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.

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

I play online games all the time but I tend to stick to MOH and CoD type games, I must admit I have never played WoW, not because I don't like that sort of thing I just don't have the time. My mate was saying how they went to a tailor and bought black suits etc, is that perfectly normal in WoW?
One of my old mates who I never see these days (I wonder why?) is very much into WoW, he was telling me about how one of his clan had died in real life and how they had an online funeral, he was deadly serious when explaining how disrespectful it was when a gang of orks ruined it by attacking them as they stood by the graveside... I was absolutely pissing myself at this point which made him quite angry.
There's nowt as queer as folk.
I've heard of similar stories.

they are real people, didn't you know? Just last week a friend of mine told me he couldn't go out because he had just been killed by a giant easter island statue being thrown on him.....

again? I'm going to have such bad kharma - I'll end up coming back as whatever it is gnats squash..
oh, but he'll be back as a virus and destroy you from within, and then he'll mutate into a supergiant squid and destroy that little stupid island of yours with all those little stupid statues and then he'll become a flying molten lava spitting dragon and boil the ocean where the island was and then he'll join the CUK Forum and haunt you here and THEN you'll be sorry...
