Wow

No, not that WoW. I could never hope to have that many subscribers...

Bad jokes aside, I would like to say one huge thank you to Darren and the folks over on the Shut Up. We're Talking. podcast for mentioning my blog along with Tranquil Abyss in their Blog of the Week section.

I usually check Virgin Worlds once or twice a day to see if any new shows have been put up and was really excited to see a new SUWT. What I was totally unprepared for was to see my blog in the show notes! So, thanks Darren and Karen, you just made a noob blogger's day!

To be honest, it was always a hope in the back of my mind that one day I might get mentioned in one of my favorite podcasts; though, surely, never a goal of this writing experiment.

I am, however, sure of one thing: I am now going to have to exercise at least SOME quality control in order to call this a respectful blog. :)

We shall see where this takes us and I am glad to have as many people as possible along for the ride.

Again, thank you!

Caution: Devastator's Balls

For those that care, this blog is still deeply under construction.

So, tonight I just thought I would do a short post on what I'm playing/listening to.

Games:

• WoW Peggle - Only during podcast listening, don't worry.
  
• Guild Wars - I've been trying to get a friend of mine to play with me on odd nights, so I've just been popping in and out. Hopefully this time I can stick with it, the first time it didn't rub me so well.
• New Super Mario Bros. - After watching the Mario Marathon a couple weekends ago I got a huge itch to play some jumping plumber games.
• *I'm on the verge of giving Free Realms another shot. I think I should rotate all the unpaid professions; I got frustrated with mining pretty quickly.

Podcasts:

• Pretty much all of Virgin Worlds
• The perennial Shut Up. We're Talking.
• The extremely entertaining Van Hemlock
• The informative Massively Speaking
• The rare but delightful How I WoW
• The apocalyptic Through the Aftermath
• The obvious WoW Insider Show
• The Star Wars hype machine The Holocron
• Finally, ever since Epic Dolls went the way of the dodo I've picked up on the Turkey's other podcast Spouse Aggro. It is very quickly becoming a new favorite, due in most part to Beau Turkey being an awesomely entertaining commentator!
• *Also, I would give both my pinky toes to have The Online Gamer's Anthology come back. Please Jonathan, come back to doing what you do best: reminiscing!

So that is it. Please check back soon!
