World of Warcraft: Near Giving Up

It is now day seven into my World of Warcraft 10 day free trial period. I mentioned in an earlier post that someone somewhere didn’t want me to play World of Warcraft. I have reason to believe it is divine intervention.

World of Warcraft: Patches & Disasters!

The huge 692mb World of Warcraft patch finally completed downloading and patching. I was ecstatic when I saw the in-game splash screen. It was like a long lost buddy that I hadn’t seen in years! Alas, my date with World of Warcraft would be delayed yet again by patches (and other disasters)!

- World of Warcraft -

Or at least that’s what I thought. After 4 days and nights, the download of the 3.16gb World of Warcraft installer was finally complete! I fidgeted as I waited for the installation bar to reach 100%.

I’ve read the descriptions and reviews, followed its development over the years, and kept updated on the latest news. Basically, I’ve done everything short of actually playing the game!

Topless Superman - Faizal Tahir

Was watching 8TV’s Quickie and saw a clip of Faizal Tahir, runner up of Malaysia’s One In A Million singing talent show, apologising for going topless during a live performance on stage at the 4th birthday party concert of TV station 8TV. Curious as to what it was about, I did some creative google searching and turned up an article describing the incident.
