Och, that's reaching for it, innit? Regardless, Time Well Wasted's Justin Olivetti has posted about one of my favorite topics: collecting 'vanity pets', those (not always) little autonomous critters that follow you around and do little other than look cute.

Actually, Justin's provided a well-thought-out list describing the things pets actually do, and he doesn't just talk about World of Warcraft, either. So it's stand up and be counted time, O Readers: What's your favorite pet, and what did you do to get it? In fact, I welcome screenshots ... if I get enough of them, I'll post a gallery. Imagine: your critter, famous! You may send your shots to akela.talamasca at weblogsinc.com.

[Thanks, Justin!]

Justin Olivetti has written an intriguing post on his blog Time Well Wasted, all about how we invest time in our favorite MMOs. He asks the question: how do we choose to spend our time, and what are your options once you've reached a level beyond which you can't progress? Do you create alts and re-climb the ladder? Do you learn to roleplay? Do you become a mentor?

Although his post is geared toward World of Warcraft, it's applicable to most MMOs, and even to some social virtual worlds, with modifications. At what point do you decide that you're done with the game, and move on? Especially considering you'll face this issue again?

(Thanks, Justin!)
