It seems all the cool kids are playing World of Warcraft these days, including half the people on my floor, and I've been trying to find a copy to no avail.
Big Joe to the rescue! No, that's not his porn name (bam chika-wam chika-wam) but my nickname for my buddy Joe, who I haven't seen since he moved back to Alabama years ago. He really was a big fella, although probably less now since his gastric bypass op. Anyway, Big Joe shoots me some e-mail telling me about Anarchy Online's deal where anyone can play for a year, for free.
That was back in late December, and here I am now with a Level 18 soldier on AO's main server. Kick ass. The graphics look a little dated, but not too bad. It even runs on my laptop. It works through the corporate firewall. (Is that good or bad? Or very bad?)
Mark finished Metal Gear Solid 2 and forced his copy on me, demanding I play it. According to him, the game is about "cock," and I don't think he means the chicken kind. I know from reading reviews that after the first level, you switch from playing Solid Snake (already a phallic symbol in the name there) to Raiden, an anime archtype (teen with spiky white hair), but apparently he wears this tight leather jumpsuit and due to the 3rd person camera his family jewels are thrust in your face for the rest of the game.
