We would like to apologize for Zarhym. He got overexcited and was hoping to will Thursday into being today. He has been reassured that it is only Monday however. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused for the calendar challenged that rely on our team to convey the proper calendar sequence to them.

We instead would like to assure people that Thursday will be coming soon...

Anyone have a spare flux capacitor? If you can give me one my Delorean time machine will be finished and I'll transport us all, one at a time to Thurday.*

I prefer to use to my time machine for only frivolous reasons, such as parlor tricks for impressing bored little girls, or getting sofas wedged in stairwells.


I hope you have the computer working on that.


Also, I can shoot Zarhym with a nerf gun from close range. Not that I've done it, but I could...

That one is fun at close range.


No, I don't. But I did just see that there is a new fully automatic 25 dart blaster that fires over 3 darts per second that I am considering setting up in my space to guard against sneak attacks.

Hrmm... is this an indirect and possibly unintentional announcement that Northrend and the WotLK key activation won't be accessible until 12.01am PDT?

I'm on the eastcoast so this caught my attention. ;-)

I didn't say that. And even if I did, it's not my fault you live in the future.

They are quite cozy actually and afford us the ability to talk to each other very easily.

Also, I like to listen to music (without using headphones), which can't be done in cubicles. Unless everyone likes the same genres of music...

I just play my music anyway and challenge Bornakk or Neth to complain.

No .. no I don't think it's rock. It's not even a recording actually. It's just him screaming and banging on things with pens he holds like drumsticks. I didn't want to out him though.

There's no better way to get one's hands accustomed to polyrhythms than to use the work desk as a platform for exploration.

As for the screaming... I just can't be contained by the ideals of a good work ethic. :p

We've seen Thursday, it's true. And it's going to be a great day!

Q u o t e:
They had footage of the offices they were showing on the Directv broadcast of Blizzcon. Even the top dawgs were sharing an office. It seemed a little strange to me, but then I decided it must be conducive to throwing around all kinds of random ideas that they probably do.


It really is good for the flow of ideas. It's also good for team building.

This post may be a little behind but I must clear the record...

My feet are immaculate. I wear only the cleanest socks. I just put on a beanie though and it smells like incense. Turns out that's what happens when you leave a beanie in a drawer with nag champa for a long time. This may throw people off in the office who would ordinarily assume I don't bathe in petuli.

What's it like playing real live WoW on a real server with other players? Surely they don't know you're one of the Blues? Do you and Crygil pass inside jokes in gchat and no one suspects you actually work for Blizzard? Or is it opposite and your whole guild knows and worships you?

O_O!

For the most part we keep it a secret. Guildies do know we work at the same place, though we're a little disingenuous about the line of work we're in.

US community managers are all stationed in California. If it makes you feel any better though, noting on your resume that you want to work here to bug Bornakk all day is a big plus. It doesn't even matter if you spell his name right.

Whatever happened to Drysc? Havent seen him post in a while and havent seen anything regarding where he went.

Some say "He decided his time had come and he set out to take his Long Walk and spread the law all over Cursed Earth."
Others say "Some kind of terror snatched him from our midst and plunged him into a troubled world, with Barbarians, Sorceresses and Witchdoctors."
All we know is, he doesn't hang out as much as he used to. He's always asking me to "Stay a while and listen" to his stories, but who has the time?
