Brilliant article on WiredNews about WoW as a text adventure that’s making the rounds:
> Look at dagger
It’s a noxious, poorly-balanced piece of crap, but it’s better than the weapon you have right now.
> What do I have now?
It’s not clear from the decay, but you think it may have once been a whisk.
As any RPG player will tell you – so true!

Debbie owns and runs The Average Gamer. She started her gaming addiction during the mid-eighties on a lovely green Amstrad CPC64. From those early days of The Hobbit (say to Thorin “Carry me please”) she graduated to Lucasarts adventures and western C-RPGs. She accidentally fell into real-time strategy through the original Dune game but it really isn’t her thing. A few years of Discworld MUD addiction followed. Eventually she found first-person shooters, Japanese RPGs and Soul Calibur, and is now a fully-rounded gamer.
