Wow, I get the honor of writing an introduction to the column! I feel honored. No, it isn’t because I’ve been a good boy or sent Joe lots of money and gifts. Joe’s taking a little break to recoup due to the starting of a great new school year and other obligations. Since I’m a slacker and didn’t have anything going on this week, I’ll be flying solo this week. Hopefully I’ll be able to maintain some integrity without Joe’s excellent writing backing me up. This week I continue my adventure into Square-Enix’s MMORPG. Look out for inane thoughts and newbie-scent wafting your way! “Nulliar grabs hardhat!”
