I’m playing World of Warcraft again. I thought I had broken this rather nasty habit, until they released a ten day trial for the Burning Crusade, and I found that the two new starting areas are leagues ahead of the original ones. Also, with the high-level migration to the Outland my old server, Nordrassil, is near empty is some of the early zones, which makes it nice for soloing. So while my main awaits to see if Polly wants to quest once more, I’m levelling up a Blood Elf mage with floppy ears and bad taste in outfits.

This also means my Wii isn’t getting used much at present. Which is nice in a way, as it tides me over until Resident Evil 4 and the Wii Mario games get a European release.

We also spend an unusual weekend recently without internet, after BT bollocksed up my voice on Friday, my DSL on Saturday and then refused to fix anything until Monday. This makes them only slightly better than T-Mobile, who are trying to charge me for phones that were never sent, but I digress. It did mean that at long last, some five years post-release, I finished Warcraft III. This leaves me with a year to sort out The Frozen Throne before Starcraft II.

All in all, not a profitable few weeks…
