Ten million gamers can be wrong. How World of Warcraft has turned the nerd into the bully.


Do you know what I love about this story, other than the fact that it's edgy and gives another perspective (which by the way is fantasti) of the phenomenon that is World of Warcraft? That this perspective is written by a fiesty beautiful brilliant redhead who perhaps in a trivia off could pan out to be a bigger geek than I am. Which is crazy impressive, clearly. That being said, here is Liana K's article for Gaming Excellence on how she's not Wowed.

Aw, Christie, you'll always be our favorite feisty, beautiful, brilliant, redhead geek queen of the internets. She might have a slave bikini, but I'm holding out for some long-awaited Scarlett pics!

Interesting article, and one of the many reason I won't play WoW, despite being offered money to play. I've always been an angry little jerk; that why I play games BY MY SELF. That's why lonely gamers are lonely gamers in the first place. If I wanted friends to play with me I'd run a 3rd Edition Vampire: The Masquerade campaign and offer free munchies. I'd be up to my eyeballs in losers like myself. But I don't. I spend all my time reading alone, gaming alone, interneting alone, and making 90% of my interaction with the outside world through e-mails and MySpace.


Still, I've always hoped MMORPGs could be better than they are. "Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man."

I wonder if I'll cave and play the Marvel MMO?


And I've never met any nice girls who like slash.

P.S. I'm glad you're not dead.

About the Blogger
Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
