WOO! a rare moment of joy in a dark world...

OK, I'm actually on quite an up, for two silly reasons...

1. I've found a download link for the complete run of 'EARTHWORM JIM' the TV cartoon series, which was great, and, no, you're wrong, it was great! If you need more convincing, Jim himself was voiced by the same guy that voices some Homer guy that seems to be popular... (yea, Dan Castenalleta). I guess the reason it got canned is the same reason so many others have been, it was good, and a lil bit 'out there' (Ren & Stimpy, Family Guy anyone? although Peter Griffin got thrown a surprise lifeline, Welcome back Peter!)

2. Thud! by Terry Pratchett got an early release and I have my copy, double woo!
RRP £17.99, or £9.99 from yer friendly local Sussex Stationers, unless you're not local to me, in which case, you can go and pay vastly over the odds online instead. Me being one of those Benefit squandering leeches that the Daily Mail is so fond of, and cant understand why we are not just selling our spare organs to survive instead of bleeding our fine taxpayers dry, I've gotta be kinda careful now because I'm actually very skint now! I'm not sure where people get their numbers from, but I'm certainly not a rich man, and If I felt capable of regular, gainful employment, I'd much rather be doing it than spending time with my face pressed to the carpet going MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH for no apparent reason. But anyway, I wouldnt wipe my arse with the Daily mail, in case my arse started trying to kill foreigners.

Another well thought out and easy flowing piece of text I see...come back soon for deep meaningful insight into the world we live in soon! ( or maybe in two weeks depending on how much I've been inhaling carpet fibres.)

Ok, I'm back again, ish

So I'm being forced at gunpoint...almost to finally update my blog, I have fink behind me.
The high point of my existence still seems to be World of Warcraft, and I think that there's a few reasons I'm still in it.

Firstly, as some Blizzard bigwig, I believe said in an interview 'Whats the worst thing sbout WoW?' ' The players' ' oh, and the best thing?' ' the players!'

Secondly, From back in my Diablo days, I realised Blizzard are pretty good about servers etc, hell, they were doing their battle net servers for free for Diablo 2/Warcraft 3 etc, so I knew they probably wouldn't screw up WoW when they were getting around £9 a month from each player.
They have not disappointed, either, as well as usually a trouble free service,( sure, people moan, on the occasional downtimes, but that's because people always moan more than they compliment, especially if they're paying!) On top of this, they're constantly adding new servers, new areas, items, etc, etc.

Thirdly, damn, the game doesnt take itself too seriously! From the hordes of in-jokes, Hin Denburg, the zeppelin master, and Innkeepers Norman and Bates, to the rather silly items and quests, the funny emotes, like the pointless /train, which has you pumping your arm in the air going 'wooo woo chugga chugga', and the jumper cables, made with engineering skills, that give you a chance to shock a player back to life..'Clear! ZZZT! clear!'
