It drives me insane that I even have to wait until the next day to watch a TV show. After all, if I have to wait then I’ll have to avoid every single fan site and every friend I know that watches the show otherwise I risk the episode being ruined. This effect is even more powerful when it’s any kind of season finale. I don’t know if there’s any way to figure out the statistic, but I guarantee that season finales are the most pirated of all episodes. MUST SEE NOW!

I knew there was a pirated version of the game out there, but I still force myself to wait those 3 days to play.

It’s delayed in Germany until next week, and I just couldn’t wait any longer.

On the flip side, I vented about not being able to download from Direct2Drive.com on Twitter and somehow their Twitter pointed me at their UK site. That was kinda cool.

WoW released 3 months late in Europe (Feb 2005). Still mildly bitter about that.

No idea why considering the US had simultaneous releases on all platforms.
