Okay, November has been a very bleak month as far as site updates go, but I promise it is not because we are slacking off. We are approaching the end of the fall semester for school, and that means getting ready for finals. On top of that, there are a lot of big school projects we are wrapping up which currently have the heaviest pull on our attention. These reasons alone would be sufficient for explaining why we haven’t made very many posts within the past couple of weeks, but neither are the best reason.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King came out on November 17th. In fear of playing it and diverting my focus away from being responsible, I haven’t been bringing my laptop to work. Sure, I could make updates from home, but I don’t think too much about blogging or adding new content unless I’m taking a break at work. So, as you may have guessed, the reason this update is being made is this is the first day in some time I’ve had my laptop at work with me. On that note, I’m off to level my Warrior.

Earlier today, Kotaku, a video game news website, ran an article about the pictured set of armor. It's difficult to tell by the size of the pic (larger pictures are available at this website), but that is a real set of armor fashioned after the Judgement Armor set from the massively-multiplayer on-line role playing game World of Warcraft.

Every couple of years, Blizzard (the creators of World of Warcraft) holds a convention called Blizzcon, an event for fans to get together and celebrate Blizzard's games, as well as enjoy sneak previews of upcoming Blizzard games and products. A popular thing to do at these conventions is dress up like your favorite Blizzard characters, and some of the costumed attendees also participate in costume contests. What the existence of this armor means, essentially, is an automatic first prize. It would take a major effort by someone to create an outfit as spectacular as this, and anyone who has the chops to do so gets major props from us. We're not sure if we can justify a purchase like this with the wedding coming up, but if anyone else could show us this in person, please let us know - we'd love to see it.
