The End of Epic Television?

After having just finished catching up on the TV show Lost in it’s entirity, I started to wonder: Will we ever see TV shows of such epic proportions ever again? Over the past several years television is more and more dominated by reality and game shows, and reason is simple: They are cheap to produce and get very high ratings.

And back again…

So I haven’t posted in a while. This is due, in no small part, to my apparent addiction to World of Warcraft. It is funny how addiction works, and even funnier when it is related to a video game.

My recent bender regarding World of Warcraft started at the launch of the latest expansion, Wrath of the Lich King.

Some lyrics from a few songs I really like.

What is it about me?

What is it about me that makes people so drawn to me? My entire life I have never had a problem making friends, and people seem to just gravitate toward me in many ways.

An experiment in leadership.

I recently decided to undertake a unique challenge in leadership, a challege which most people will deem silly and pointless, to lead my own raiding guild in the game World of Warcraft. Before I get into the meat of this post, I recognize that WoW is just a game, and as such most people dismiss the fact that it has any real world value whatsoever. This I will agree with as it is, just a game. However, I do feel that real world value can be taken from it.
