Marvellous. I was idling away a few mins on the computer, waiting for flckr to upload photos and found this reference to myself on http://www.karybrown.com/?q=node/11 :

Fran Hortop divorced her husband because he spent too much time playing World of Warcraft.

“Without the normal rigmarole of social interaction...he can whoop it up…without ever having to physically shake hands." Hortop said on her blog, Confessions of a Video Game Widow. "It’s like playing action men all over again. Did action man have a girlfriend? He most certainly did not. You have now become obsolete."

I love it. She writes with such authority, the writer of this piece. Married and divorced without any knowledge on my part. Dan thinks it's hilarious. I wrote this article for Bintmagazine.com about two years ago bemoaning the lot of the videogame widow. It was supposed to be funny. Obviously, I'm not good at funny and the irony was too heavily veiled. My first divorce!
