I won’t bother you all with political commentary, but this was just too funny to ignore. Good work, Oxhorn!

December 7th, 2010. A day which will live in infamy as geeks all over the world come down with the same mysterious illness. World of Warcraft junkies of the world, get your Christmas shopping done early. Rumor has it that the game will be available for digital download as well as in the more traditional box format. Regular edition will cost 39.99, and the Collector’s Edition will run 79.99.

Pirates of the Burning Sea will be going Free-to-Play. Now be this the most current of news? Nay, say I. However, it be appropriate to mention on this most glorious of holidays.
I’ll be watchin’ me favorite movie with Mrs. Grim and Little Grimmette, but for those of ye who may not have said movie available, here’s a wee bit o’ entertainment in honor of the occasion.
Well, it looks like we’ve got competition in the department of meatspace entertainments.
Dudes. Seriously. I had the WORST dream. In this dream, I completely ceased to exist for two whole weeks. Like, I was just gone. The world just kept on spinning but it didn’t have me on it. It was, like, crazy. For reals.
What’s that you say? It wasn’t a dream? I really did disappear for two weeks?
Noooooooooooooo!
Well, at least that explains why I didn’t make my usual Monday roundup posts.
Convenient excuse done. List commences…

I don’t care if Monday IS blue! I’m here to cheer you up with the latest and greatest geek news on the block. I’m also kind of running out of kitschy pop-culture references to go along with Monday in my opening statements, so if you can help a brother out lemme know.
We’ve got some great news in the works for those of you who attend our track panels this year, but we’re not quite ready to reveal it yet. Suffice it to say, if you thought we had some great events last year you haven’t seen ANYTHING yet. In the meantime, though, get a load of the list below for some other fun things that are going on in the geek world.

It’s Monday, MMO-keteers! You know what that means!!
No, that doesn’t mean it’s Music Monday. Sheesh.
BTW…You’re awesome if you got that reference and don’t ever let anyone tell you differently.
Yet again I have combed through hundreds of RSS links to pick out the choicest fruit for you, the faithful snarky flock of the Dragon*Con MMORPG community. Behind the cut below you’ll find the best geek news that’s fit to be transmitted in digital format. Well, ok…You’ll find the stuff that looked interesting to me before I hit the point where my eyes crossed and I clicked the “Mark All As Read” link.
Off we go!
A glorious evening to you all, noble warriors in the Snark army! It is time once again for your Secretary of Geek affairs to fill you in on some of the awesome news of the last week. My apologies for the lateness of the post, but I was feeling a bit under the weather today and so, unfortunately, has Mama McGreevy. Never worry, though! I did manage to gather a few tidbits to quench your thirst for geek knowledge, and you’ll find them behind the cut.

Ahhh, Lazy Sunday. A day to rest and recharge for the week. Unless, that is, you happen to be on the Dragon*Con MMORPG track staff. If you are and your name just happens to be Michael C. McGreevy (which mine is), Sunday is a day for digging up a bunch of links about geek stuff and making a post with snarky comments about them.
Which, I suppose, isn’t all that bad in the grand scheme of things. He could have asked me to comb his back hair or something. Yeech.
Anyway, here’s your Monday Geek Roundup you lucky dogs! I tried to collect news throughout the entire week instead of just gathering stuff that popped up over the weekend this time, so you may have already caught some of this.

Those of you who don’t spend pretty much every waking hour buried deep in the mire of social media may not be aware of it, but there is a very special and important scientific experiment going on today. A prominent Iranian cleric (I’ll bet he has a Shadow spec) claims that the reason we’re seeing so many earthquakes recently is because too many woman in modern society dress inappropriately and behave in a promiscuous manner. In response to this “enlightened” statement, self-proclaimed perverted atheist blogger Jen McCreight declared that today, Monday April 26th, would be a day in which women should dress inappropriately to see if they could cause earthquakes. With her huge tracts of land prominently on display, Jen hopes to cause what she has appropriately dubbed a Boobquake.
I’m thinking that perhaps the image I used for the geek roundup last week would have been a better match for today. Ah well.
Unfortunately nothing I have in the way of geek news from the weekend is nearly as awesome as that, but I figure I’ll do my best to catch you up on the latest anyway.
