I realized that, since I talk about MMOs so much with my friends, I might as well talk about it with new friends, sharing what I know (and feel) while receiving the same from you. Let’s get down to brass tacks:
#1. Who are you and why are you here?
I’m a software architect and author, currently living in Des Moines, IA. I started playing WoW at launch. My first MMO was City of Heroes, but I have a long gaming pedigree (heh) going back to Dungeons & Dragons. My first WoW character was an undead warlock named Melivia. I was terrible at the game, as one can expect. I tried to disenchant malachite and always used Drain Soul too early.
#2. What is your objective?
Of course I’d love to be regarded as an informed source on MMORPGs, but that is not my expectation. My objective is to share my thoughts and feelings about all aspects of the games I play, both in-game and IRL. It’s up to you to decide how much value (or entertainment) I provide to your newsreader. Hopefully it’ll be enough for you to keep coming back and sharing your own thoughts and ideas with me.
#3. Why ‘Angry Raider’?
This blog is not about raiding specifically, but a considerable amount of my time in WoW has been spent raiding. I’m not particularly angry about anything, but my blog posts will typically follow a template of complaining followed by a constructive approach to a solution. Sort of like my day job. 
#4. So if it’s not about raiding, what is it about?
Well, it’s partially about raiding. Raiding is one thing I do in MMORPGs, along with PvP, craft, interact socially, and so on. The games are so much more than, well, just games, and this blog is my attempt to explore that. As I post more, “what it’s all about” will become much more apparent.
