For Lack of a Nail...: January 2006

About Me

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

I never know what to say about myself when it comes to these things, so I'll try to keep this short and sweet. My interests are many and varied, from Apple's Macs to Mike Mignola's Hellboy. I also have an eclectic taste in music, counting such artists as Breakin Benjamin, Kanye West, and Rachael Yamagata among my favorites. Playing video games is also a passion, with World of Warcraft currently monopolizing my time while I eagerly anticipate new entries in the Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid series.

A Voice in the Desert

I originally wrote this post in my 1up.com blog on November 14, 2005 after a long blogging hiatus.

Surprise, surprise! After months of not blogging, a brief entry from me. What kept me away? Three words: World of Warcrack. And no that is not a typo, I do mean it to say crack instead of craft. World of Warcraft has sucked me in unlike any other game apart from the final fantasy series, which is even more problematic because I am usually a completist by heart when it comes to RPGs.

My fixation on the fun that is WoW means I haven't had much time for any other game, even the ones that I've been looking forward to for sometime. Games like F.E.A.R., Civilization IV, and The Movies, while appealing, I just can't bring myself to get because i know that time spent away from WoW is time that I could use to level up my alts or get my last Dreadmist Raiment piece. Sigh. How do I even start to extricate myself from this mess? Or more importantly, do I want to?
