  • I was lucky enough to play WoW when it first released. Nothing will ever come close to the experience of Vanilla & the first two expansions. There were no aggregate sites with all the info/strats/drops/… it was pure discovery.

    I remember doing Onyxia for the first time with randoms and getting our asses whooped like you wouldn’t believe. Then someone told me that Molten Core would soon be released and contain TEN of these bosses back-to-back. While we could scarcely fathom bringing one down.

    Suffice to say, our first foray into MC (again with randoms) was… painful. Got our asses whooped again, this time by the trash mobs there.

    Ahh, memories…








  • I’ve only really been in one breach. This one is actually a breach of a “security firm” (incompetent idiots) who aggregated login data from the dark web themselves, essentially doing the blackhats’ work for them.

    This is also EXACTLY why requiring online interactions to be verified with government ID is a terrible idea. Hackers will similarly be able to gain all possible wanted data in a single location. It’s simply too tempting of a target not to shoot for.










  • I’m going to suggest “The Talisman”, which was co-written with Peter Straub. It’s a coming-of-age story so there should be some overlap of interest there. It’s more of a dark adventure than a horror book, and it ties in with the Dark Tower saga (but only “after the fact”, so you can read Talisman without any of the other context just fine), but I read it at about that age and it helped me get into a lot of other King books, and eventually, much broader fantasy, sci-fi and horror.

    I also seem to remember that it starts somewhat slow, but once you get through that it’s fantastic to the end.
