World of Warcraft: WTF
« on: January 31, 2009, 11:04:13 AM »
I just started playing on a private server to spend time with my son who is back in FL.

This has got to be the most redundant grind-fest ever.

People actually pay $15/month/account for this tripe and grind their way to level 80?

HOW TO PLAY:

"Collect X number of Y parts of creature Z." and repeat 12,835 times.

WTF indeed! It's crack. Back away slowly. :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Hardly.

Addictions tend to have a modicum of pleasure to them. WoW is  just mind-numbing.

Oh I totally agree. My husband thinks otherwise ;-)

I just roll my eyes and be thankful we have two computers.

Some people like the battles. That party can be understood, but the tedium of some of that stuff is just suicide-inducing.

I like sci-fi better than fantasy anyday

It's the interaction.  I loved the game cause I played with some cool people.  I stopped playing the game after I found out those people where douche bags.  The actual game itself really didn't mean much.

Only game I've played online was Combat Flight Simulator 3, and I didn't care about interacting with people, unless interacting meant blowing 'dem scumbag summamabitches outta the sky.  :evillaugh:

I'd rather play TF2.

And it's free, except for buying the game itself (hint: get the Orange Box).

Creepy.

You've never seen the episode?

For us Southpark fans that have been there since the beginning, their graphics have come a LOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGGG way.  :-)

That was a pretty funny episode. S/P is one of those "married sex" things -- it is great when I do it but I can't seem to get enthusiastic.

MSB, your statement reminds me of a Star Trek TNG episode where the entire crew became addicted to some stupid assed video game.


Kev, Soutpark is OK, sometimes, but it's also mind numbing..... :tongue:
