I...

...I actually cannot express how... This story is so great I might marry it and father ten children with it.

Fucking sucks to be him.

[/schadenfreude]
In all honesty the whole thing is pretty fucking pathetic. Queuing up for ages for any game is but the fact that it was World of Warcraft just makes it so much more pathetic. I wish I had a bullet for each and every one of 'em.

So what.

People line up days for consoles.
Someone was in the line for an iPhone something like a week before it was released, with their kid no less.

This guy was there for what, 18 hours?

I assume they're ridiculously hard but will be nerfed in 2 months after the scrubs run out of welfare epics to suck for. I haven't played in a long time, I stopped after I got through all the raiding and the first expansion started shitting on everything.

Not to say I don't have my spite for the folks tolerating with this crap. Anything after BC's release sort of killed the high end of the game, kind of like how advanced classes are the first thing to go in school budget cuts. Sucks for them though, they're the ones passing out on the street. I'm content to my repetitive FPS's.

What gets to me is not the queuing, nor is it WoW....

It's the FACT THAT A FUCKING PRE-ORDER WILL GET YOU THE GAME ALMOST AS FAST.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

People that play on the Internet often forget that it exists. Amazon is always the best way to get a pre-order on something.

If you watch the video, don't you feel like you could replace every "World of Warcraft" and "it" with "heroin", and the video would still work?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

So..

With all of this talk of Heroin and WoW, the Google Ad at the bottom of the page was;

How I Lost 1Lb Per Day It Really wasn't that hard at all - no diet, no exercise! - Jessica

Hmm.. heroin and mmorpg games.  yep, those'll cause you to waste away to nothing, if properly applied.

Sometimes google adsense is just genius.
