I read blogs for a living

And I think I like it

Who am I kidding?

,

world of warcraft the burning crusade

Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered lives. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore new lands and broken through the Dark Portal to investigate the realms beyond the known world. Will these heroes find friends or foes? What dangers and rewards lie in wait beyond the Dark Portal? And what will they do when they discover that the demons they thought vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade?

I promised myself not to buy the long awaited expansion set to World of Warcraft because I easily get addicted to MMORPGs. I failed. Farewell social life. Hello again Azeroth!

Thank you developers!I played WoW, I became a terrorist (story!)

I have the cd's, and 10 day trial, but I'm not going to try it, just because I might get addicted p

AH! Anton said you were feeling sick, but i had my suspicions! man, can you imagine the destruction to society if they made expansion packs to addictive substances like cocaine? oh wait, they did (crack), and it nearly destroyed the US... oh well. listen, Espen, if you can hear me, we all love and care about you, please take your time to level 70. and if you are under the weather, then by all means enjoy getting better with your new Crusade. i am a little jealous.

I hear you!

I've actually been so sick (fever!) that I've not had the energy to play (at all). I installed the game when I got it, but I've not upgraded my account ... yet.

I'm nearly recovered, but there are more important things that needs my attention before I can start playing The Burning Crusade sad

btw your feed has no title, so your blog hasn't either?

Made some experiments with the CSS and it did not look good with a blog title (need to find a way to hide it). Thanks for pointing it out however. Forgot about that doh

I read just the other day that they started a rehab program for online gaming addicts at some hospital in the Oslo area. Three WoW addicts are currently undergoing treatment there. This is no joke by the way. I hope they have room for you, Espen. smile

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO Tuesday, February 6, 2007 1:14:54 PM

I'm sort of cured. Everyone in here need to relax. Making me sound like a junkie! I'm fine!

I was watching a documentary about 'online worlds' or something on TV last night. Some people are SOOOO addicted to WarCraft and other online games. In some countries, parents take their children to councellors! And, there are even some children, who, instead of learning to play a sport, go to 'gamers school'!! And I thought I was addicted to the internet!

From the documentary, I also learnt that you can die if you sit for 84 hours straight.
