Reader comments -- ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] (http://www.wow.com/category/1-local/) ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.
True confessions time: It really is that cool to work at WoW.com. We're a chatty team. You're probably already getting a taste of that at @wowinsider (http://twitter.com/wowinsider) on Twitter, manned randomly by team members who're feeling particularly gabby. If you're a real Twitterati, you may be following individual staffers (listings available in the latest WRUP (http://www.wow.com/tag/what-are-you-playing/); follow me @eMused (http://www.twitter.com/emused)).
But the real WoW.com snark and hot debates go on behind closed doors. There's a chat room where everyone who's "on duty" hangs out - always good for a heated debate on mechanics or lore, as well as the inevitable off-topic romp on ... well, off-topic stuff. (Like Michael Sacco (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/michael-sacco)'s post-dental work, Vicodin-inspired ravings, screenshotted above - but that's another story.) There's also the news line/team e-mail list, where nobody can ever seem to resist adding their zingers to the daily cacophony of annoyed moms who want us to cancel their son's WoW subscriptions, confused TV viewers searching for customer support for their cable service (http://www1.wowway.com/) and clueless "readers" (do they actually read us?) who submit endless news tips on that awesome machinima nobody's ever heard of (http://www.wow.com/2009/07/17/wow-moviewatch-craft-of-war-blind/).
[1.Local]'s already all about the back room chatter - so we knew we couldn't exclude you from the best of the deep, deep backroom scoop at WoW.com. Look for a sampling of the behind-the-scenes staff insanity each week, mixed with the rest of the chatter on [1.Local]. Because without the insanity (and your tacit support), where would any of us be?Continue reading [1.Local]: The BACK back room (http://www.wow.com/2009/08/29/1-local-the-back-back-room/)
