When I stumbled on this news report on the Guam PDN a couple days ago, it helped me feel a little less “childish” whenever I played Warcraft on Blizzard or logged on for a couple sessions of Halo 2 with friends from the mainland.
I’ve been a school teacher for seven years now, and although I’m a professional at work, I still love to play games and wield some magic to attack an evil orc and troll now and then. Seems like I’m not the only one. Senator Ray Tenorio, a former Guam police officer and current Senator in the Guam Legislature plays World of Warcraft. He not only knows how to play the game, but he also boasts an impressive level 70 dwarf priest who goes by the name of Paleray (father Ray). You can find him on the Silverhand server.
Heres what he had to say about his gaming experience taken from the source at Guampdn.
“What I like about World of Warcraft is it’s a great way to be able to reach out and connect with other people… So many different people play — attorneys, accountants, geeks, … all kinds of people… What makes World of Warcraft so alluring is that it’s always reinventing and adding new content Tenorio says. There’s always something new to come back to…”
Go Ray! I’ll be voting for you again! Here’s his actual character profile online.
That’s awesome! I think too many politicians try to distance themselves from us regular people. I love to see one embrace his inner geek.
I haven’t tried WOW yet since I think there’s no local servers here in the Phil yet. But I do play some games once in a while as well. Like the one I’m currently playing, Elderscrolls: Oblivion. :D
LOL…i know all about WoW. I dated a geek for 9 years who loved this stuff and all his friends would have me caught in the middle of their sessions. We used to joke about that we should form Women against WoW forum.
Guammie has a WoW forum site….check it out!

Mimi, it doesn’t seem to be getting too much traffic! haha.
lol. because the only people who use it know each other personally. i have no clue how it works. i never even knew it existed until a month ago.
I see. The next time you see your geeky friends ask them if they ever played the senator. lol
