Firstly, Happy New Year! I hope you had a good holiday season. I have been playing SWTOR, after something of a struggle to get my videocard drivers to stay installed correctly. Warcraft is also installed, but it feels like I’m still a tad burned out with that game. The next target to download is Rift, and then LOTRO to complete my MMO stable.

If you would like to add to this discussion, please comment to the new apology post. I had a fantastic time at Blizzcon. I love the company and the games it puts out.
