(Somewhat inaccurate transcript of a recent TeamSpeak convo):
Foton: Hey man, that formula you’ve been looking for is on the AH. (and yes, we actually pronounce it AH instead of Auction House, which makes absolutely NO SENSE, but hey.)
EnchanterBud: buyout on it? how much?
F: 60 big ones on the buyout.
EB: What the fuck!
F: Gotta want it.
EB: I ain’t paying that shit. What’s the bid at and time left?
F: 20 gold, very long on time.
EB: fuck.
F: Dude. Gotta want it.
Somebody, whose name is Nebu, might want to check the Warcraft home page in Mozilla Firefox. All the COOL people use that.
(Ok, I’m done beating up on Blizzard for the day. So unless all the servers spontaneously combust tonight, I’ll stop taking potshots.)
Even though I said I didn’t want to go into this shit again, I can’t resist this. Blizzard from today’s announcement re: the 48-hour extension: “We’ve received many calls and emails from players telling us how much they’re enjoying World of Warcraft and that they would just like to have a more consistent connection experience.” Heh. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is SPIN.
