all-in-one post, because i can. well, to be honest\u2026there\u2019s only three bullet points in this post.<\/p>\n

the first point\u2026i hadn\u2019t mentioned this earlier, but i\u2019d actually quit world of warcraft<\/i>, didja know? i\u2019d quit four months ago, but my subscription didn\u2019t actually end til august 20th. now that august 20th is past, my quitting of is official! which was a long-time coming. nothing against world of warcraft<\/i>, but i\u2019d played it for 6 years. and the game mechanics grew old a long time ago. i didn\u2019t notice\u2026or didn\u2019t care to notice, until one night in a raid i came to the cathartic and sad realization that i spent more time staring at the action bars than i did at the actual action happening on screen. from then on i just decided to quit. to be honest, my life didn\u2019t change drastically. i think i\u2019d always been pretty good about not letting my mmo gaming life adversely affect my social life. so no longer having the mmo time sink bore little influence on my day to day (except now having even more free time). i played other games during my free time now\u2026including torchlight<\/i>, dragon age 2<\/i>, mass effect 2<\/i>, and the current flavor\u2026deus ex human revolution<\/i>. the game is seriously boss (the second point). damn the game is gorgeous. i\u2019m already in my second go-thru\u2026already finding numerous things i missed completely the first time around.<\/p>\n

if you haven\u2019t played the game, the above image is of heng sha, one of the cities featured in the game. it\u2019s essentially shanghai on steroids.<\/p>\n

speaking of august 20th, the third point is that i actually did something for my birthday this year. and when i say something, i mean the same as i did for my 30th and 31st (but not last year\u2026i was feeling anti-social). sake and food at en<\/i>\u2026word.<\/p>\n\n\n
