Reactivating and Server Transfer

Well, under much pressure from friends, I might reactivate my Warcraft account.  With Pandaria coming out real soon and active friends on other servers, I might have to activate and move at least one character to that server. He has an abundance of gold and is willing to help me get someone to 85 at last. Now I just need to decide what class to move. It will be a healer for sure, but which one =/

Glitch to the rescue!

I've been playing Glitch for a few days now. It's fun, in a really really, casual sort of way. Considering you can learn skills without ever even logging in to the game!

Give it a shot at Glitch.com.

Video Game Free Speech Ruling Aftermath

Video Game Free Speech Ruling Aftermath: "On Monday we discussed the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that a California law banning the sale or rental of violent video games to minors was in violation of the First Amendment's free speech protection. By now, both sides of the debate have had a chance to respond to the Court's ruling. Congressman Joe Baca and CA State Senator Leland Yee pledged to continue the fight for stricter controls on the distribution of violent games, while others cried, 'think of the children.' Game industry groups were unsurprisingly pleased with the decision, but warned that this won't be the end of it, and asked lawmakers to stop wasting time with such legislation in the future. An article at the NY Times points out how the ruling highlights the lack of clear evidence supporting either side of the debate, and Time notes the Supreme Court's double standard, asking, 'Why does the court treat violent images and sexual images so differently?' Finally, an editorial at Gamasutra reminds us that even though most game developers are breathing a sigh of relief, many would like to see the industry shift toward something more creative and meaningful than violence.
