1. Daily Column

45 new MMOG articles posted this week.

Day 1 of Leipzig arrived after many travel delays and numerous rides on the Leipzig public tram. 36 hours without sleep might be fun on reality TV, but let me tell you it doesn't make for a very funny TTH crew. We flew to Germany and I made them eat at Pizza Hut. I offered to buy them a Schnitzel Stuffed Crust if they would stop whining. They didn't stop, so I didn't buy. Only Garrett remained his cheerful, chipper, happier-than-thou self. A huge round of clap for him.

I was teamed up with Phil "Ralphabetsoup" Comeau as we visited Blizzard and SOE. I guess that makes us the "A" team. I'll let you decide what "A" stands for. My interview with Darrin McPherson is linked below.

It's a very different show from any I have attended before and I've been to a few (hundred thousand). For one, attractive blonde women are scurrying everywhere. If I had come here 20 years ago I would never have left. Coca-Cola is served from a glass bottle and air conditioning isn't served at all. Fortunately for you we are delivering the goods. Seven Leipzig articles are posted along with 20 other MMOG pieces today. It's a good day to call in sick and get caught up!
