The Ole Dusty Road

Welp, it’s time to hit the ole dusty road. Foton, the Guild Wars character, needs a vacation.

Just a change of scenery. A summer project, as it were.

Maybe a few weeks carousing in Booty Bay. I do miss stumbling home from the local tavern to my shack high above the bay. Obviously I’d need some drinking money … goblin snort don’t come cheap. But, a few hours in Blackrock each day for a night of debauchery in Boot-ay seems a small price to pay.

One of my drinking buddies is trying to sell a romp in Camelot. Of course, I explained that I wouldn’t be “romping” anywhere, thankyouverymuch, but a few weeks fighting the good fight for Albion, Midgard or whateverthehell that last one was wouldn’t kill me. Actually, fuck the last one, I didn’t hit max level in that realm so would be Albion or Midgard. Not to mention all the expansions I don’t have and if memory serves, my toon is dirt poor. And probably has shit equipment by today’s standards.

PlayOn

PlayOn — interesting WoW statistics, including commentary, by the Palo Alto Research Center. Of course, you know most of this already if you’ve played WoW to level 60, but will confirm your suspicions about the priest stranglehold on the endgame. (that’s hyperbole, folks!)

The Bizzaro Blizzard World

I swear, it must be like talking to a brick wall over there at Castle Blizzard. One of the suits walks to the khaki area, he (she) makes a few remarks, chastizes the worker bees, reminds them of this, that or the other priority and looks out at a sea of blank faces.

Anything? Is anything getting through?

A recent post by Abalieno of The Cesspit discusses the new! and improved! battlegrounds patch, and includes a link to some battlegrounds info courtesy of Furor. On the FoHror boards. (UPDATE 6/05: FoHror link is dead. Why, it’s almost as if it never happened!)

Doesn’t this seem oh so familiar? Yes, yes it does. Before you refresh your memory, I should warn you that the link to Blizzard’s response at the end is no longer operational. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence. Maybe it was removed/moved to save fa .. space or something.

Nevertheless, I’m just really curious what kind of an operation they have over there. Shit. When my boss says do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the signs?, he doesn’t have to tell me twice. Color me obedient, I like to get paid.

Any parents looking to get a job at Blizzard, they have nice benefits. Sounds like it’s one big daycare center.
