mtv.com – News – When The Other Woman’s An Xbox: Gaming Gripes Go Online — interventions and other treatments for the gaming addicted, plus support for those left behind. Gee. If you enjoy a time-consuming hobby, you might want to pick a mate that shares the same hobby. Unless you’ve chosen an enabler, then JACKPOT! That’s everything you’ve wanted!
I sure hope Blizzard isn’t trying to imply that this is somehow a gift to me, longtime subscriber:
Dear World of Warcraft Subscriber,
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since World of Warcraft first opened to adventurers. As a thank you for your loyalty, we’d like to present you with 3 special coupons that you can use to purchase gift copies of World of Warcraft for only $19.99 after rebate. Just click on the link below to print your rebate coupons, purchase a World of Warcraft retail box at your favorite retailer, and mail back the completed rebate forms, along with your original receipt. It’s that simple.
That’s not a thank you. Free is a gift. Free is a thank you.
$19.99 is a pitch.
Pally buffs, increased from five minutes (What the hell can you do in five minutes? Not much.) to fifteen, castable BY CLASS over the whole raid. KINGS FOR EVERYONE!!
Can Blizzard choirboy Eyonix get an amen?
… We’re also adding raid versions for five of the Paladin’s blessings. These new raid version blessings will last for fifteen minutes, and allow the Paladin the means to buff every player of a given class in the raid by selecting only one. These blessings will be available at your class trainer and the only prerequisite is the final rank (talent point where applicable) of the Blessing.
Blessing of Sanctuary
Blessing of Kings
Blessing of Might
Blessing of Wisdom
Blessing of Salvation
And all the paladins go doo do doo do doo do do doo …
