Chat
Does anyone IM anymore? AIM, Yahoo, whatever? Or has most of it moved onto the cell phones?

I actually enjoyed the sequence leading into the final bunch of bosses -- the ending itself was whatever. Of course now there's all the sidequest stuff ( Read more... ) -
Well, this sucks
Though of course I knew it was coming, I didn't expect Wheel of Time author Robert Jordan to pass away so soon. I definitely feel a loss. And now we must wonder what will become of the final volume... -
Drunk in class
