Do they called the Atlanta arena “Blueland” because the empty seats are painted blue?

I mean, holy fuck. The Penguins are in town and the arena is half full?

And the place is so fucking quiet. It’s as if it were (half) full of people who got their tickets for free outside of Home Depot from a guy in a fucking bird suit.

Do these people understand that “large market” doesn’t necessarily mean “good market” for your particular product?

I mean, Jesus. Jerusalem is a big city, but I’m not going to go set up a fucking cheesedog stand.

Okay, so, yes I’ve been playing WoW again.

Yes, I vowed never to play WoW again.

Well, the servers being down for 18 hours was certainly epic.

Everyone’s mail disappearing was pretty epic.

Free pvp items was kind of epic, too.

Leveling from 70-80 when 71 takes about three times as much experience as 70 did? Yeah, I can imagine having to get 5.5 million XP to ding 80 would be a bit epic.

What was really epic was logging into a 50-59 WSG with my old Rogue to discover, much to my complete UNsurprise and nevertheless amusement, that every single person on my team aside from myself and one single other rogue was a Death Knight…

Then realizing that the other team was pretty much the same way, and getting thrown in the air 5 times in a row across the battleground..

Yeah, pretty epic.

Epically fucking stupid.

Thank you Jan. Your beer is exceptional. From the Pale Ale all the way to the Cherry Porter. I enjoyed them all on my tour around your beautiful silver tanks of joy.

And to your beautiful German hostess, Daniella - who cheerfully informed me that I could in fact not be sold a bottle of beer, or give her tips… but also zat zere was absolutely no laws about ze refills, with a bright smile.

I actually had several funny things to post, and some entertaining ways to post about them. But I just woke up from my nap.
A visit to a beautiful place where money could not be spent, only beer could be drank. Many, many types of beer.

Look alive boys, two stewed prunes coming your way.

Because it really matters.

But please vote for McCain/Palin. In fact, I am officially endorsing that duo.

Why?

Well, there’ll still be bailouts, corruption, and the mass murder of brown people whenever possible. Your vote obviously means shit in that regard.

But if you elect McCain, I get to have more hot fantasies about Sarah Palin whenever I turn on the TV for four more years.

Quick! Go vote! It means more than ever this time.

So, while I’ve declined the invitation to actually speak (that it was even suggested that I might do so was kind of funny, I thought) at the upcoming IMGDC 3.0 for the sake of the conference’s respectability, I thought I’d mention that I will actually likely be headed there.

April 17-19 in Las Vegas. Breaking up the crappy weather around here with a quick trip to lose money playing poker and get drunk with people who actually enjoy talking about video games sounds like a good time.

So if you’re so inclined, go check it out with me.
