Someone commented that the most flattering review of Guild Wars 2 so far is the empty hole it left in my blog. In order to make some halfhearted pretense of effort before alt-tabbing back to the game, allow me to hit you with a bunch of stuff that you need to know. Also there will be screenshots of Guild Wars 2 landscaping porn, because screenshots are more interesting than bullet-points. <\/p>\n

Yes, Spoiler Warning was a no-show last week. I did notice. On an unrelated note: I have discovered the secret to knowing when Josh is lying. You have to listen carefully, but if you hear the words, “I’m going to finish the second part of the 8 by Zombies episode this week” then you friend have been told a whopper, an untruth, or perhaps even a fib. <\/p>\n

Mumbles has left Spoiler Warning. According to Mumbles, “I lost my voice for commentary on the show.” We parted amicably. So now you’ll have no way whatsoever to get any more Mumbles content. Well, unless you read her blog<\/a>. Or the gaming blog<\/a> she’s on. Or on Twitter<\/a>. Or play Guild Wars 2 with us.<\/p>\n

If you’re playing Guild Wars 2 with our guild<\/a>: Yes, we need a voice server. A few people in the group have the address for the Spoiler Warning vent server. Up until now the thing has been friends-only, and the user limit is capped at 10. If we made the address public it would fill up instantly. Also, instead of being a private hangout for friends it would become a public place, with all the problems and obligations that entails. We’d need moderators and different rooms and password security so random idiots can’t crash Spoiler Warning while we’re recording.<\/p>\n

So, I’m thinking about it. For those of you with access, please don’t spread it around until I fix this. For those without, please bear with us.<\/p>\n

IMMA UNCLE NOW! My youngest brother, who got married a year ago<\/a>, has become a father. The new person has been named Dax Perseus, and I approve. You can do your kid no greater favor than giving them a rare or unique name. I’d been hoping the little guy would be born on my birthday, but being born on my blog’s birthday is pretty cool too. <\/p>\n

For those of you Labor Day-ing: Hope you enjoy the long weekend. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
