Wow gold—Fantasy author muses on WoW themes
Maybe I will miss my wow and wow gold. 15 Minutes of Fame is WoW.com’s look at World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes — from the renowned to the relatively anonymous, the remarkable to the player next door.I really want to quit and sell my wow account and wow gold out. I am at changing mind a girl and good. Tip us off to players you’d like to hear more about.
The World of Warcraft is a season of life. You could approach it strictly as a video game – many do – but as soon as you push beyond the surface, you find yourself building relationships with fellow players, musing over storylines, sharing frustrations and triumphs in a way that punctuates time.
On the TCG side, Corey Burkhart took the top spot by playing a Troll Shaman deck for the win. In the minis competition, Michael Allen picked up the big prize. The official site has lots more information, including rundowns of each match, standings for each round, and even a Facebook album full of photos. It’s no stretch of the imagination, then (or is it, perhaps, entirely about stretching the imagination?) to consider the impact a game such as World of Warcraft might have on the fertile mind of a fantasy writer. So when we spied comments around the internet from Catherynne M. Valente (author of Palimpsest) pointing straight toward gaming, we suspected she’d had her hand in the WoW cookie jar – and we were right. While she’s not currently playing WoW (having sworn off its siren call to devote her time to writing), she responded enthusiastically to our interest, producing an interview filled with gaming, WoW, fantasy, science fiction and the timeless themes that tie these worlds together. I spent my Saturday out at Gen Con in Indianapolis, and while I did hunt down some of the World of Warcraft action there, there was just too much going on to pay attention to the 2009 North American Continental Championships for the WoW minis and TCGs, which took place right there in the TCG hall. Fortunately, the official site covered it all, so if you’re a fan of the trading card game and want to know who the best current players in North America are, there you go.
The winners picked up thousands of dollars in prizes (including a 17″ MacBook Pro and a 30″ Apple monitor for Corey), and all of these guys will all compete in the World Championships, to be held in Austin, Texas this October (that prize goes up to a whopping $100,000 overall, so the stakes can get big). Congratulations to all the winners — sounds like it was a rousing event there in Indy, and Upper Deck is probably on their way as we speak off to meet with us later this week at BlizzCon. More on that later — meanwhile, enjoy the show, and hopefully we’ll see you via Ustream at the meetup on Thursday night. Buying cheap wow gold in reality it very interesting and some playersa are surfing online and looking for the best wow gold shop.
