World Of Warcraft: Computer Game More Addictive... →
The computer game, played by millions, has been dubbed “the most dangerous game on the market” by addiction therapists at Sweden’s Youth Care Foundation. A 15-year-old Swedish boy collapsed and went into convulsions after playing it for 24 hours earlier this month.
Speaking as an ex-WOW junkie, I wouldn’t entirely disagree with this.

Dénouement
In literature, a dénouement (IPA:/deˈnuːmɑ̃/) consists of a series of events that follow the climax of a drama or narrative, and thus serves as the conclusion of the story. Conflicts are resolved, creating normality for the characters and a sense of catharsis, or release of tension and anxiety, for the reader.
I just like the word.
“The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think”
– Horace Walpole
About Fear
emily-jane:
Fear
When I was young I was afraid of certain kinds of Dark.
Specifically;
The Dark that chased me up the stair That licked my nape That whispered things And kissed the air Between us.
And now I kiss my child His worried face, his grubby little fists. And he asks me of the Dark.
I stay, and hold his hand and talk about -the stars we could not see without it.

Between all the new digital cameras pooped out before the upcoming PMA show and the crazy cameras buried inside cellphones at MWC, it’s a good time to go over why more megapixels isn’t necessarily better.
