God am I ever lazy. I keep using the “I don’t have time” excise for as to why I haven’t updated my blog in a month. Let’s be clear… That’s complete crap.

I have a lot of time but most of it has been spent playing World of Warcraft. Pretty much since Wrath of the Lich King launched that’s all I have been doing.

Now I also find myself playing multiple accounts at once using KeyClone. I’m having a lot of fun with it.

Now I’m in my wives guild CobraKai (Sweep the leg!!!) and raiding end game content it’s a good time had byall. The wife and I play constantly. We are always in game — even as I write this from my iphone (while away from keyboard) I’m in game.

Anyway, after having XP tell me for the umpteenth time that I had “unused icons on my desktop”.. (Yes I know.. I PUT THEM THERE..) I decided to install Ubuntu on my game machine and try to get WoW working. I figured I’d be in a long and protracted fight, an impossible up hill battle with a colossal fight at the end! I couldn’t have been more wrong — but I get ahead of myself.

The social aspect is pretty good, the combat is pretty good, raiding can be fun, and it’s a nice mindless game to play with your friends and loved ones.. In fact, just about everything is pretty good.

Except one major detail — the game looks like ass.
