Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July! I’m taking the day off of blogging to spend the day with my wife and daughter and go watch some good old celebration fireworks. If you are a hardcore gamer – I know a lot of MMORPG’s out there have their own versions of holidays, Star Wars Galaxies had a lot …
