The Anti-Lag Addon (SnowfallKeyPress)

Sarah says this addon will help reduce lag.  Please note she also says other addons you have may be doing what SnowfallKeyPress does already so download this only after you are sure you need it.

Dreaming of a Fancy Ban Hammer

Keredrei talks about a study that finds gamers remember and control their dreams better than non-gamers.

Matticus has dreams of his own:  he'd like WOW to have a public ban event for misbehavior just like Guild Wars does.  There's a video of a player being removed from the game to give you an idea of how banning happens in Guild Wars.

Stop the Presses! It's a Miracle! UPDATED

Blizzard says that they don't plan to use micro transactions in Starcraft 2 because they "don't make sense."  However, the article goes on to talk about other ways of making extra cash from Starcraft 2 than micro transactions.

Thanks to 1UP for pointing this out.

UPDATE:  Blizzard has confirmed there won't be any LAN play in Starcraft 2.

However, there won't be any DRM restrictions, either.

By the way, WOWHead has an article up pointing to what they say is a great site for Starcraft 2 race guides.
