I asked in my last post for people to help me figure out what to play next. I am a World of Warcraft junky. I am chomping at the bit for Star Wars The Old Republic and need something to peel me away from WoW. I love WoW, but I just want to try something else. I want to make it to max level and see what other games have for me. This is what I came up with.
I am moving and I have no Internet. At this point I am not sure if I am completely done with MMOs. For 7 years they have been flowing in my veins. I know I want to give TOR a chance, but what do I do till then?
The other day, Rivs at his personnal blog shared a story about a dream he keeps having. He looked up the cause of such a dream to figure out why he dreams of big bugs. I would like to share a dream I keep having with you. So, pull up your nappy (British for diaper) and gather around children. Uncle Scary has a dream for you. -fade to black- (odd I’m listening to Metallica’s Fade to Black on the radio)
This is a reply to Reboot!
I don’t know this time feels different. About every 6 months I get bored with WoW and quit for 3 months. If you know WoW you can see the pattern. I stay for 2 patches and leave in between patches. I have always left WoW 3-6 months before a new paid Expansion pack. The game always gets really boring during this time.
Last year I had WAR to test out during my bordom stage and when I got bored again I was busy at work to take my mind off it. This year there is nothing. All the games out now equal suck. I have tried them all and none bring me joy.
There is something wrong with MMOs and their creators lately. They just seem so, blah. World of Warcraft is cool, but predictable. It is the “Avatar” of games. Star Trek Online came out officially today and their whole underhanded microtransaction, piss me off. I will never play or cheer on another Cryptic game. In my eyes, they are worse than Blizzard. They want to be as rich as Blizzard, but can’t wait to have their money, so they put both of their hands in your pockets. I think they need to read the tortise and hare story again. Slow and steady wins the race.
I spend a lot of my reading time on blogs. I love reading the comments the most. Even when I watch YouTube, I love skimming the comments to see what people have to say. Without comments on a blog it seems lifeless. Of course, every post isn’t meant for comments. I am always drawn to post with a 10 or more comments. That way it is not too overpowering and I can jump right in without reading a novel of comments. I like short comments too. When people write their life story in the comment section, I get bored and skip it. Sometimes it kills the whole flow of the post and I don’t even bother commenting.
So, you like doing marijuana? You do it to relax from a hard day at work. You do it to calm your mind. You are so smart it helps you think clearer. You enjoy Cheetos like an orgasm when you are high. That is all cool with me. I really think they should legalize marijuana. Just imagine all the money America would save by legalizing pot. Imagine the money America would make on taxing weed. It has been proven the effects of alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana. Why is such a harmful drug like alcohol legal, but a lesser drug illegal? It doesn’t make sense, but the law is the law.
I’m in rehab for my MMO addiction. The doctor is giving me sex to help cope with the withdrawls. In the room next to me is Tiger Woods. I can hear him playing MMOs while I beat off. I’m not sure if I can hold out much longer. The hot nurse plays with my balls every two hours, but it is not as enjoyable as pew pewing in World of Warcraft.
Week 1 in rehab:
I checked in at the front desk. They gave me plain clothes that were void of any gaming logos. I was sad to see my “Byte Me”, tee-shirt go. The even removed my EA Sports socks. I got to keep my Hello-Kitty boxers though.
You ever lay down on the pavement in the spring? You know the time of year when it is not too cold and not too hot? You just lay down on it and feel the warmth creep up into your body. It is not only the pavement that feels good, it is the warm spring sun touching your face. After a cold winter, it is relaxing to lay down and soak it all in.
If you are new to games that use live chat or real time scrolling text and don’t know what the people around you are saying, this is the post for you. I will cover several words you will need to know to play online games, Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO), Xbox 360 online chat, or Playstation 3 online chat. I know there are several other platforms out there, but I just want to cover the basics for the newbies (newbies: a new person to the game or total dumbfounded player. A person that asks a lot of questions and can’t figure out how to do the simplest quests. Don’t get it confused with N00b. A N00b is a term used by the jerks that think they run a game. They treat anybody new they know like a moron. N00bs are just lost souls that require a bit more help. See blondes for futher information.). I made a lust of the most important words you will come across in an social gaming setting.
