• Wired -- Gamer's Radical Realization: I Prefer Playing With Myself: "The reason we single-player fans love world-games like Fable II is precisely because there are no other "real&quo t; people around. Because really, who needs people? People suck. I'm joking, of course ? but only a bit. The truth is that, in online multiplayer worlds, dealing with the delightfully unpredictable behavior of "real&quo t; people can be an absolute chore. Teammates fail to show up for a raid, or they leave everyone waiting for an hour, or they log out in the middle of battle and leave you gored by a howling mob. Some of my favorite moments were between battles, when I'd roam through a desolate stretch of forest at night, looking at the shadows and ancient ruins. Hell, I just enjoyed the peace and quiet! I don't get enough of that in my real life. That's why people loved Myst so much back in the day: The game was completely deserted ? not a single other person alive ? so you were literally alone for hours with nothing but your meditative thoughts." ;

• Does This Sound Like You Part I - Story of a Divorcing Couple: This morning on the Today show on NBC, there was a story of a couple going through the pains of not being able to afford to get divorced and I wondered if they knew about divorce mediation. Sadly, their story was typical of many couples who call Equitable Mediation Services these days and probably no different from you. The couple had what was described as a ?whirlwind romance,? been married seven years and had two beautiful children but things went south and so they made the decision to divorce but could not afford to due to the slumping economy.
