Don’t Be An American Idiot

I VotedHey! You Americans! Move away from the keyboard and go vote.

You have time, it’s “Vacuum out the Warcraft Servers” day.

I’m way ahead of ya, though. Voted this morning on the way to work.

I’ll share my super leet strat for voting — unless there’s evidence to the contrary, every incumbent is a crook, and the longer they’re in office, the more likely they are to be crooked.

I look at it this way, I’m doing them a FAVOR by sending them home. Let some new guy have a chance, that’s my vote.

Whatever your leet strat is, get out there and do eet. If you don’t, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. And the Republicans. (I’m kidding.)

P.S. Here’s some pics from polling places across the nation via the AIGA Polling Place Photo Project. I would have snapped a few at my polling place, but the scary goth election judge looked like the type who would jump the table and crack my skull with the camera.

Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe

Lum’s been googling for World of Warcraft hacks again. From Gamespot, the down and dirty:

The World of Warcraft guild Overrated has been permanently banned by Blizzard Entertainment after it was caught cheating in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Guild members used an exploit that essentially knocked down walls, according to postings on World of Warcraft-related forums.

i.e. used an exploit that took advantage of client-side movement.

Well fucking duh. EVERYBODY, including my teenaged gaming neighbor Skippy, knows that WoW has too much in the client.

This is also a good reminder of a life lesson most of us learned in grade school: Two people cannot keep a secret.

And its corollary: There’s no way in Hell an entire guild can keep a secret.
