Star Trek Online is settling into the routine of MMOG cycling. The never ending cycle of develop, deploy, get eviscerated on the forums, make changes, appease few, upset many, repeat.
Cryptic continues to roll out new information about content, whether it is imminent (Season One: Common Ground) or slightly further off in the distance (Expanding Universe: Part One).
For the first time in a long time I have stopped my renewing sub. I've done this in the past for short periods (usually planned absences) but I've always come back. A very good friend of mine with 4 lvl 80s and 4 lvl 85s has played a few hours in the last month and just told me "I"m done dude."
WoW is still fun. It is the benchmark for what games should strive to be, but I think I might actually be tired of it. I will probably come back (I always have in the past) but I might not.
I think this just means I'm old. That movie was made just after they went to color. I did answer without looking it up on that new fangled internet deeeevice too.
Someone just turned on Price is Right here at the old folks home, then I'll need a nap. You whipper snappers keep it down.
I'd like to call this the WoW Shot in The Arm Patch.
They had to know when they released BC and two new races that the middle ground between their new starting areas and the Outland would be the great dead pool of characters. Their statistics have to show a ton of level 20ish or 30ish Blood Elves and Draenei wasting away because the thought of doing STV again makes people want to jump out of a steaming hot tub and roll around on sand making a human corndog instead. Now that Northrend will have people going back to Azeroth, it makes sense that the whole world gets a facelift. Maybe we'll get some new implants as well and make is so we can fly on our hard-fought over-priced mounts there someday.
What else has stagnated? Well we could always go back and fix the paladin, they still suck at anything but healing really. Ok, let's do that too! We'll see if it actually makes any difference or if they just muddle it up again like previous attempts at paladin fixes.
I see all kinds of fun things in that patch, I hope they happen.
People still buy soundcards?
In response to Creative abandoning Blizzard:
"Can I have all your stuff?"
I'm no audiocratic elitist so I typically use the good ol' onboard sound. I don't want my PC taking on any more responsibilities than making my game all pretty. Super Stellar Sound is way down on the list of must-haves, especially since I don't feel like I'm missing anything. It's not like a video card with distinct differences. In my little computer alcove usually with headphones on talking on Vent/TS or soon to be built-in WowChat, I don't need another heat producing, CPU chugging, power drain in my case.
Just like fine wine, a premium sound card would be lost on me since my tastes harken more towards Two Buck Chuck than Dom Perignon.

Is the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks?
