I hope your pet is at least named something cool like RaidWiper. My daughter is almost two. She mostly just comes up and tries to turn off my laptop when I play. She's a stinker like that.

My daughter is almost two. She mostly just comes up and tries to turn off my laptop when I play. She’s a stinker like that.

And my daughter is only 8 so she just wanders around and grinds and ignores everyone in the game unless her uncle is playing with her. Most of the leveling she does is when I play her character and walk her thru the quests. Hunters FTW! :) I’m no fan of vide games being made into a movie either.

I play WoW with my husband, sometimes joined by my brother and my husband's brother. It's really not much different from having any sort of online hobby. Some people blog, some people spend all day arguing ridiculously boring stuff on message boards, some people frequent chatrooms. I like to run around as a Russian space goat and melt people's faces. I wish my daughter were old enough to play, I'd make her level up my characters for me. BTW, anyone else wish they would halt the plans for a 2009 World of Warcraft movie, like, now? Ugh.

Turns out my intel was faulty. It was the best I had at the time, and I took the appropriate action by seeing the movie, but now I knew differently. To make up for it, the only option I had was to keep seeing more Iraq movies." I loved the irony when you said, “It was disappointing because I’d had several people tell me the film was great.

When used as an insult, is it better to be an a-hole than an f-hole? What about a+hole? So there are different grades for holes? When used as an insult, is it better to be an a-hole than an f-hole?
