Rumors and gossip of gaming celebrities abound in every game that’s ever gone live, but I think I spotted The Most Famous Gaming Celebrity Ever, and in Guild Wars of all places … known by many names, has had a book on the best-seller list for over a couple of centuries now, He needs no introduction:

This is God

DAYMMMNN.

I can understand how a virtual world would appeal to God. Many say that those who create them are playing God. I won’t go that far, but the temptation to dabble in others’ affairs and manipulate world events is irresistible.

Extra points for the player “Archer Henchman” next to God, and I’m a big enough person to admit that I did a double take when I saw a normally-stationery henchman running around in town.

This week I finally downloaded the 1.4.1 World of Warcraft patch. Up until the last 10 percent or so of the patch, it wasn’t too slow. I suspect the gauge is bullshit though, because that last 10 percent took 4fe, therefore, I had plenty of time to contemplate the patch window.

This is a minor criticism in Patch Note Composition, but for crissakes, if you’re going to headline a nerf like that, tell me some good stuff about the patch that I can’t live without (i.e. NOT punctuation and fonts.) I dunno, put sparkles on something or “claim” to have increased the drop rate of some shit *wink wink*.

I’m sure glad I already have my alt through most of the instances except the highend farmables — that’s one helluva nerf for the little folk.

I’d like to know the story behind this Guild Wars character name choice:

Ted Bundy

Fan? Death penalty protester? Former penpal? Stared at the character creation screen for too long and was fresh out of ideas?

Normally, I don’t pressure anyone to pierce the veil of gaming anonymity that we all have come to know and love, but there would be no way in Hell that I’d call a guildmate Ted, as in Ted Bundy. I’d need to know a real name here or ANYTHING ELSE to call him/her/it. But hey, that’s just me.

I didn’t even think to check Ted’s class, but I’ll bet it’s Necromancer.
