Yes, people of Guam, one of your elected representatives in the Legislature is a gamer; more specifically, a WOW geek. He talks the gamer geek talk and walks the gamer geek walk.
He is Sen. Ray Tenorio, and he plays a level-70 Dwarven priest by the name of Paleray (Pale Ray -- the game only allows one-word names) for the guild Knights of the Marianas on the Silverhand server.
Tenorio has been gaming online in massive multiplayer online role-playing games, or MMORPG, for years. His previous game of choice was Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, where he had several top-level characters of various classes. But in November 1995, his brother Charlie, who was playing World of Warcraft, made an earnest plea -- "We need a healer," Charlie said. And so Tenorio created his priest. It took him a little while to get used to the different style of play, but he was quickly hooked.
