I used to like Wired mag alot … back when they had a spine. They could do worse for themselves, I suppose; it’s not as if they’ve become tech’s version of FoxNooz.

I did pharm some ok links: Wired’s shiny, happy Warcraft review and an article discussing open-source online gaming (o ya, that would work), which included a link to a gaming blog I hadn’t seen before, written by some guy that got kicked out of Sims Online.

Anyone that gets kicked out of Sims Online has my immediate endorsement, free of charge.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist. But I know this: Eliminating the Warcraft queues by disconnecting excess login requests isn’t really solving the queue problem. (post 26)

But that’s just me. I’m all about the players.

UPDATE!!!! Almost two hours after the mysterious login disco problems began, I can now access my character again with no discernible queue. If I didn’t need to get some sleep now, this would be good news.
