Shared Topic: Eavesdropping on WoW Conversations

Have you ever been out and about and overheard someone talking about WoW, or someone overheard you and butted in?

Internet Censorship and the Future of World of Warcraft in Australia

Then someone realised that even if the content itself is out of our reach in Australia, the user’s ability to see it is well within our control. Since 2000 a project has been underway to create the Great Australian Firewall. All internet service providers in Australia – the guys you connect to first in order to access the internet – will check what you want to look at against the government’s good and bad list.

My Faithful Raiding Companion

I was inspired by Keeva & Kae’s pet posts and thought I would share a picture of my part angel/part devil cat Tristam. 

So Righteous

Occasionally I’ll get an idea in my head that really ought to award me the title The Insane all on its own. This is one of them. My Rogue, Chriara, has currently taken up residence, full-time, at the servant’s entrance to Stratholme.

Inscription and Demand

Those reasons remain true and valid (except for that last one now that the shoulder enhancements are Bind to Account). But now that I can make a whole bunch of glyphs, Darkmoon cards, vellum and junk a part of my brain still can’t quite adjust to this profession. And it’s the part of my brain that wonders how it’s possible to make gold out of the profession.

2009 Wrap Up, The Pink Pigtail Inn List

Larissa over at Pink Pigtail Inn has started a 2009 awards show! How exciting does that sound? Anyway as I love to ramble I found it too hard to give succinct nominations via a comment on her blog, and instead decided to post it as a blog of my own. So below are the Hots & Dots nominations for 2009.
