Stupid games.

Spent over an hour stumbling about the internet in a recreational panic over an ugly proposed change in the Warlock class in World of Warcraft. Looking for details, looking for clarification, looking for a retraction...

I _play_ this game for five hours a week. Everything else is maintenance.

What is it about the gamer psyche - or my psyche, to sugar coat it less - that drives one to be neurotic about changes in rules of something that couldn't possibly affect my _job_... but I don't do the same thing about proposed changes to tax law or some equivalent?

( Because I can't not write this shit down... what's the change? )
