The Sun !!! It Burns !!!

Posted on by

I’ve been burning through a lot of Warcraft content lately, which means I haven’t spent much time outside, other than the amount of time I spend walking from my car into my office building.

Foton Scrooge: You there! Boy! What day is it?

Unwashed British lad delivering papers: Why it’s December 14, gov’nr.

Foton Scrooge: Then I haven’t missed Christmas! (yet.)

Oh ya, and I had to get gas yesterday morning, so I was outside briefly for that, too. I also had to take a Warcraft boat to go visit the winky dink NPC trainer and the virtual sun was in my view, so I think that should count.

Anyhow … I’ve enjoyed my Warcraft time, for the most part. I’ve run into a few annoying bugs, of course, and from what I read, sending a bug report on same wouldn’t do jack or squat. It’s not as if I would send a bug report anyways; I’m not getting a paycheck to report this shit after all.

I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say that I really hate the “loot and scooters” — the “I got mine, good luck with all of yours” people.

I caught wind of an ebay link to a Warcraft player auction for a level 60 character. By the time my slacker e-friend sent the actual link to me, it had been shut down, but said e-friend reported that it was the original level 60 of the game.

I asked what the hell does “original” mean? Did he mean the first level 60? The first level 60 on our server? He couldn’t answer the question with enough details to satisfy even my loose sense of fair and balanced.

He added that the account had since been banned by Blizzard. I asked where did he get that info then? How did he know this? Apparently, he heard from “some dude”.

Ok, so what we have here is: Some level 60 may have been ebaying his account which might have been subsequently banned by Blizzard.

Ya, we have nothing.
