這個萬惡的雜誌裡有一堆垃圾資訊，卻主宰電子媒體每週三（還是每週四？）的晚間頭條，了不起！不過好看的也有：例如李桐豪寫的遊記（不是每一期都是他寫的，請認明李桐豪喔），還有詹宏志的專欄...  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=whyclare.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6872545&amp;post=753&amp;subd=whyclare&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following was posted last May on my Chinese blog, which no longer needs to exist. But this post does. After all, it is not just a blog entry dear to me. It&#8217;s a post that amused Perry.   在Mackay地區參觀糖廠Sarina Sugar Shed，看到收割甘蔗的機器，想起哥布林，懷念起石爪山脈。 魔獸世界，好熟悉又好遙遠的地方。 我很久沒打魔獸了。但曾經有一段時間，我可以一整天都在魔獸世界裡，解任務、下副本、哈啦。（長大麻煩事不少，但好處是：有錢買季卡，一直打電動也沒人管。）魔獸究竟有什麼魅力讓我願意將大把大把的青春交給它？ 魔獸製作團隊很用心，很專業，所以最終產品很讓人著迷，這是當然的。我也喜歡打五人副本，牧師補血，坦克挨打，獵人法師控場，盜賊術士拼命傷害，跟打籃球有前鋒中鋒後衛一樣，分工合作感覺很棒。 還有，在魔獸世界裡升級比在現實世界中晉級簡單許多。打開任務列表，把任務一一解完，就得到很多經驗值，經驗值夠了就升級，裝備一定越來越好，金幣一定越來越多，沒有意外，一切如此明確。專業一點的還可以上網參照升級攻略，照著攻略解任務保證可以更快升級。 現實世界不是。沒有清楚的任務列表，想從等級1升到80級究竟該做些什麼事？這你得自己想。雖然也有各種婚姻幸福秘訣我不是教你詐厚黑成功術理財聖經等等可供參考，但這些偽攻略不見得能幫你達成目標，更別說提供捷徑。 打/quit就可以離開魔獸。輕鬆無痛離開世界的方法，不知道是什麼。 扯遠了。我要說的是，我愛任務列表。目標清楚，獎勵也很明白。解完任務，戰利品上身，金幣入袋，顯示經驗值的長條立刻變長。即時獲得成就感，心滿意足。於是心甘情願，打開任務列表，繼續解下一個任務。我覺得這是我可以在魔獸世界流連忘返的一大原因。 我需要任務列表給我成就感。 明日聖騎士任務列表： 物歸原位：去郵局寄書回布里斯本                                    &#160;&#8230; <a href="http://whyclare.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/old-post/">Read&#160;more</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=whyclare.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6872545&amp;post=697&amp;subd=whyclare&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
