Movie Plot Terrorist Threat #6666: Twitter!

The terrorists were all over World of Warcraft, now they’re all over Twitter, according to this Wired article:

Good Old Games, Beta now Public

Just a short note … remember that post about Good Old Games that I made recently, when I said something along the lines of “hihi, you can’t get in”?
Well, the beta is public now. And they added some more games. So go ahead and knock yourself out with awesome old school gaming bliss!
Also on Joystiq.

Sarah Palin, the Accessorizer

The mixes I made so far (you can order them as well, or expand upon them, by entering their codes here – unfortunately, there’s no way to link directly to a mix [...]

Warhammer Online – I Gave In

Be prepared for some Warhammer Online posts here in the next couple months – although I will try to restrain myself and not play too much, nor post too much. Or quit playing altogether, as I did with WoW when I started the second time over and realized I couldn’t at the same time play [...]
