My younger BIL is very into World of Warcraft. What I really want to get him for Christmas is a T-shirt customized to his character (guild, alliance, etc.). However, I have run into a serious snag - I have zero information about his character. And this is not for lack of trying! I have used all my Interweebs stalking skills to try and find out ANYTHING that would be helpful, with zero results. He mentions absolutely nothing about his WOWing on Facebook or Twitter. I can't find any friends on either of those sites that I can either positively identify as people he knows through WOW or who are close enough to him that they'd know anything about his character. I've tried to find him on the main WOW message boards. I've tried to find him on the message boards for his favourite WOW podcast. Alas, the dude has made himself totally stalker-proof, WOWly speaking. AUGH!

So the very least I can do is to whip him up a hat and do "<AFK>" in duplicate stitch at the front. It's a pathetic backup plan to my original cool gift idea, but it's all I've got at this point. (Well, that plus a few other geeky gifts that should tickle his fancy.)
