A Bit of Real Life: The Guild

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 8/8 Bits

I was scanning through my netflix instant view list the other day when I ran upon a little gem called "The Guild". Thinking "Ho Hum, another nerdy TV show" I flicked it on to watch while I ran instances in WoW. Instantly, I was smitten. The adorable lead actress Felicia Day (also seen in Doctor Horrible's Singalong Blog as Penny), AKA Codex, starts the show by speaking into her V-Log regarding the unlikely appearance of one of her Guild Members (Zaboo) on her front door step professing his undying love for her.

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 8/8 Bits

So, I'll admit, I used to play dungeons and dragons (who wouldn't have seen that one coming). I used to meet up with friends twice a week, and run campaigns--it's obviously what led to my obsession with World of Warcraft. I graduated highschool, and couldn't find anyone who wanted me to Dungeon Master (DM) for them, so I started playing "real" videogames.

Alright, so call me old fashioned, but nothing irritates me more than going onto a computer and finding all pirated music, games, and software.

A Bit of Boredom Relief: IPhone Games

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 5/8 BITS

I have had an Iphone since the First generation version came out. I remember watching the television commercials that played in between Nip/Tuck, and thinking "Oh Wow, I want one of those." I begged and begged my father, until he came to the mall with me, the day after Thanksgiving, and bought me one.

A Bit of Stupidity (or Awesomeness): LEEROY JENKINS!

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 8/8 Bits.

Any of you gamers who have never heard of Leeroy Jenkins, or do not know what a facepull is, as seriously missing out.

A Bit of Education: Lost University

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 5/8

Now, despite the fact that I absolutely adore ABC's Lost, there is only SO far that the obsession can go. From expensive Box Sets to Lost themed bands like Sonic Weapon Fence from Chicago, and The Oceanic Six, Lost has truly gone off the charts with the insanity.
