I Can't Beleive It's Not Fisticuffs

Sorry for the late post. But I think I've been doing pretty well with this whole regular posting thing. In any case, the first thing I'd like to make public knowledge is that World Of Warcraft jokes are back in now that Burning Crusade is out. Everything from telling Naps to bubble hearth if he's attacked by a Bengal tiger (He's in India for a while, but I'll cover that in a little while), to referencing to an argument attracting a whole group of other guys ready to fight as 'pulling adds'.

Now there's a funny story behind that last thing. Well... Not so much funny as if there were a joke, then that was the punchline. But the story's interesting none the less so shut up and listen. I was at The Bunker (a rather sub-par public lan) for the night because the Cyber Room isn't open 24/7 anymore. We were playing WoW for a while, when suddenly we heard someone start yelling behind us. It later turned out that some jerk-off had started calling everyone in the room nerds for being there, and the other guy did not take kindly to this. So they shouted for a bit, and things came very close to getting quite physical. However, the guy defending the present gamers was suddenly surrounded by like minded individuals who joined him in kicking the dick out rather promptly. We made the joke about adds and whatnot, but theres no denying that part of me wondered just what I would have done had a fight actually broken out. Being rather out of shape as I am these days, I don't think I'm quite so effective as I used to be...

So, I mentioned that Naps is in India. Well, he is. And I'm as jellous as ever. But don't think he's just going to be walking about and seeing the usual tourist traps (they have those in India don't they?), he's actually staying with one of India's most famous journalists, which gives him access to a far more interesting experience than my feeble money could purchase. I guess when both your parents are big in the art business, you get to know people. In any case, he's going to be heading out with a reporter who's traveling into the jungle with a group of activists who are looking for some Bengal tigers. Needless to say, it'll be pretty dangerous and he'll be cut off from civilization for a few days... But I always hate it when I miss out on an adventure.

Now for those of you still wondering whether or not Burning Crusade warrants getting back into WoW (as I myself did), then allow me to say that my personal experience has been that that the money spent was spent wisely as I'm enjoying the game again. But if you want a more professional opinion, then Gametrailers is always happy to provide.

Shout out to Max for his 18th birthday which is commin up very soon. I'll see you at the party.
