welcome to Azeroth

I consider myself off the skag that is World of Warcraft; I have had enough of a break from the game that I can view my experiences with it objectively. I've got an article over at The Cultural Gutter that is an attempt to capture the essence of what is arguably the most popular MMORPG in existence right now. With an expansion looming in the distance that tears my heart in two, and holding on hope for the last three patches that something might actually be done to deepen the experience, I consider the article a purging of that other life.

What is this place?
Tales of a Scorched Earth is a weblog devoted to the review of video games and game culture, but easily integrates other forms of consumable media. Here you will find opinions on games that you could probably do without, but are going to read anyway. Updated at least once a week, but more if I'm feeling particularly inspired.
