You know those moments when you completely lose it online – when your hands are typing away at a furious pace to beat your accuser/abuser to the punch line. When you wish you could physically reach through your computer screen and strangle the person on the other side. Yes, it’s those lovely moments in gaming that I talk about today. Here’s an excerpt: Being a gamer can be loads of fun. But there are some in-between moments that can really get under your skin. You know the times I’m talking about – gaming moments where your calm, patience and normal sensibilities abandon you, and in a flash you’ve turned into…

I’ve been recently getting back into WoW after a long hiatus which I talk about in a previous post. Since diving back into Azeroth, I’ve come across a few things that have made me scratch my head and go ‘WTF?!’ several times.

What incites you to defend your console of choice? Does this make you a fanboy (or girl?) I discuss the finer points of what it is to be a fanboy over at GC dot com. Here’s an excerpt: After discussing why gamers/consumers choose particular platforms over others yesterday (and the responses were great – keep them coming!), it was revealed that there are alot of reasons why some gamers choose to devote themselves to one particular platform over another.
