    The concept of WoW and other online games is not that far removed from the concept of a lively forum where a group of people get together and exchange thoughts etc. It just goes on in a large 3d world where they're all playing a game..

    It's not like 2nd life where people pretend to be children and sell virtual kiddy time to paedos. Now that's scary..
    Anybody notice the parells of people living in the real world and thoes in the the virtual and the Time Machine story, where the human race splits, one part goes underground and the rest stay on top. The people who stay outside live a fairytale life provided by the monsters underground until it time to eat them.
    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

      yeah, and the ones on the surface are all beautiful and the ones under are horrible and slimy. Now, what was that all about?

        In answer to the original question...

        Friday:
        Nightmare journey from work to the airport.
        Late flight.
        Reasonable drive to my parents.
        More CUK.

        Saturday:
        Entertaining children and going to the bazaar in the village where my parents live. Wife is away for the weekend.

        Sunday:
        Entertain daughter #2 while my mum takes daughter #1 to the theatre.
        Go home.
        Pack.
        Early to bed ready for flight in the morning.

        Excitement all weekend then.

          World of Warcraft : Patch 2.3 came out on Wednesday, and with it, the ZA instance...so we have 35 players wanting to go raid the 10 man dungeon....so that's Saturday sorted. Sunday is boardgame day.
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Bumped into Viswanathan Anand, the world chess champion. He's fascinated by a new opening I've devised, so he's visiting the farmhouse tomorrow for a few games.
