A while back I posted that Japanese Pop Star Utada Hikaru is an avid Tetris fan. 30 lucky fans won the chance to compete against the J-Pop singer - she also played against some of the top players out there! Check out the Hikki Tetris action.
Video for Matthew Sweet’s tune Girlfriend has footage from an old school anime “Space Adventure Cobra.” I just wish they hasn’t felt the need to composite his mug into the video.
Crazy story about a World of Warcraft player who lost his iPod down a plane toilet, and ended up being interrogated for terrorism. Story confirmed by passenger on plane.
They asked me why I was visiting Canada. I was to visit a friend I met on World of Warcraft, Cara. They took down her name and what I could remember of her address. They asked me how we met.
“In an online game.”
“What online game?”
“Umm … World of Warcraft,” I responded meekly.
“What kind of game is this?”
“It’s a fantasy game … it takes place online.”
“Fantasy … like it’s got wizards and warlocks?”
“Well, it’s got warlocks.” (And they need to be nerfed.)
They asked me to describe my relation to Cara. I told them that people meet up in the game and go on adventures together, and that Cara and I were in a guild together that I was the leader of. They confused the concept of a guild with the game, however, and I had them believing that I was the Lord and Leader of all of WoW until I was able to correct them, and explain to them what a guild was.
