That’s why there haven’t been any updates.  Except maybe that I’m excited that World of Warcraft is about to release a new expansion called Wrath of the Lich King.  I put it on my Christmas list.

Is that pathetic, or what?  LOL

When I was 19 I came home from work and my roommate and the guy I had been dating were doing the wild-thing.  I was still a virgin.

I learned two things from it.

Never trust your roommate.

Men are pigs when it comes to sex. 

Brian knew I wasn’t ready, and also knew my roommate was a slut so he went for “five easy pieces”.

Brian and I stopped dating and I kicked my roommate out (she also owed me several months rent.)

Oops, I learned three things.  Number 3 was to stop being so generous. 

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

When I first started playing World of Warcraft, I wasn’t interested in fighting other players.  I just wanted to do quests, get rewards, and level my character.  So the best place for me was a PvE server (Player vs. Environment).  I tried to play on a PvP server (Player vs. Player) but was constantly getting “ganked” – that’s where another player who is a member of the opposite faction and much higher level keeps killing you then “camping” your corpse and waiting for you to resurrect so they can kill you again.  Makes game play not fun at all.  So I stopped playing on PvP servers.

Okay, so I’ve been playing for over three years and avoided PvP for the entire three years.  Then I formed a guild – partly as a joke for some friends who played and were known as the inner sanctimonious.  I thought it was going to remain a very small guild with just family and friends, but it grew (90 members when I signed off tonight).  Some of the guys who joined the guild got into going into the battlegrounds.  One of the battlegrounds (Warsong Gulch) is a game called “Capture the Flag” – each team has three flags and the idea is to capture the opposite team’s flags.  There are three of them.  You have to get their flag and bring it back to your own home base.  You “capture” it by placing it with your own flag.  If they have your flag and are running with it, you can’t “capture” theirs until they drop it and it’s returned (by someone on your team clicking on it).  These games can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours.  I’ve played two in the last 24 hours that were more than an hour each.

So, while one of your team members is trying to capture your opponent’s flag, you have to go “clear the way” for them or protect them while they are running with the flag.  This is where you get honor points, for “killing” the enemy (they go to their graveyard and “resurrect” after up to 30 seconds). 

Then there are “Marks”.  You get one “mark” just for playing.  If your team wins, you get two additional marks.  You turn marks and honor in for fabulous prizes (like better armor).

I didn’t realize how much fun this was.  I average 350 kills a day and 60 marks a day (on my days off, that is).  I’ve gotten some pretty good gear (virtual gear for my character – a nice dagger for my warlock, a nice staff for my mage, a nice “ring of protection” that has magical protective effects for my shaman, etc.) 

It really reminds me a lot of games we played when we were kids.  Except we didn’t kill each other lol
