Okay, it’s my turn in the barrel for putting down 5 things. Some folks have given us nice, long, wonderful and insightful lists, such as Resto4Life and Kestrel.
Others have given us short, sweet and succinct lists with links to fun places, like Matticus, Exanimo, GirlMeetsWoW and of course the ones that started it all, Jon and Shelby from The Bronze Kettle. If I ever get some money, I’ll bid on one of your Charity icon auctions, guys. Honest. And anyone that ever links to John Gabriels‘ famous Theory gets a plate of virtual Big Bear brand cookies.
But Kestrel was nice enough to add me to his list of folks he wanted to see a list from, and so I have burnt irreplaceable brain cells towards this task.
- No matter how much you loved the movie or movies… for all that’s holy, PLEASE don’t buy thegame!. Not that one either!
- Except, of course, when… you know… you should.
- The number of people that play WoW that are insane asshats is terrifying, and can make you want to quit playing for fear of becoming just like them. And they’d love to know you quit because of them.
- The number of people that play WoW that are incredibly awesome is daunting, and can make you wonder if you’re smart enough, nice enough or skilled enough to hang out with them. But they welcome you, and encourage you to join in and have fun.
- There are at least two points of view to every discussion… and sometimes both are right. There are very few people that go into an argument convinced they are wrong, but remain determined to argue and ruin your day anyway. The ones that do, we call Trolls.
And now I get to share the seasons’ Joy, by tagging the following 5 worthy Bloggers for their responses:
- Temerity Jane, wearer of the Demonic Ponytail of DOOOOOMMMMM.
- Kirk at Priestly Endeavors was already tagged, which means that I get to pester a man that I tried to leave in peace, since he’s been swamped at work and in his new Guild Officer role. Sadly, it was not to be. Karthis, I choose you! (waves a Pokemon ball wildy at the screen).
- Okay, this is no longer funny. Now I see that Ego got tagged by Kestrel already too. Methinks that I should have remembered that, but there are lots of these posts out there at this point. So, I need to tag someone that writes stuff I love to read, is fun, and is likely not to have been tagged yet. Hmmm…. I know just the person! Beowulfa from Two and a Half Orcs! (No cheating from Dammerung, now!)
- Mooire at Ferocious Bite… always a pleasure to read.
- And finally… since somehow he got out of it… Big Red Kitty. Someone get this Airman a Soapbox! Stat!
Good list. I must say though, you win for mentioning the X-wing vs. TIE Fighter. If anyone from LucasArts is reading, can we please revisit these games? None of this Rogue Squadron crap, I want it old school just with fancier graphics.
Someone I know was incredibly thrilled that she was mentioned and will probably be posting her 5 soon.
Someone else I know from my mirror every morning sadly sits in the corner and doesn’t assist. ;P
/grin
Already posted the link to the Penny Arcade theory on “jerks”. When can I expect my cookies????
eep! I’ll have to ponder this…I’ll try to do it tomorrow, otherwise, it will be Thursday.
That person Temerity Jane is babbling idiot.
I happened on her blog and read it once.
How insecure can a person be?
And how can one write about such useless happenings in their lives?
Yes, of course, I didn’t have to read it. But the great thing about the internet is: anyone and everyone can use it – which is also a bad thing…
Always good to read your posts Windshadow but for the record Tie Fighter so owned Xwing Vs. Tie Fighter it wasn’t even funny :-P
i read #1 and had to comment before i even finished.. SRSLY! our 9 yr old is always wanting movie-turned-video games (shark tale, chicken little, incredibles, etc.).. and we buy them and then end up on the shelf, never used!
thanks for the linkage! you are teh awesome too.
@anony. way to hide behind an anonymous comment. now, go find a quiet corner and stfu.
@Anon:
To quote: “But the great thing about the internet is: anyone and everyone can use it – which is also a bad thing…”
I see you are determined to prove your own thesis. Bravo, asshat. Speaking of which, your proctologist called, and they did find your head.
I guess Anon is from the old school where women shouldnt have an opinion and just stay in teh kitchen to cook and clean. Sad someone is so afraid of women who can speak there mind and be so damn funny about it.
SO Anon whats it like to have no balls that you come to talk smack about people but have to hide cause your afraid someone might know who you are. MAN UP!
Interesting list, i shall have a peek n all some more later ;)
