Posts to Vacation by

Well I'm off to Las Vegas for a Conference; back next weekend. So I thought I'd leave you with some of my favorite reads over the past few weeks:

First: Have you seen the show "Heroes?" If so then be sure to check out Hiro's blog. It's a fictional blog (FULL OF SPOILERS) of the character named Hiro. He's a bit of a geeky gamer type so a lot of his references to story events are from the gamer's perspective. This one made me laugh out loud:

Note to all my fellow gamers. In a game, you see a weapon on the floor, you pick it up. In real life, you see a weapon on the floor, probably not a good idea to pick it up.

Fun reading:

Surviving a Geek Convention: A Guide from worldofwar.net including a comparison of the PR folks from Blizzard and NCSoft (Guild Wars, City of Heroes, City of Villains)

Cluck! I don't know, I just saw the catch line as hilarious. You have to read it to appreciate it.

A live journal discussion about possible WoW license plates

Forum Post - I Played WoW and Became a Terrorist - a great read which you may have found already. I just had to post it because I too met someone in game from Canada and took a trip to visit. (/wave Durn). Plus this guy is hysterical. Had I been stopped and questioned IRL by a government official, I'm not sure I would've had the wit to respond like this:

"What kind of game is this?"
"It's a fantasy game ... it takes place online."
"Fantasy ... like it's got wizards and warlocks?"
"Well, it's got warlocks." (And they need to be nerfed.)

WoW Movie Post Collection

Back in May with all the E3 hoopla, Blizzard announced there would be a Live Action Warcraft Movie (press release). Since then I've collected a few posts about it. Some are pretty funny. Enjoy:
