Happy 45th Birthday Doctor Who!

Happy 4th Birthday World Of Warcraft!

Although both are entirely different, they are two of my favourite distractions in life. Countless hours of enjoyment have been (and no doubt will continue to be) derived from these creations.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the two could somehow be combined?

 As far as history goes, last week was quite a week wasn’t it? I mean, how can the most important presidential election in a millenium be topped? Could it even be possible?

Hold on to your britches folks, cause this week is even bigger!

I speak of course of the fact that two of the most awaited games of all time are to be released within a day of each other: Animal Crossing: City Folk and World Of Warcraft: Wrath Of The Lich King!

< Animal Crossing

< Lich King

Animal Crossing is out Wednesday, Lich King thursday. I’ll buy both. In fact I’ll be at Wal-Mart on midnight wednesday night to get Lich King the second it goes on sale. Then I’ll play it like a maniac through the weekend. Of course during this time I’ll also play Animal Crossing, a game which by it’s very nature demands the player to play every single day without ever missing one!

Which will prevail? I have, for a few years now, alternated between saying that both Animal Crossing (previous versions) and WoW are both the most addictive games ever. The first Animal Crossing (on gamecube) I played every single day with no exceptions for six months. That said, my Warcraft character has 100 days (2400 hours!) total playtime!

It’s a good thing Winter is almost here. I may not be going outside for a while 🙂

Edit: as an addendum to my post, although Animal Crossing ships this week, it has a street date of Sunday. So my WoWing will be unimpeded for 2 days!
