Orcs and Humans and Scourge, Oh My!
     On Friday I bought Warcraft III for my PC. This is a big deal for a couple reasons:

1 - I don't actually buy computer games that often.

2 - I don't usually play computer games that often anymore, as I tend to lose interest pretty darned fast. Short attention span. Ritalin needed.

3 - Blizzard, the creators of such minor games as, oh, Diablo, Starcraft, and, oh yeah, Warcraft I and II, are known for top-notch games, and the buzz had been killer on WC III for some time.

So I stopped by my trusty local Best Buy and spent $60 on the game.

It's held my attention for a day so far, which is better than many (and no, that's not a day solid - probably more like 4 hours). The graphics are very good, not the best ever, but still really good. The gameplay is solid real-time-strategy fun (none of that turn-based junk here!), and it's got a decent storyline.

Hmm, now I have an excuse to upgrade my computer! ;)
