In WoW you decide you want the super cool Tier 10 armor. You need five separate pieces. To get the full set, you need more than 400 Frost Emblems, which are earned a couple at a time, from certain enemies. Then you need to upgrade each piece of armor with Marks of Sanctification. Then again with Heroic Marks of Sanctification. To get all that you must re-run repetitive missions and sit, clicking your mouse, for days and days and days. Boobies be damned.

SF Pillowfight 2010

Okay, so this is like two or three weeks late, but whatever.

People of all ages were at this thing. Granted, mostly folks in the teens up to my age bracket, but there sure were some older folks too.

There is no way to explain the madness of 3,000 people with pillows.

Feathers. Lots of them. Smart people wore masks of some kind.

Unicycle. Pillowfighter. That is all.

A touching moment amidst the chaos.

Basic walkthrough:

Tunnel of Death

So, this tunnel was a spontaneous feature of the geography here, but awesomely fun to watch. If I hadn’t feared for my camera, I would’ve run through as well. Still, all good fun.

Hope y’all enjoyed! Hopefully I’ll have faster turnaround on the next event. :)

Disneyland Weekend

Disneyland 2010

Friends and I at the gates

Friends next to Big Thunder Mountain. I got Four Square’s “Photogenic” badge in LA for checking in at multiple locations with photo booths.

Indiana

I took pictures with cast members from a lot of different rides. They were awesome, and generally obliging. Universally great costumes!

Statue

This view makes me smile no matter how many times I see it.

Fireworks

The fireworks show was awesome - and unlike last time, I was in a pretty good position for it and had my camera at the ready.

Unlocked a bunch of FourSquare badges, including “I’m on a boat!

PCG: What I think a lot of us would really like is a firm commitment that you understand our worries that the servers are going to go down and suddenly we’ve just got some trash data on our hard drives that we’ve paid for.



Ubisoft: The system is made by guys who love PC games. They play PC games, they are your friends.



PCG: So you can commit to saying that those systems will be patched out?



Ubisoft: That’s the plan. 



PCG: It’s the plan, or it’s definitely going to happen?



Ubisoft: That’s written into the goal of the overall plan of the thing. But we don’t plan on shutting down the servers, we really don’t.”

Pirate all your Ubisoft games from now on.
