NPC Comic

The Geekercise poll is now closed and the results are in! Thanks to all 919 of you who voted! So there’s a fairly strong contingent of geekercisers here when you add together the “I do alright”s, the sports players, and the workout junkies: 33% in total! And I suspect the “I could do better”s are [...]

Clocking in at 1028 votes and 83 comments (at the time of this writing), this poll was by far the most controversial one I’ve run. Obviously the answer is based on your own subjective experiences and is different for everyone. In short, there is no right answer. Here’s what we can extrapolate from the poll [...]

In the recent NPC comic, They Meet Again, the characters bring up the debate: Is it harder being a guy gamer or a girl gamer? There’s some good discussion on this topic in the comments, but I want to hear from more of you. So it’s poll time! Taking into consideration the various societal expectations, [...]

Whether it was forum puzzles or a new Matchmaking Service, a Battle.net Neural Interface costing $14,999, the new Equipment Potency Equivalent Number, or the new armory characters, Blizzard kept at least some of us entertained yesterday. And they weren’t the only ones. The Google logo was….different, Amazing Super Powers replaced their home page with audio renditions [...]

A couple weeks ago I took a poll of fellow WoW players to see how many are authenticating. The results from this very unscientific poll were encouraging – out of 477 who voted, 310 use a Blizzard authenticator to protect their account. 167 do not. Two thirds of those already using an authenticator at the [...]
