Living a Virtual Life


In the physical world we vainly scrounge for glory. Bin Laden still taunts us, the bus doors close before we reach them and leave us standing in the rain. But in the fantasy realm of Azeroth, the virtual geography of World of Warcraft, the physical pain comes only from hitting a keyboard too hard, camaraderie is the norm and heroism is never far away. In simple terms, Warcraft is the most advanced and popular entry in a genre called Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, or MMO.


This probably sums up what World of Warcraft is all about. I mean, before World of Warcraft, I've been blogging about three posts a day, now it's barely three a month. More often than not, I'm a dwarf hunter in Aman'Thul slaying beasts...

Oh and there is still no World of Warcraft Philippines...
