In a series of violent gesticulations, dramatic leaps and one incident in which a coffee table was accidentally overturned, UW Junior Stanley Geils re-enacted more than 20 selected highlights from his most recent “World of Warcraft” session for the benefit of his girlfriend, UW Sophomore Jennifer Tierney.

Although Geils appeared dazed and unfocused when Tierney attempted to engage him in any other topic of conversation, the 21-year-old student demonstrated remarkable mental clarity when describing the exploits of his in-game avatar, a level-70 Elf Mage named Galalariand.

Geils’ retelling of a successful raiding party, which lasted for nearly 28 minutes and caused the couple to miss the last showtime of “Run, Fat Boy, Run,” had been pared down from a hour-long version that Geils admitted had included “unnecessary filler material.”

Throughout the recitation, Tierney remained impassive, first returning several text messages and then mentally compiling an equally detailed list of Geils’ failures as a boyfriend and human being, to be delivered at a later date.
