I took the plunge.....
« on: May 21, 2007, 06:30:31 PM »
......into nerdom. Yes, I, the insulter of all things unmanly and the bully of geeks, am starting down the slippery slope to staying inside 24 hours a day. What did I do?, you may ask.

I downloaded World of Warcraft.

that's why WoW is considered evil by me, i don't have much interest on it, WC3 is better imo.

Most excellent.  Come to the geek side!  From here, it's only a matter of time before you start playing D&D and learning to knit your own scarves...

Well, I am truly sorry for you Ryaz and I am sad that this horrid abomination of a game has claimed yet another casualty. Fortunately, some of my other friends are returning to life from the undead...

(I love the Warcraft series up to and including Warcraft 2 Beyond the dark portal but I deem WC3 and WoW as heresy to the canon...)

I used to play WoW on the official servers for a while. Got up to level 23 or the like, but it repeats itself too much to amuse me for long. Well, at least it was free.

I like them stripped red and green with little bunnies on the side.

I used to play WoW as well, but then one day woke up and said,"I need to get my life back." And burned the thing. Good times. Now I play WC3, God of War, and Fable. Much better games.

I'm only playing this until the Warhammer MMO comes out. At least there I can kill people.

Warcraft 2 was the best of them, hands down.  I was ridiculously addicted to that game for a loooong time.

Get out while you're still sober, kid!!
I was an avid raider for a very long time with a level 60 and I did level all the way to 70 with another character...took a lot of my life. My performance in school did not decline, but...I'm glad to have my life back, that's all I'll say.

I can't stand MMOs.  I tried out EVE Online for a week, but once I realized it was

MINE/SHOOT DOWN NPC PIRATES FOR TWO HUNDRED HOURS -> GET DECENT SHIP -> GO TO FUN PVP PART OF THE GAME -> GET SHOT DOWN AFTER TWO MINUTES -> REPEAT

I gave up on it.  I won't even approach WoW.  RPGs make me feel nerdy enough anyway.

lol i played a free trial of eve, the 1st time they gave free times. Loved it. We weren't playing pirates and all, mainly mining,. my personal business was risking my life steal stuff on post-war sites and running away. Made alot of money with that smuggling also gave stuff to a clan, they thought i was a girl and gave me everything. lol

You get a lot of that on RPGs.  A lot of the girls on there are actually guys, because girls get more free stuff from other players.  Makes me wonder when I see someone walk up to a complete stranger and say, "Wanna b my gf?"  Get a life, yeesh!   ;)
