Nothing quite irritates when playing a team-based game like a team member that doesn’t hold his or her weight.

On my way home yesterday, I heard an advertisement on the radio regarding Mountain Dew and World of Warcraft. The announcer happily told me to log on to the website so I could claim my super cool (and free) robot pet. Pet collector that I am, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Now, I have [...]
