Things used to be better. The sun was brighter, winters were shorter, the whole world smelled like new cars, and if you wanted to, you could order a pizza home by typing /pizza into a text chat in EverQuest 2 (opens in new tab). I'm glad I'm alive.

But some ideas are too good to leave in the dustbin of history. Perhaps that's why you can now chat with NPCs in "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" and order a pizza for Domino's delivery. This is due to a mod called Nickies' Pizzablivion (open in new tab), and if you close your eyes, you can imagine that you are back in 2005.

This mod adds a character named Pizza Black on the edge of Weye village. When you talk to him, there is an option to "order a pizza," and when you click on it, a pre-determined Domino's order will be delivered to your door. Currently, the default order is:

$28.23 including tax and delivery. Nickies, the author of this mod, has not mentioned whether this mod will work outside the US, but I would be surprised if it doesn't work unless you tinker with it a lot. He does say that it may take a few tries to get it to work. In testing, Pizza Black succeeded in placing the order only on the second try. [i.e., Oblivion Script Extender (opens in new tab), OBSE Plugin Network Pipe (opens in new tab), and Magicjarvis fork of the ggrammar PizzaPi module (opens in new tab). Most of these mods have fairly detailed installation instructions that can be simply dropped into the appropriate folders.

However, there is a small warning. For this mod to work properly, you need to enter your address and card details in the .py document that comes with it. Nikki's stresses that use of Nikki's Pizza Brion is at your own risk and has nothing to do with Domino's. But, well, I must admit I am still very tempted.
