I'm two-decades old, by the way.

Note: given that I usually write about language and society, this post is a travesty.
I was thinking about writing something very serious today, but I decided I was tired of being serious and I opted instead to talk about World of Warcraft. First, I have two complaints against Blizzard ...

*EDIT* I just realized how poorly written this is. Sorry.
