I decided to buy a month of Warcraft time as vacation thing and because I wanted to see the concert setup with Lisa and I gave into the xpac hype.

... I ended up buying six months worth...

GOSH, I'm dumb. I feel amazingly stupid, because with the 1 month plan, I can be flaky and stop when I want. On the other hand, I'm only paying $13 US a month for each month... but... I'm a tightwad. I will walk 20 blocks to avoid using a transit token. I will price check about a billion stores before buying something. I still don't have a cellphone, because I think it's a money pit. So, accidentally spending $80 on online gaming is enough to make me pass out. 0_0

And yes, I called up tech support and they said that I can't reverse it. So, I better pick an alt to work on. Still only want to play every other weekend or so.

But my word, LOOK AT THE PRETTY. That trailer is so cheesy (Kate and I heckled it - "One shot kill? She's totally a holy priest! And it looks like the guy landed in the Plaguelands!"), but the scenery reminds me a lot of Northern Ontario. Epic stretches of rocky landscape and forests, with a sky that's larger than life... it's college all over again!

Now, if I can scrape together 2500 gold and get my epic riding skill, the six months will by worth it. :(

Heee!

Sorry about all of the Warcraft spam, but it's BlizzCon and some of this stuff is just TOO GOOD.

Plus some of us are waiting for Escape from Orgrimmar to be released and are amusing by random stuff.

Warning: If you're a spoiler-hyper person, stop after C'Thun (the giant eyeballs) in the following link. There's a quick sneak peak of the raid boss form of a major canon character.

Molten Core Version 2.0

A remake/parody of Molten Core, based on player suggestions... so you know it HAS to be good. My favorite is the "AoE Edwin VanCleef Pull". That's just too amazing. The googly eyes of C'Thun are awesome too.
