The Daily Grind: What excuse do you use to get out of dungeon runs?
It happens to the best and most well-intentioned of us. There we are, deep in the thick of instanced battle, and we need to go. We have to go. For whatever reason, this dungeon run isn't working out and it's time to bail. Maybe the group is frustrating you 10 ways from Sunday. Maybe you've wiped so many times that it's a foregone conclusion that a victory is never going to happen. Maybe a teammate is irking you and you've broken two fingers from throttling your monitor in frustration. Maybe you're just exhausted and ready for some shuteye. Whatever the situation, what is your go-to excuse to extricate yourself from a dungeon run or raid? Do you tell the honest truth or go for the easy lie? Do you have a ready-made excuse lined up, such as the infamous "Oops electrical storm crashed my computer!"? It's OK -- we've all been there. Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming.

Breakfast Topic: Silly, unconventional, and amazing dungeon runs
One of my favorite memories of WoW came from a year and a half or so back, when Alex and I were both leveling a pair of DPS Warriors as alts, mine a Gnome female, his a Night Elf male whom he RPed as being absolutely insane and having an unhealthy love of cheese. We had a friend who was leveling a Druid, another who was leveling a Shadow Priest and a third who was leveling a Warlock. So, it seemed on a lot of nights, all 5 of us would get together and take on whatever dungeon was in our level range. We conquered most of the mid-level dungeons once or twice this way, with no tank -- Alex would just charge ahead screaming and pull a bunch of mobs -- and somehow (we were never sure how) we generally killed them while staying alive. Often, neither of us Warriors made a special effort to tank, we just somehow DPSed them to death before they killed us.
