/AFK – July 26

While the entire geek world was at the Comic Con this past week, I was twiddling my thumbs in Michigan… but I also started a diet and have stuck to it pretty faithfully so far, which has made me pretty happy.  So what’s caught my attention in the world of MMO blogs this past week?  Let’s see:

• Looking at DDO?  Over at MMOHub, they’ve examined 10 things they love and 10 things they hate about the game.
• Ferrel (I keep wanting to type out “Ferris”) continues his Modern MMO Myths series… what do you think so far?
• Psychochild’s list of MMO pet peeves are so on the nose that I kept nodding after almost every one.
• KTR salutes Wizard 101 for its excellent pricing structure.
• Kieron does a quick follow-up to his Darkfall re-review over at RPS.
• Moon Over Endor spots a bit of viral marketing from BioWare — what is “The Great Holocron”?
• “Swaaaad.”
• Wolfshead looks at the first fifteen minutes of EQ2 and surprisingly doesn’t use the /pizza command.  Tipa rebuts.  Wolfshead rebuts the rebuttal.
• Gordon fawns over his iPhone’s WoW Armory app.  Get a room, you two!
• HK-47 RULEZZZZZ!
• Stunty advises Mythic to listen closely to the community and to take action Jackson.
• Two heads are better than one, especially when gaming a MMO, Spinks thinks.
• Kotaku takes on the Champions Online combat challenge, and lives to tell the tale.
• Are Wargens as a playable race coming to WoW?  Hatch says “yes” and provides evidence.
• /gab watches the recent TOR video diary and blurts out every random thought that comes into his head about it.
• Want a sneak peek of World of Warcraft: The Movie as directed by Sam Raimi?  Here ya go!
• GOA to bloggers: you’re antisocial malcontents!
• Congrats to Stunty Stomper for a terrific milestone!
• No more tanks!  No more tanks!
• EA endorses harassment. Seriously.
• Erm… ha?
