This is rather amazing, I didn’t actually realize I was featured there until now, but anyway, here it is:

Over at WoWBlues, however, Nairuil has a different way of getting started. She has a list of questions for you to answer that are designed to help you think of your character’s background, as well as give you some helpful tips for what sorts of backgrounds would be inappropriate for WoW (such as the cliche “vampire” idea), all before you actually get started roleplaying in game.

Nairuil? Wait a second, that’s me! Never thought that guide was that good. Amazing. Might as well make it a proper multi-page guide. Who knows.

Forums! They make you evil!

The idea is, in an email, I can be mean to somebody, but I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone but that person. Fine, go yell at them, what do you do? They’ll get a little mad. You can make really silly points, what would they do? They’ll get a little mad.

On a forum, however, you don’t just talk to that person, no, if you start being a little hostile towards them, they’ll immediately try to (a) prove you wrong and (b) prove everyone else on the forum that they’re not wussies causing you to bash them even harder, and vice versa, and the cycle goes on and on.

I figured, the only points you can make on a forum are simply those that get you just about… nowhere. Disagreements over very minor things tend to end up as huge pointless debates resorting to “yo momma” and trying to find pages on Wikipedia to prove everyone wrong or just finding grammatical errors, as if that magically makes them wrong.

I’m sick of forums, sorry. It divides us, it makes us want to kill each other and it exposes everyone’s stupidity (including your own by even trying to read that stuff).

Sorry, I quit.

Edit: He has a placeholder blog for now.

I was thinking to myself (in rhyme of course, the way I usually talk to myself) yesterday, and devised a simple plan to serve as something to expand my musical horizons and serve the Blogosphere (in which Richard M. Stallman hovers above the earth) some proper record reviews.

I’m sitting here in the lounge, trying to write a blog post. People come, see me listening to something and “concentrated” on doing something with my laptop and decide to just turn back and leave. By saying that I just unconsciously denied the possibility that they just don’t like me, which could very well be it.

All of a sudden I realize me mom seemed to have added me on Facebook. I’m not kidding, she actually opened a Facebook account.

It’s funny, she asked me during dinner two days ago what Facebook is exactly, to which I replied “a networking site.” Explaining what a networking site actually is is no easy task for someone above the Internet “proficiency” of a guru. “What’s the point?” - I really couldn’t answer, I just didn’t know how to tell her that it sort of… doesn’t have on one many levels, and still probably has one.

Maybe I’m underestimating her will to get into this whole thing. Who knows, maybe the next step would be to start posting things on del.icio.us or declaring war on my guild in World of Warcraft.

… Like I was starting to say before my mom jumped in. I’ll exchange a record with Moruku (who is currently blogless due to some issues) every two weeks, I’ll give him one, he’ll give me one, at which point we’ll have to write a review and give it a certain score based on a set of criteria.

It’s being developed as we speak, in my mind for the most part. It’s all coming together now, and I expect to exchange the first record between Friday and Sunday.
