Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW Insider staff and ask them, «What are you playing this week?» — otherwise known as: [hide]WRUP[/hide]. Join us to see what we’re up to in and out of game, and catch us in the comments to let us know what you’re playing, too!
Oh, man. [hide]BlizzCon 2011[/hide]. It’s almost a reality. As you read this, I will be somewhere over Kansas or Oklahoma or one of «those» states on my way to Southern California. I’m going to be the first staff member hitting the ground in Anaheim, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
WoW Insider will be covering all sorts of exciting World of Warcraft news once BlizzCon starts, but in the meantime, the focus is on travel. Being a helpful guy, I’ve compiled a few air travel tips and tricks to help make your trip to Anaheim an enjoyable one:
Grab something to eat before the flight. I know it’s a clich, but you don’t want to spend six hours in the air armed with a meager bag of airline-supplied peanuts or Chex mix. Get real food first. Bonus tip: While the food court’s Sbarro may make a delicious lunchtime treat, avoid the breakfast menu at all cost. Egg brick and cold potatoes may seem like a good idea at the time, but you don’t want that slimy crud working its way through your system while you’re trapped five miles in the sky. Trust me.
Be aware of security precautions. Since Sept. 11, airports have been on high alert! You should never take a suspicious-looking package on board that was given to you by a stranger. Unless the stranger who hands it to you looks totally trustworthy. Further, leave your firearms at home! You’ll have plenty of time to buy guns upon arrival on the streets of Los Angeles.
Make someone else pay for your in-flight wireless! My strategy? Wait until you’re actively on the plane to write that week’s WRUP. Business expense!
Having dreaded this six-hour plane ride that I am currently on, I asked our venerable WoW Insider staff for some recommendations on how I can best kill the time.[hide]Continue reading WRUP: The one written from 35,000 feet in the air[/hide]Filed under: [hide]WoW Insider Business[/hide], [hide]BlizzCon[/hide][hide]WRUP: The one written from 35,000 feet in the air[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:00:00 EST.
