Techno-babble from yet another babbler RSS 2.0
# Monday, August 01, 2005

Well, my private life is officially over. I finally made the biggest mistake (read: "best decision of my life" (behind marrying my absolutely gorgeous bride of course (Hi Honey!!)). I went out and bought World Of Warcraft. After not being able to relax and play games for a couple of weeks due to all the programming leading up to Code Camp, I decided to play games ALL weekend. And you know what? It was everything that I hoped it would be. Call me a slacker, but I enjoy relaxing by parking my butt in front of a monitor and playing video games.

WoW is just as beautiful as Guild Wars and, save for teleportation routines, has no load screens once you're in game (Note To Game Makers: LOAD TIMES SUCK). Being the absolute loser that I am, I actually found myself spending a decent amount of my in-game time fishing, cook, picking plants (aka Herbalism), and making potions. Over the weekend, I was able to get my character up to Level 12.

My character is a Tauren Druid (say hello to my Bear Form bizitch). I'm located on the Draenor server and my character's name is Rendru. Caveat: While Rendru might sound decent and creative, I must admit that there is absolutely NO creativity to the name (tauREN DRUid). You see? Anyways, if you're around, ping me some time. I'll probably be soloing for quite a while (until I get to a certain point) but that doesn't mean we can't chat, right?

Anyways, what does this mean for all of you? Bluntly, I may not get the articles up as fast as I possibly would.
