Morning Discussion

Hooray for Wednesday! One day closer to the Team Fortress 2 Sniper-Spy Update, one day closer to the weekend, and one day closer to E3. And while I'm not necessarily looking forward to the haphazardly-organized chaos that a bigger E3 will bring--I still have nightmares about E3 2006--I'll do whatever it takes to see more of Project Trico.

          More like no acceptable reason to call it "frolf."

      I was having dreams last night that I was in an Ulduar raid and we just kept wiping over and over and over. It was getting late as shit, but the other members kept talking me into staying cause they said my shoulders were going to drop next.

      They never did of course, which should ring true for pretty much any WoW player.

      I recently hopped onto our guild's vent server, which I've only ever done for raids, and holy shit, my guild is fucking hilarious. It's like the Shack but in audio form. It's completely renewed my interest in the game!

      Yeah it's a lot of fun. I'd probably still be playing it if a.) my computer wasn't a piece of shit and b.) I hadn't gotten on medication and broke out of my self-created, self-destructive fucking prison. I've lost 6 pounds in the last 30 days also - so that's pretty sweet :) but I still have about a hundred and 6 to go :(

            Doctor: "your obsession is unhealthy, we have no cure yet, however new experimental testing has shown that twitter-stalking celebrities can fill the void that pointing and clicking on monsters can create, to the point where you'll no longer want to play WoW. "

            Phil: "and then won't I be obsessed with stalking semi-famous people's twitters?"

            Doctor: "Oh yes, but we have a cure for that" *pulls out a rifle*

        admit it, if they upgrade the night elf textures you'd be playing in 0.0002 seconds

      When I quit AO I made myself realize how much of my life I was wasting, then sold all of my items to some cred seller. Sold my city and everything else too, then gave up the account to a friend. I still think about the game sometimes, but I haven't touched it in 8 months.

      Arena season 3 did it for me. Glaring balance issues finally broke my addiction. I didn't want to raid anymore and couldn't compete well enough to get good arena gear so there wasn't any endgame for me. I would like to thank Blizzard for freeing up my spare time and thank Valve for taking it away again. I love L4D!

        Same here. I've finished two games (Fallout 3 and RE4 for Wii) since quitting two weeks ago.
