Gamer Plays Over 30 Warcraft Characters

If your significant other complains that you play too much World of Warcraft, just show them this article about a user named "Prepared." He plays an amazing 36 World of Warcraft accounts on 11 different computers at the same time. He is his own raid group. "It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule," he writes. "Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft."

    No.

    Geek means fascinated with technology, knows how it works, has social skills.

    Nerd means fascinated with technology, knows how it works, has no social skills.

    If you want to see the visible difference, watch Wargames, specifically the part where David goes to Jim and Malvin for help. Jim is a geek, Malvin is a nerd.

    What is this "wife" thingy you're referring to? A cool interface addon maybe! I'll go google it!

    It was an alright add on, but after 2.0 was released, it broke and had all these nagging error messages and no ones bothered to maintain it since.
