It's discrimination if you don't want cancer...

The county I live in is going to start to license stores that want to sell tobacco. $400 for the license, then $200 per year after that. The funds will be used to help keep minors from having access to tobacco.

The morning news did interviews with stores selling cigarettes. One said "This is discrimination! We're a minority! This is a hate crime!"

Persecution, ur doin it wrong.

Also, a small MMO note. I realized something, WoW is mirroring FFXI when it comes to expansions. Both had their best one (FFXI's ToAU, WoW's WotLK), followed by one that changed the world (WotG, Cata). FFXI's went back in time to a war-destroyed world, WoW's went forward in time to a dragon-destroyed world.

I bet I was the only player sad to see the new login screen this morning. Come back, Arthas! You're much sexier than a silly dragon with an ugly jaw and an annoying voice!

It's really hard to take Deathwing seriously as a bad guy. He looks silly. He sounds like a whiny kid. Maybe once we kill him, the Lich King can raise him as a cool frost wyrm. :P

Which now begs the question -- when we (eventually) get to fight him, how exactly are they going to deal with the scale issues (no, not his scaly hide!)?

1) Make us all giants by some means?
2) Have us all piloting some (more than likely crap implementation of a) vehicle? As in crewing a MASSIVE gunship?
3) Have us shrink him somehow?

I mean -- the pictures show his head is bigger than a castle, how exactly do you fight that in game? We'd be like ants, he wouldn't fit in the screen. I have this absurd image of pounding on one of his clawtips for the whole fight, with nothing else to see but ginormous paw!

That was asked at Blizzcon and the devs were like...uh...we're still figuring that out. But it's going to be cool when we think of something!
