Just remembered this from the old Gamespot days:

  I know that many who will read this will not be entirely familar with my gaming background over the past year or so. About a month or two ago, I quit World of Warcraft, which had been the only gaming experience I was having for the past three years. Needless to say, it's a very social game, and the leaving all of my friends and guildmates was a tough decision in the end. 

  I've written my first guide on Giantbomb. It primarily focuses on how to get all of the Star Trek D-A-C achievements in a very short amount of the time, because let's face it: We all like points. Right?

  So, I have all these games and that's something I haven't been able to say for a while. I have a stack of stuff I want to play, but I'm really having a TON of difficulty picking what to play. So as a result, I'm polling the Giantbomb aduience. Here are your choices:

  If you've been reading my blog posts in the past week, you probably know that I have recently quit WoW to persue a much more well rounded gaming "career".   As of a result of playing WoW for so long and not really caring about the two game consoles sitting beside my television collecting dust, I found something extremely disturbing. All of my games, excluding a few ones that aren't even worth mentioning, were gone. Call of Duty 4, Rock Band 2, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, all games that I have bought in the past three years that I haven't once spent more than a couple hours with at maximum. This also includes a little game called Halo 3. I've been so caught up in World of Warcraft that I didn't notice that my friends were picking apart my game collection like vultures for so long. I suppose I can be blamed for this, but I do have a friend (who held the majority of these games for a long period of time) who doesn't really look after petty things like 60 dollar disks very well. When I got CoD back, I poped it in this afternoon and noticed that on the third mission of the single player campaign, the disk became unreadable by my xbox. After cleaning it with the famous toothpaste technique, I have yet to put it in. But even after I got this big stack of games back from him, I was still missing one in which I wanted to try and get the full gamerscore out of. Halo 3. Eventually after tearing my room apart, I found it stuck between two of my little sister's school binders as she was the last to play it. It's a little banged up, but not as bad so I hope it works flawlessly. 

  I may only be like ten jiggies in, but my god is this game frusterating at times. Yeah, it's fun, but some of these challenging aren't even hard, they're just plain out frusterating and random. I don't know if that's a fair assessment of the entire game, but I'll check back later.

  I have returned! A lot of the people I have on my contact list probably won't remember me but I spent a ton of time in the Giantbomb IRC channel when the site first launched and made a ton of edits over a span of three weeks and then magically dissapeared. The reason for that dissapearance is: WoW. But as of Thursday, I ended a very long, very time consuming part of my life and cancelled my World of Warcraft account in order to persue different kinds of gaming as well as different things in life that I've been missing out on in the six years that I have been playing MMORPGs (starting with Star Wars Galaxies). After writing up my goodbye post on my guild's forum, I shifted my efforts to console gaming, something I will be doing a lot more of.

  Guess I'm getting a few major upgrades for my PC on Thursday. Pretty excited for that. This computer is nearly six years old and I've strung it out with minimal upgrades for so long that I guess I have to do it now. It's going to be nice to be able to raid in World of Warcraft without the game looking like a slideshow.
