Almost everyone who has either meandered over to the electronic store shelves, paid a visit to a local video game shop, or has a kid who is or who knows internet-savvy friends has at least heard of this game. (heck you don’t even have to be a kid… but you know how that stereotype goes) World of Warcraft is, if not one of, the most popular Massive Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Games on the market!
And I would like to know all about your adventures, character, guilds, or even just funny/cool/interesting stories you’ve had or heard about involving World or Warcraft, or “WoW”, as many people abbreviate it down to.
As for myself; you can easily find me controlling an avatar named “Maileigh” (currently) on the following servers: Arathor, Thunderhorn, Zul’jin.
“Kiokulemira” on the Dragonbligt server.
And “Jine” also on Thunderhorn server.
… or was that name “Jian”?
Seeing countless interview after interview of general paint-brush questions from people who don’t seem to want to answer with any depth beyond “Well, you know, that is a fantastic experience! I like baithing in cheese”, this interview of Ken Watanabe is refreshing. A wildly talented and capable actor who uses his “instincts” to choose roles that are forceful, inspiring and memorable says more than he likely ever has about himself and his personal battles and, if you read into what he says, some more of his fundamental beliefs and ambitions. So many actors and actresses, so much dimension in one man. From the article:
‘”Oh yes, there are things in scripts that you cannot let go by. In ‘Letters from Iwo Jima,’ there were times when I told Eastwood, ‘This is just not believable,’ ” he says, adding that he made daily suggestions and asked the director to make sure that costumes, props and sets were accurate. “The story had to be true, but Eastwood is not someone I had to fight with because he always listened carefully and respected my opinions, right up to the end of the movie.”
The Japan Times: “‘What is Hollywood anyway?’”

I go to check my e-mail this morning and what do I find?
Glow in the dark Cats.
Wow…
Found this on Yahoo news… A man turns up alive after years of being missing and presumed dead claiming Amnesia… until someone googled him and found out he was really just having an… extended vacation shall we say? In Panama.

For all of you aspiring Psudocidals it’s not as easy to dissapear as it would seem…
Just because a word is not a part of the English language formally (e.g. in Merrian-Webster or the Oxford) that doesn’t mean it can’t heavily influence or indicate where the language is going. Merrian-Webster, for example, announced that the Word of the Year for 2007 is none other than “woot“, not to be confused boot, root, or toot — all of which are adermable if under-recognized members of the documented English language. We salute all of you for your service. But today, “woot” is king.
Who wants to be in charge of the roast for “woot” and associated 1337 speak language counterparts? Wait, you don’t know what 1337 speak is? I’m sure you do. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably been using it frequently. (More information from Wikipedia on 1337 Speak)
From the Merrian-Webster article:
1. w00t (interjection)
expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word “yay”
From the Wikipedia article on 1337
Many words originally derived from Leet slang have now become part of the modern Internet slang, such as “pwned“.[1] The primary driving force of new vocabulary in Leet is the need to describe new phenomena. Another force is common misspelling and mistyping such as “teh“, and intentional misspellings,[12] especially the “z” at the end of words (”skillz”).[1] Another prominent example of a surviving Leet expression is w00t, an exclamation of joy.[2]
Congratulations, “woot”! We all love you!
