I’ve been gaming since around the age of five, and up until last November I thought I had achieved some of the most rewarding and inspiring moments of my gaming life: catching ‘em all the first time, vanquishing Ganon for the first time, the list goes on. But something happened over the course of 48 hours from November 19 to November 21 that easily put all of those achievements to shame and replaced the pride of succeeding and accomplishment with the pride of our medium and community making a difference.

It’s the holiday season again, and some people are struggling to find the perfect gifts. Well, if you have a gamer on your list, maybe I can help you out! Check out this great holiday list!
It was only a matter of time before we’d hear about the Collector’s Edition for the latest World of Warcraft expansion pack. Now maybe we’re closer to hearing a release date.
On August 12, Soul Master went live with its open beta and it is amazing! It’s an MMORTS that stays true to its genre and actually delivers what gamers have expected from the genre for so long.
Right now at the GameStop website, there are some fantastic deals going on, known as a Power Saver Sale, and let me tell you…it’s massive. In all of my years working for GameStop (2001-2005), I never saw a sale this big, so if you can, I highly suggest you take advantage of it.
Some of you might remember my post from 6 days ago about the kid freaking out that his Mom cancelled his World of Warcraft account. Apparently it wasn’t, but that just means we are given the opportunity to laugh some more at this sad kid and his addiction to WoW.
This morning I get up, get on AIM, and Chris sends me a link to this wonderful gem on Youtube….
I will say that my favorite line was where he yells at some guy on how he was going to find him, kill him, and then eat his first born child. Dude needs some serious help, but I hope this isn’t the last we see of his freak outs. They are just too golden!
btw, here is a link to wafflepwn’s (the brother who records all of the antics) Youtube channel. If you have an account, I highly suggest you subscribe like I just did because I have a feeling there will be more legendary moments to come.
Normally I don’t look at links that are posted on Twitter, but when I saw a recent post from Ashton Kutcher about a kid having a love for World of Warcraft… my curiosity was intrigued. At first I thought that it was going to be just another video of some poor kid sitting in front of his computer, getting his jollies off to a female WoW character. What I got was far better than I could’ve ever imagined.
The video starts off where a younger brother is speaking into a camera, telling the viewer that his mother just cancelled his older brothers WoW subscription. Before the other brother can go into his bedroom, the kid leaves the camera on a piece of furniture so that his fit can be recorded… and what a fit it was.
Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
