Having had no free time to play Halo 3 since returning from Japan a week ago, Ryan gives me a brief glimpse into the coming weeks:

Ryan: I’m going to play Halo 3 now.
Veronica: OK. Mind if I sit here?
Ryan: No, I don’t mind, just make zero noise and don’t bug me.

This is by far the funniest comparison I’ve seen of the three major consoles. Yahtzee Croshaw produces this hilarious series called Zero Punctuation on The Escapist, and this is how I wish Prizefight could have been (if it were animated, curse-heavy, and with an accent).

Thanks to kkc, who sent this to me!

Oh man, my blog is quickly becoming very WoW-centric, and I promise this won’t last for much longer. However, I feel compelled to devote a post to my new favorite web serial, The Guild. It stars the lovely Felicia Day (some of you will recognize her from Buffy, but she’s worked on other cool projects as well) as a Warcraft-addicted woman who finds her online life encroaching on her personal, “IRL” space. The second episode just came out, and my only real complaint is that they’re woefully short. If you’re a WoW player, you’ll find the references and constant Vent chatter in the background to be both hilarious, and frighteningly close to home.

Episode One:

Episode Two:

I think it’s especially funny to think about the lines between real and virtual world blurring… but as much as I love my guild, it would be a little odd to find one of them on my doorstep one day! But hey, that’s what meet-ups are for!

We have more BlizzCon 07 footage that’s going to come out, but I couldn’t resist publishing this interview now! FYI, there’s an F-word thrown in during some of the game footage, so it might be NSFW for some of you. For those that don’t know, Leeroy is definitely the most infamous WoW celebrity/character in the history of the game! For more info on Leeroy, see his page at Mahalo. Thanks to Tyler and Conrad for putting this together!

UPDATE: Yes, I know it’s fake. Yes, I knew it at the time. Do I care? Not really. The Internet is serious business, folks.
