The Crusade ... It Burns!
Annie called to tell me that I got a package from Blizzard today. It can only be one thing ... The Burning Crusade expansion for World of Warcraft.
I'm really not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, there's some cool new stuff in the expansion that I'm dying to try. On the other hand, I've had this monkey off my back for about a year now, and it's probably the only reason why my grades are decent and my wife hasn't left me. There was a time when I thought my office chair was growing out of my ass ... so firm was the grip Blizzard had on my cold, dark heart.
Of course, I had a great excuse to not get sucked in ... I didn't want to pay the monthly fee any more. Then my wife (having already committed a felony by opening my mail) proceeded to tell me that I can call Blizzard's PR rep and get a 90-day play code.
Those ... bastards. I wonder if I have to have the original installed, and if it'll run on Vista or not. I don't know that I even know where the original install discs are. I might just have an out. At least it wasn't the Collector's Edition they sent ... I might not have the willpower in such a case.

Don't do it! Diablo II was enough to destroy a man. I lost two years of my life (in total) to Diablo II. It started out innocently enough. Offline, DII was a solid game. Once I took the game online though, the virtual economy aspect of the game took hold of me. You know the drill. Real people, raising powerful characters who can accumulate virtual wealth that is so close to the real thing that people are willing to exchange it for American Dollars. But not that many dollars. You already know the damage WoW can do. Save your gaming time for real games that actually have endings so that you can disentangle yourself from them eventually!
