World of Patchcraft
I can’t believe it!
My son gave me World of Warcraft for Christmas with a free month. Everybody says the game is addictive etc, but I figure OK, I like this kind of game, I’ll try it out for a month or two. I install it before dinner and in installed fine. After dinner, I create a WoW account and start the game and sign in. It wants to install a patch. OK, I wait for the download, tens of megabytes, and install the patch. And it wants another. And another. Probably over 100 megabytes of downloaded patches. I joke “World of Patchcraft” (which I discover I’m not the first one to call it that). Am I done? Not even close. Now it is downloading a 2.6 GIGAbyte patch. Good lord. This is so worse that installing Windows. It is going download all night. It says “about 11 hours” now. Good lord.

WoW day 2: it’s fun to patch.
I haven’t actually played WoW, although I installed it yesterday, unless this it considered part of the game, downloading and installing patches? maybe I’ll go play Resident Evil on the Wii instead…
It finished the 2.6GB patch and is almost done with the 389MB patch. Let’s see how big the next patch is.
Now a 21MB patch.
After 20 hours, literally, it’s installed. So what is this World of Warcraft thing about… I’ll let you know in 30 days, er 29 days.
