I've been playing Spore all week and I'll be the first to admit that it's plenty of fun and very adorable. The tutorials are very simple and integrated into each level making for a seamless transition between learning the mechanics of each section and playing them. While some people will claim that the lack of serious difficulty is a minus, I personally feel like it helps the game along. This game is about progression, not achievement. That can be a blurry line but that is part of what makes Spore interesting.

With that said I'd like to point out that we live in a world where a inter-species sex scene makes headlines. A world where the simple act of shooting someone in the virtual face and stealing their vehicle for kicks is something parents are warned against. A society where games like Dr. Aborto!, which has been leading sales on Mac, openly encourage teenage girls to get secret abortions.

Now why is it that we haven't gathered the courage to take down Will "The Blasphemer" Wright? How is he permitted to force our children and elderly people to play a game which clearly proves that evolution is better than Jesus Christ?! Not only does Spore support evolution, but in the tribal stage of the game there is music and dancing!

My fellow Dtoiders we are known across the internet as being the righteous and wise in the video game community. Join with me as we teach Will "burnin' in hell" Wright a lesson!

The BFG GeForce 8800GT OC's have dropped in price. I saw one when I was at Best Buy for $150 and couldn't resist. I had to upgrade my power supply though so I headed to Fry's and picked up a 500w for $40. My rig is very nice now.

Before the upgrade my bottleneck was my graphics card. I mean I have a Phenom Quad Core that's rated at 5.5ghz and 3GB of DDR3 RAM.

YKMG is a very happy man. Especially after running the Crysis test...



If you're looking to upgrade your graphics card now is the time to do it. You're not going to find a better card for a better price than this.

I was out in Hinterlands doing some quests, mainly trying to get a key off some troll mini-boss to open a cage and free some gryphon. I was level 49 doing my best to solo the level 50-53 mobs that are around there. I'm fighting a mob, I have it down to about 10% health while I'm at around 20% health. That's when two Horde players run up and gank me. Two guys named "Dopeboy" (a 53 Shaman) and my favorite... "Glowsword" (a 52 Paladin). Now not only do their names make me wonder if they are 13 years old, but the fact that they are level 52 and 53, ganking a level 49 character at 20% health also makes me question how laid back they are.

I make the LONG run back up to the top of the winding troll temple and rez. Upon rezing I hear the sound of fighting and peak around the corner and see an Alliance priest doing a quest. I stop and talk to her.

"Two horde just jumped me, be careful. I'm not sure where they went."

Just as I finish saying this Dopeboy and Glowsword come running out of a cave that I'm standing directly in front of. The thing is that they can't see me because I happen to be standing in front of a giant rock. I say "that's them" just as Dopeboy attacks the priest.

I charge Glowsword, who begins healing himself, so then I switch to Dopeboy who is still on the priest. Me and the priest finish off Dopeboy while I switch to the Paladin who then begins running. See we were in this pit sort of place with a bunch of giant steps that you can't run up. The only way out of the pit is to go to the very edge and climb a little hill. Glowsword didn't know this. Now because it's a Paladin it takes me about three minutes to kill him... he just kept running, trying to escape until finally I downed him.

The priest and I then headed into a cave together, killed some mobs at which point the priest tells me that they don't normally PvP. Now it's fifteen minutes later and we're walking out of the cave when Dopeboy and Glowsword jump us. They do the smart thing and take out the priest then kill me. That's when it happens....

I first see the emote of "Glowsword spits on you!"... then Glowsword begins teabagging my corpse. He's tea bagging my dead body. He wasn't just tea bagging me, but he was doing it in force. Like over and over again... letting me know he had won.

I began laughing. Laughing so hard that it woke up my son who was sleeping next to me on the couch. I mean he was teabagging me... I didn't know people still did that. I remember it playing Halo over LAN setup back in the day but what person thinks that tea bagging my virtual character is a sign of dominance or victory. Do they think I was sitting here yelling at my screen like "OH NO! YOU DID NOT JUST TEA BAG ME! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

I guess I just wonder if these are the people who are yelling "FOR THE HORDE!" the loudest. If so, I'll stick with Alliance.

I've grown tired of my Black Stallion mount and decided I wanted to get reputation with other factions in order to get their mounts. I had the highest honor with Ironforge so I went to the starting areas and did all the quests there. While I was out I killed a bear and as it died a level 9 character named Brusef ran up and began a discussion.

"What the hell" He said.

I replied with simply a "?"

His response was not so polite:

"What the fuck? I'm trying to do a fucking quest and dickheads like you are making it impossible."

Then he ran off. I'm not sure why I did it but I reported him. Maybe I was just tired of people being douche bags in the game or maybe it was the fact that if he had just asked to group with me I could have taken him through every quest until level 20 in about an hour.

About ten minutes later I get a private message from apparently one of Brusef's other characters.

It never fails. Sure, maybe I'm to blame for some of it. After all I'm the one who rolled a female character for my bank alt. I'm also the one who took off all her clothes and has her run around naked. In fact, I also seemingly encourage people when they try to hit on her. These things still don't change the fact that there are some people playing WoW who REALLY need some sort of sexual release. I give to you a screenshot from one of my auction house runs.

Tagged along for a little raid earlier today and recorded the whole thing. In the end I had two hours of recordings and it took my HD space down to 80mb. Enjoy it or don't, just sharing.
