through a convoluted series of events that span almost an entire year and include writing classes and comic book fans, i’ve been invited to participate in a closed beta for an up and coming …um… let’s go with “conversation site.” they define themselves much better and it’s probably better for me to just quote them [...]

yes, yes, i’m sure that the people who put together the absurd amount of april fool’s jokes for your website(s) today are not the same ones that might have wanted to spend a bit more time with the patch you installed this morning, but still. spending all that time on jokes only to have your [...]

so i quit WoW almost 2 months ago, but hadn’t gotten around to killing my account. every time i thought about, it wasn’t near my computer. tonight, i logged into their website to cancel it. coolest part: i’d forgotten my password. second to least coolest part: they give you a dropdown menu of reasons for [...]

another reformed WoW’er weighs in on life after the game. while his article is interesting in its own right, the comments thread is disturbing and fascinating. for every 4 or 5 posts from a recover(ing) addict, there are 2 or 3 from people who have lost or are losing loved ones, and one person so [...]

while multitasking at work yesterday, steve and i started chatting on a broad range of topics. i do not understand why he doesn’t read more books. he doesn’t understand why i consider participating in nanowrimo to be a guilty pleasure. this led to a more refined discussion about how for me, it’s about the story.

i may have sat in front of my computer all night, but the only time i loaded up WoW was for an auction house scan. what was i doing? ….you’ll see… edit: HAW! turns out i couldn’t have played all night, even if i wanted to. the login servers are down. ah well, it’s still [...]

so i piqued hans’ and ryan’s curiosity enough that they picked up trial passes as well. i grabbed another trial to play along (cuz the full version won’t arrive until 12/22 at the earliest). to play together as newbies, we started out in the dwarf/gnome area. we logged 4+ hours in a very chaotic round [...]

i didn’t think my screenshot attempts were working since nothing showed up in my non-existent screenshots folder, until i noticed a few random images on my desktop. this is a bit of one of them. it’s my lvl 16 character taking a griffin ride from one town to another. i thought it was purty.

…that i logged 35 hours almost to the minute, before tonight. 3.5/day average, like i thought. i spent just over 24 hours on the one character. that was a little disturbing to see. 1/10 of my time over the last 10 days was spent with that one toon. also in answer to the “do they [...]
