If any of you followed mine and Nicole’s infamous race to 80 last summer, you know that it ended pretty miserably for me. Frankly, she cheated and clawed her way to 80 in the wee hours of the morning after tricking me into going to sleep before she did. I’m not bitter about it…mostly, but I’m happy to report that despite the vicious whoopin’ she threw me last year I have officially re-activated my WoW account after being absent for months.
It’s not that I inherently got bored with WoW, I just didn’t have time to play it between playing a plethora of other games over the last year such as Assassin’s Creed II, Heavy Rain, Borderlands, and so on.
Will a new challenge between Nicole and I rise from the ashes that my vengance might be violently extracted? Only time will tell, but for now I’m just happy to have my new rogue running and stabbing his way through Azeroth.

Yesterday Joshua and I released the results of the World of Warcraft competition. If for some reason your computer wasn’t playing our podcast (there really isn’t any other reason you wouldn’t have listened to it), you would have found out I was the victor. It was a very close race the entire way through, and I do give many kudos to Joshua for catching up three levels and even surpassing me most of the time. You may be wondering how in the world this could have happened, considering Joshua’s dedication, diligence, and use of robots. I’m here to list a few details why the race was so close and why I ultimately dinged before him.
