Terrorists Use Magic

Posted on by

Cmon people! Think before you publish!

The head of the Australian High Tech Crime Centre in Canberra, Kevin Zuccato, has warned that terrorists can gain training in games such as Second Life and another game known as the World of Warcraft, using weapons similar to those in the real world.

(“Terrorists practise on cyber game“, The Australian, July 31, 2007)

This should have been the followup question: Are you high?

  1. using weapons similar to those in the real world.

    I will be sure to /reportFBI next time I see someone link Martin Thunder. /eyeroll

    I become more and more convinced every day that the terrorists have already won.

  2. I believe the required reply is that we need to cast Magic Missle at all this darkness…

  7. Finally, the way to win a war revealed!!

    Someone call dub-ya and tell him: Right click FTW!!

  8. As Foton said, they should think before typing. Does this also mean that I can apply for counter-terrism jobs because I have a level 70 warlock, who is an Enchanter/Tailor?

    Friggin silly.

  9. Don’t worry guys, Terrorists are gonna be nerfed with the Resilliance buff next patch anyway

  10. For what it’s worth, The Australian is a Murdoch publication.

    So think Fox News levels of credibility here.

  11. Futon,

    Love the blog, been reading it for months. Just a quick nit pick at the new layout, I keep finding myself clicking the button I think will take me to the next page in chronological order and finding that I have instead gone back a post. Maybe its just me, but it seems your buttons are opposite the norm… the right button takes you back not forward. Maybe its just me or my browser (IE at work 🙁 ), but I think it is the way it is designed. Guess you might intentionally be messing with my head as well 🙂

    Awesome blog,
    Kos

  12. you might intentionally be messing with my head as well

    My work here is done.

    Yes, it is opposite the norm because I think the norm is stupid. But the norm is what it is and I’ll change it back. I’m sure you’re not the only one who noticed I was flauting blog-eity’s conventions and experimenting with the time/space continuum.

    UPDATE: Finished navigation changes. Older entries, older post will always be the left-clicky and newer entries/post always the right clicky. Anyone else looking to customize their WP navigation, good discussion on the codex, esp. Kubrick Theme Format.

  13. I suspected something was up when someone invited “Al Kida” and “Dye YouEss” to the group. Be warned, these two were ninja looters and kept asking about the times the guards switched in Stormwind.

  14. At approximately 9:35 am this morning, two buildings in Shattarth were hit by two Nether Drakes, officials believe that Al Kida operatives were somehow involved. The search for Osma BinGdrinkin, lvl 70 Dwarf Terrorist and leader of Al Kida is now underway.
