Well, hopefully everything is backed up or in like the recycle bin and not permanently deleted if Jason wants to survive to see old age!

Sure, sure, the folder is called “Top-Secret Game in Development” instead of “Action Pack Preview.”

We don’t have cable or DSL where I live. Thank goodness for satellite modem. But most on-line games are too fast for my poor little modem. A blessing in disguise, I think.

i was cured of role playing games back when Dungeons and Dragons first came on the scene. It was fun for a while, but just took up way too much time.

how do we get this emailed to us daily?

Likely backed up in another server location, as well as off-site repository too. Just like we do at work. I constantly have to shoo my cat away from my desktop.
As for WOW, I won’t play that or any other games now. I gave up on computer games after mastering DOOM and Quake in grad school. Realized it all to be a total waste of my time, and the main reason my grad school took me so long to complete.

Jason from all the plays on Icecrown, We’re coming for you!! :( Oh you can delete the stuff on the new mounts though if you want. Getting tired of them pming me in game.

Hey, maybe Quincy actually improved the game for us. I’m really tired of trying to hearth and then appearing 3 miles into the air above Faralas and falling to my demise.

Sptfyre: there are no dailies. Just reprints. It’s a Sunday only comic. Does anyone know if Yenny has Sunday prints?
This WOW snafu goes back to the time that Jason almost got ahold of the ultimate WOW weapon and some tech unplugged the server or something. I guess he can feel better now that karma is in balance.
