The more I learn about aurin, the more I really do not understand them. So much energy and emotion and excitement...it's exhausting! (This may be why my stable of mordesh keep exponentially multiplying instead.)

Like a volcano blowing out colorful flower petals. When they are confused and laughing is when I strike them down with a clown shaped plume of deadly gas. Cooldown: Can be used for mass murder every 20 years.

We should! I always seem to be the lone mordesh at events, and it's a little lonesome.

Yeah, we pay for 20 down with "the possibility of 30 at non-peak times". It's more like 12-15 down with constant disconnect and packet loss, the past month or two. And we're metro area. If only Google Fiber was in the area. (Though, at the same time, they're taking over the world, so...)

Guess I'll demand a tech come look inside and outside the apartment before switching, but not holding my breath. In WildStar related business, who do you think they'll get for next week's Nexus Report? I'd really like some updates on Guilds and Guild Features, personally.

Honestly, I'd like that superlong QA session on the megaservers because that means we'd have megaservers dropping in. Drop 3 can't come soon enough. So many delicious improvements.

Just start charging for your hugs like Rocio. Olivar would already owe you a fortune. ;)

You know, if Time Warner upgraded my area and gave me the speed, I'd have no complaints. I think it's gone down maybe twice for a half hour each in the five or six months we've been living there, which is tolerable. But my God, the speed we lack is so terrible...

Speaking of which, occasionally I think about how lucky Blizzard got with their release timing with WoW.

I have 30 mbps service with a local cable company, and I have no complaints. I love it, and it's relatively cheap. I think part of the reason it's so good is that there are two local cable companies with relatively small service areas (compared to big companies like Verizon or Comcast) that are constantly competing with each other. They have less maintenance to deal with simply because of the smaller service area, and more incentive to keep up to date, because otherwise they'll be out of business in no time.

I played games like "try to climb as high as I can in that tree without falling" or... Um... "Make a lightsabre out of an old wrapping paper roll and duct tape." Neighbour finally got an Atari. By neighbour, I mean the kid that was a mile or two away, and I could hike through the woods and through one of the other neighbour's field to get there. We got an Intellivision. It was pretty neat, but I still played outside in the woods a lot. -T.

Ah, intellivision...I still remember playing 'B-17 Boooooommmmmeeerrrrr.' on my friends. (People who had that game will understand that joke) Friends had Atari's, Intillivisions, and one friend had an Odyssey. Us, we had an Apple ][+ and C=64. :)
