Last Friday I finally bit the bullet and sold my soul (well, my bank account at least) to an 18 month phone contract, after swearing to remain Pay-As-You-Go which I’ve been on ever since first owning a mobile phone, all for the new shiny Apple iPhone 3G 8gb.  I’m a geek, we all know that, and after all the hype I just couldn’t let this pass me by and I didn’t fancy waiting until the PAYG model appeared with a hefty price tag.  So I thought today I’d take some time to post my impressions of the device.

Now that I have two weeks of freedom, I figured I’d do something very brave which could result in the loss of my social life, the loss of any future career prospects, and gaining the ability to pee in a bottle.  Yep, I’m joining World of Warcraft, if only for a month or so (though people tell me I’ll get sucked in no matter how hard I resist… We’ll see…).  You can see my progress from the little badge below.  I’ve also added a small minibar to the side of the page now as well which shows similar stats.

You can also view my full profile from the WoW Europe armory here.

Other games I’m hoping to squeeze in amongst all the WoW’ing are Oblivion (Shivering Isles) [360], Super Smash Bros Brawl [Wii], Bioshock (again) [360], and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue [PS3].  Wishful thinking.  I also would hope to get some work done on game development as well.  Realistically, I’m pretty sure that isn’t gonna happen.  But here’s hoping.
