Air Force One tagging
Du kan leje en kæmpestor hangar og en 747. Derefter maler du, i al hemmelighed, den ene side af flyet så det fuldstændig ligner Air Force One. Så laver du en video med nogle hætteklædte typer, som hopper over et hegn ind til flyet og laver grafitti på det. Til sidst frigiver du videon på internettet hvor den begynder at cirkulere og Wired bla. skriver om den:
President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.

World of Warcraft
Nogle siger at spillet først starter som lvl60, men for mig var lvl60 = Game Over! Her ændrede spillet sig fuldstændigt. Ved lvl60 kan man kun forbedre sin character ved at få bedre udstyr og det allerbedste udstyr (epic loot) fås hovedsagligt i high-end 40 mands raid instances.
Nicolas Ducheneaut fra PlayOn har startet en diskussion på Tera Nova som omhandler World of Warcrafts raids. PlayOn er kommet frem til at kun 30% af alle lvl60 characters har deltaget i high-end raid instances (ZG, MC eller BWL) i januar måned. 28% af alle raid deltagere har tilbragt mindre end 1 time i raids i løbet af januar.
Det største raid jeg selv nåede at deltage i var vist 15 eller 20 mands. Men jeg oplevede aldrig et raid, som tog mindre end 1½ time. De 28% som nævnes ovenfor må derfor næsten være raids som mislykkedes.
En god raid gruppe skal være balanceret sammensat med nogle bestemte typer characters for at have en chance. Det kan være svært at samle en pickup raidgruppe med de rigtige typer og det tager som regel en time eller mere bare at få samlet gruppen. Det er dog først når man er igang med raidet at man finder ud af om gruppen "virker". 1 spiller der gør noget forkert kan wipe hele gruppen. Desuden kan der være spillere som forlader gruppen eller bliver disconnected. Altsammen noget der kan være svært at håndtere for en tilfældig sammensat gruppe. Ifølge PlayOn analysen var det kun 3,6% af alle observere spillere (223.043), som brugte mere end 1 time i raids på en måned.
De bedste gruppe oplevelser får man når alle spillerne er med i den samme guild. Det giver et bedre sammenhold og man er mere forpligtet til at holde ud og hjælpe i en guildgruppe.
Det er dog ikke alle guilds, der er gearet til high-end raids. For at være med i en high-end raid guild kræves det ofte at man bruger bestemte mods, TeamSpeak/Ventrilo, sætter sig ind i DKP og måske endda at ens character har en bestemt skill template. Desuden forventes det af dig at du deltager i raids på bestemte tidspunkter (20:00-00:00) og dage... uge efter uge.
Selv med den slags regler/krav tager det måneders træning før en guild kan gennemføre en high-end raid instance. Sværhedsgraden er så høj at det skal gribes systematisk an og udføres korrekt. Derfor er det kun de få, der arbejder hårdt for det, som kan fylde sin character med epic loot.
Hvorfor deltager jeg så ikke i den spændende epic loot udfordring?
- Jeg spiller computer når jeg har lyst. Ikke efter en skemalagt tidsplan.
- Jeg vil selv bestemme hvilke skills min character har og hvordan jeg spiller den.
- Jeg vil ikke bare være endnu et træ i skoven. 15 mand var lige på grænsen for mig. 5-10 mands grupper synes jeg er sjovere. Man har større indflydelse på spillet samt der er mindre venten og forvirring undervejs.
Men jeg synes nu stadig at World of Warcraft er et fantastisk spil! For mig var det super underholdning at bevæge mig fra lvl1 til lvl60. Jeg vil uden tvivl anbefale spillet til enhver som overvejer at prøve MMORPG genren for første gang.
Jeg har selv kun spillet på Horde siden (FOR THE HORDE!!!) men jeg vil ikke udelukke at vende tilbage og prøve Alliance på et tidspunkt.... eller måske en Role Playing server.

Tobold har blogget et link til 2 spilleres review af WoW ved lvl60.

The Zone
When you have a long stretch where you aren’t bothered, you can get in the zone. The zone is when you are most productive. It’s when you don’t have to mindshift between various tasks. It’s when you aren’t interrupted to answer a question or look up something or send an email or answer an im. The alone zone is where real progress is made.Det må være derfor man er så pokkers produktiv når man arbejder hjemme.

Jeg startede en station ved at vælge Comfortably Numb med Pink Floyd. Efter en halvtimes tid spillede Pandora Fire in Cairo med The Cure. Hvorfor mon de spillede den?
Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features a subtle use of vocal harmony, a vocal-centric aesthetic, minor key tonality, electric rythm guitars and a dynamic male vocalist.

Nothing ever really happens. Oh, you think something is going to happen. The previews show that something is going to happen. Sadly though, in the end nothing really happens. It’s amazing that you can watch a whole season of the show and end up pretty much where you started. Yep, still on the island. Nope, still don’t know what all the crazy stuff happening is about…

30 seconds of fun
No, they played it because of what the designers called the game's ability to deliver "30 seconds of fun," over and over again. And those 30 seconds didn't consist of moderating a frickin' guild meeting, if you know what I mean. Nosiree: They consisted of wasting every last freaky alien that wandered anywhere near your muzzle.Ind i mellem har man brug for bare at slå hjernen fra og klikke løs :)
