			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://crios.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/blizzard_entertainment-logo.jpg" title="Blizzard Entertainment" alt="Blizzard Entertainment" align="right" height="90" hspace="10" width="150" />I love Blizzard games. Several months ago I purchased the <a href="http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft/">StarCraft</a> battlechest, and the <a href="http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/">Diablo 2</a> battlechest. Both games are really excellent (I&#8217;ll post specifically about StarCraft later) and they both are complete time-suck games. When I play them, hours of my time just disappear. Afterward I feel like I&#8217;ve been abducted by aliens, but I enjoyed my time being abducted by aliens.</p>
<p>This is beside the point. Several months ago I purchased those two games and when I got the package in the mail, I was in for a surprise. I cracked open the box and pulled out StarCraft, Diablo II and World of WarCraft (WoW). At first I thought that WoW was a demo but upon closer inspection I realized that it was the full game. I checked the invoice and only Diablo and StarCraft were on it so I knew that I hadn&#8217;t been charged for it. Blizzard had sent me a full WoW game. What many people don&#8217;t know is that WoW comes with a one month free subscription (to try it out I guess). I thought about installing WoW and trying the one month free. I thought about it for a long time. I knew enough about WoW to know that it is one of the most addictive games created and that I probably wasn&#8217;t strong enough to keep it from eating my soul so I decided <strong>NOT</strong> to install WoW. Let me explain myself&#8230; I have a wife and kids (who I love very much), I have a full-time job and I&#8217;m in grad school. I just don&#8217;t have the time to commit myself to something like that. If my wife and kids died in a car crash, then I would install WoW and play it, but until then I won&#8217;t be playing WoW. I firmly believe that Blizzard sent me that WoW on purpose. Like a crack dealer they&#8217;ll give me a free fix to get me hooked and then they&#8217;ll start charging me full price. I won&#8217;t allow myself to fall down that slippery slope.  StarCraft and Diablo II are enough, although I think I&#8217;m going to pick up the <a href="http://www.blizzard.com/war3/">WarCraft III</a> battlechest, and then there is <a href="http://www.starcraft2.com/">StarCraft II</a> to think about&#8230;</p>
