Bugs

This weekend I had an unfortunate “accident” deep inside a hive in Warcraft’s Silithus. If you must know, I underestimated this elite level 60-something priest bitch and she sent me packing … to the graveyard.

Of course, there’s never a resurrection-enabled player wandering around deep in the Silithus hives when I need one, so I had to release my bod and load the graveyard. I figured, “I’ll just ghost my way back down and we’ll see who’s the boss this time, stupid-priest-bitch-that-I-hate.”

WRONG! My Ghost of Shame got sent to the Westfall graveyard, one Great Sea and several griff flights away from Silithus, instead of the Silithus graveyard, a short ghost run from the Hive of Shame. (the fuck?) I wasn’t so sober not to file a petition on that crap, and I wasn’t so drunk that I hoped for repair reimbursements or a GM summons. Still, that was some shit.

The Petition (clickable for larger view):

Hive Death

The Response:

Hive Death Petition Response

Translation: Too bad for me.

I really hate bugs. *rim shot*

E3: From the Outside-In

Proposal: Veteran E3 attendees from Colorado Springs are making a documentary about this year’s swag-fest to give “… an unprecedented look of E3 that no one’s been shown before: from the outside-in. It’s the goal of this documentary that we inspire, educate, or at least entertain viewers about an event that’s always been dangled out of reach of the average gamer.” Problem: they need $15,000 for equipment and production supplies. Solution: You and your kind donations. (To date: $414 collected.) And when I say “You”, I mean “Not me” because I think this is what credit cards and generous retail return policies are for.

World of Offline Gaming

Short comedy where typical online gaming behavior invades real life: World of Offline Gaming. Deadpan Entertainment’s production notes are here ($70 plus beer to produce) and their reaction to some of the critical commentary on the WarcraftMovies.com is on their rant page: Haters .. why do they have to hate? (2nd 2/27/06 entry. Permalinks wru?) I dunno, some of the cited hate seems like legit criticism but I’m not the one that spent 70 bucks plus beer to make an indie short.
