You know who should write a book about the dangers of video game addiction? The South Korean couple that let their child die because they were too busy playing Prius Online. I would read that because it's genuinely tragic and would probably shed some *actual* light on the subject instead of a guy with a doctorate in philosophy who seems like he oversold his circumstances to get a book deal.

The term dynamic quest is beginning to bug me. The more I read makes it clearer that they're all still scripted and you'll more or less do the same ones in the same order which isn't dynamic at all. Only way to really prove that they are actually dynamic is to do multiple play throughs which no journo seems to have done yet. I hope I'm wrong but it really just seems like every other scripted quest out there.

Might not be autotune but you've definitely done some mastering.

Still, I like it. You do have a nice voice and while I do wish you sort of changed lyrics a bit more, you're right and they do fit.

Looking forward to hearing more.

Wahlberg? This is now going to suck more than the Planet of the Apes.

I'm sort of two minds about this issue. On the one hand, I think it's really great that you've gone ahead and taken that step to be the person you want to be but on the other hand I'm not sure a lot of people would appreciate it being broadcast in such a grandeous fashion. At the same time I fully acknowledge that this is probably one of those things that I will never ever truly understand, but World of Warcraft, despite everyone thinking otherwise, is a game. It's a game that people play for a multitude of reasons and damn near all of them don't need an injection of real life in order to make it function better. I sort of liken this whole D.M. post to Ellen coming out and saying "I'm Ellen and I'm gay" all of those years ago. I was one of those people that said "so f@*!ing what" back then and part of me is saying "so f@&1ing what" to this entire column. Obviously Ellen went on to do bigger and better things, but that had nothing to do with the fact that she's a lesbian. The fact that she was a lesbian is a very small facet of who is she as a person and that person sort of spat in the face of adversity and just got on with it.

You're obviously a very brave person, Gender-Reroller and I think if you're brave enough to go ahead and put your situation out there, you're brave enough to deal with the asshats on your realm. The World of Warcraft community is more or less cruel to EVERYONE and that's pretty much not going to change. Blizzard has put tools in place to combat this; use your ignore list and if you honestly feel like some dipshit is taking it too far, report them. Alternatively, its worth noting that not everyone is going to be as accepting as they should be and given the fact that the buggers can hide behind a mask of anonymity and that too isn't going to change.

This is one of the reasons why Richard Knaak pisses me off. Outside of the fact that the guy is a pretty crap writer, he also is pretty self serving by putting his own creation that have never ever been mentioned in already established Warcraft lore in situations where they have no business being. These obscure characters assist the real heroes of Warcraft in ways that make the real heroes seem particularly helpless without the help of Knaak's pet characters. This makes an appearance in the Stormrage novel where one of the character's pretty much takes the whole premise of the Green Dragonflight's relationship with the Night Elves and slaps it square in the face, not to mention that he's sort of defaced an entire timeline by flapping around with time travel.

Also, I honestly hope that Nozdormu (or some facet of him) isn't behind the Infinite Flight. I'd really not spend the next two or three expansions systematically killing off the remaining Dragonflights. I understand why Malygos went insane, I can understand Deathwing but now they're beginning to make references that Ysera and the greens are being corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare. Malygos is dead. Deathwing most likely going to die. Ysera is most likely going to be corrupted and killed. If Nozdormu is actually the leader of the Infinites, he's most likely going to die. In the meantime, Alexstrasza being the queen of the dragons and at her very core the protector of all life on Azeroth could go ahead and look at this pattern and go all Arthas a la Culling of Stratholme and decide that it is in the best interest of the continuation of life on Azeroth that the red dragonflight purge the remaining dragonflights seeing as they're prone to corruption. This ultimate fall from grace for Alexstrasza would probably play out in typical Blizzard fashion and result in the red flight being corrupted, Alexstrasza going mad with power and the Kirin Tor deciding that the next 25-man raid should involve something to do with hanging the dragon queen's head from the pillars of Dalaran.

I'd rather fight against the remaining Old Gods than slaughter what remains of the once great Dragonflights.

I only wish Blizzard hadn't left their expanded lore in the hands of Knaak. The guy is terrible.

Australia has been doing this for yonks. There are no providers that do uncapped broadband. Absolutely none.
