7 Deadly Sins of Online Gaming

Important rules when online gaming, summed up by me in 4 words:
Don’t be a douche.

#4. Level Abuse (Gluttony)
And for a while, everything’s fine…
That is, until a level 70 Warlock descends from the heavens upon a magnificent winged beast and slays you and your entire party with a wave of his hand.
As he loots your bodies and tosses your precious items into a gully, you demand an answer from beyond the grave. “What the fuck, dude?!”

#6 is why I don’t play MP Wii or DS games anymore.

Wow. You’d think they would build in a failsafe to prevent that kind of abuse. You’d also think it should be quite easy, like make the quitter automatically lose.
Sure it’d be bad for people with crappy network connections, but it would encourage them to find a stable spot before MPing.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
