I’m just saying…

Whew… that WoW business. Just damn.

There’s a few things that have catapaulted this game to the top of my list of “Greatest Games of All Ever.” The mechanics are good and the combat’s intuitive. Feels very realtimey. And addictive. But the main reasons I’m in love with this game are for certain aesthetic things, which normally isn’t what I’m all about but sometimes, y’know?

Ok. I’m running this Gnome Mage on Dark Iron. Haven’t gotten into the huge raids yet, but that’s fine because I don’t think my connection could handle it if I tried. But that’s beside the point. Mages have a spell called “Conjure Food.” Lets you summon food for you and your pals to eat and regain health. But the food you summon?

Muffins.

A Gnome utilizing ancient and nameless arcane powers, the very stuff that composes time and space, to summon Muffins. I am in awe.

The other thing is that character animation and emoting is top notch. Voice acting is also just swell. Particularly the Trolls. They’re Carribean. The Male Troll, when he dances? He does Capoeira. I am in awe.

My Mage, also, when in need of escape, can turn his Foe into a Sheep. It’s the little things that win my heart in games.

At any rate, I’m going to inform you that in addition to pissing my time away in Azeroth, I’ve been hard at work on something. I don’t wanna give away any details, but I can tell you it’s Webcomic related. It’s going to be cool, and should be coming very soon. So, while I’m hard at work on that, posting is going to be on a like, every other day or less basis until it’s live and public. But I have some substance to write about, so all should be swell.

Now I’ve gotta get back to work on this here secret project. Sooner I get that done, sooner I can return to normal activity around here. And I don’t mean the stagnant kind of normal activity, you wiseacres.
