Attention Blizzard: damn you!

I spent basically any time yesterday I wasn’t attending to vital bodily functions playing Warcraft III. The sad part is, looking back on my playing experience yesterday, I think I’ve decided that I don’t like it as much as Warcraft II. What really sealed it for me was reading this strategy guide for Warcraft III. The guide talks about putting a lot of emphasis on micro-management, especially in combat, and I don’t like that! The formation stuff works reasonably well, with troops putting themselves into formation correctly, but the game puts too much emphasis on heroes. It’s like putting Diablo into Warcraft III, but I still have all this other shit to do. Plus this 90 food limit sucks. I think I need more like 600 or so. I need 9 full groups of combat units. (Thinking about that more, I decided I also needed a huge fucking map and about 100 farms as human.) I just need to go back to playing Civilization. (Not Civ III either; fuck all that diplomacy shit.)

Before I was sucked in to Blizzard’s evil universe yesterday I did get a little coding done. I think I’ve made cards for ever class in my new Wiki. I think I’m also violating some Wiki principles of simplicity by needing so many classes that I have a stack of cards for them. I’m using interfaces for everything as well, in a language that doesn’t natively support them (Perl). For that matter, I’m punishing myself by writing OO in Perl. I’ve clearly gone insane. I can’t stop myself though.
