My Fiery Prison

It's the Midsummer Fire Festival in World of Warcraft, which means I have to do another set of boring holiday achievements.  I don't Have To, of course, but if I don't complete the achievements I'm missing out on the super-fast mount I've earned over the past year by doing seven of the eight other Boring Holiday Meta-Achievements.

Syp's recent quote of the day comes to mind.  Any game of any substantial length is, at some point, going to be about work instead of fun.  In MMO's those points seem to come a lot -- in WoW they come at least eight times a year.
