In which my secret nerdy habits and my professional life converge
Yes, I'll probably be attending John Bohannon's academic conference inside World of Warcraft, "Convergence of the Real and the Virtual."
I'm trying to get my boss to cover a month's subscription costs but I doubt that's gonna fly.
By the way, in the center of that screen grab there you can barely make out my little toon,
Mishata, a bull dyke
Tauren Shaman undertaking a ritual to learn some new skillz.
The most interesting
topic I think would address the massive role that the
auction house plays in game.
As I suppose is the case with all academic endeavors into the 'field,' the conference has not been immune to
ridicule from hardcore players...
