Curt Schilling Wants to Kill You

Maybe you read about the upcoming EverQuest II fundraiser for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. (Wikipedia and learn.) From the press release, each time a player battles and defeats Curt Schilling with his Curt Schilling lookalike NPC (kinda creepy) in game, Sony Online will donate $5 (maximum total of $10,000) to the ALS Association. The fundraiser will run from June 5th, 2006 through June 7th. This sounds like a great idea and very imaginative, but I’m thinking Curt might roll over on some of these battles — although, either way, it’s win/win for the ALS Association. Also, I’m wondering if Curt Schilling really uses the word “amongst” in conversation and if he ever lol’s in guild chat.

This is Dead Last on My List of Warcraft Priorities: More Players

Recruit A Friend

We don’t need more players in World of Warcraft. We need more hardware or different internet hook ’em up thingies or at least some new ideas.

We, for sure, don’t need more players who will level a warlock to 60, join a Blackwing Lair raid and then ask if they should soulstone a mage before the fight.

Ya. Soulstone a mage please. Because if the shit starts to hit the proverbial fan, I want to make sure I can get a portal OUT.

I used to wonder where we found some of our fine warlocks, but now I know: It must have been a past Recruit A Friend drive.

Mr. Wiggles’ Wild Ride

Mr. WigglesMr. Wiggles (seen here cowering inside a rock in Nefarian’s Lair), the noncombat pet pig reward from World of Warcraft’s recent Children’s Week event, has become my guild’s constant companion. All the cool kids have a pig.

Here’s a little secret you may not know about Mr. Wiggles: he can find grass to eat anywhere, even on a stone tile floor. One day, that’s going to be some Grade A finely-marbled organic pork.

If you have all the time in the world and want to collect the Warcraft non-combat pets (some of which are no longer available), there are several player-created guides available:

Warcraft Forums: Guide to Vanity Pets (Furl archive of thread)
Dianius’ Pets Guide, including screenshots (Furl archive)
TKA Something Zalla’s Collector’s Guide to Non-Com/Small Pets (Furl archive)

And lastly, Dark Legacy Comics’ Children’s Week and Pet Rewards comics
