Another Gamer Line
Yup, there was another one of those long, around-the-building lines cloned at electronics stores throughout the US this week. This time not for a console, but for a single game! The mucho long awaited expansion to the increasingly popular World of Warcraft, titled “The Burning Crusade”.
I didn’t partake in this line. But my wife and I did pick up the expansion a day after it released. So what does that mean, we’re not hard-core, but we’re still geeky? Probably.
So far I’m really enjoying the expansion. I had gotten tired of WoW many months ago and pretty much gave up on it, so this surge of new content is very welcome and I’m having a lot of fun exploring it. Trouble is, I still need to unpack. I had to search for my scanner, the power adapter, and a pencil before I could do my cartoon last night. 
Well, happy Friday! Hope it treats you well!

Go Blood Elf Pally! I was lucky that a 5-7″ snow storm stopped all of Portland, so I walked to the mall (10 blocks) and only one employee was in the store, and about a handfull of customers. All there to buy the The Burning Crusade. Needless to say, it went fast. (except the hike through the cold and heavy falling snow.) That counts as my daily Exercising right?

If it were me, I’d count it as my daily exercising!!
5-7″! That’s pretty major over there in western Oregon. Those Oregonians aren’t used to seeing water in any form but liquid. It makes them nervous. I remember how they used to close all the schools in Albany when it snowed an inch. Then I moved to Ontario and it would snow 5″ and I’d get laughed at when I asked why school wasn’t cancelled.
Glad you picked up the expansion easily, Chris! We had an easy time ourselves. Target had plenty. So I dunno what the lines are all about, but I’ve seen them on the net. Crazy, crazy stuff. I thought it was pretty funny, too, how all the people I saw interviewed in line were very intelligent adults. These are NOT the same people I see chatting in the general channel all the time.
