So Here We Go Again........... I Guess

So I have been out for a little while. I took the drug known as WoW or World of Warcraft, this made me a............. hermit. I played for about 3 months and didn't even feel that I accomplished anything.

Lets discuss the pros and cons of WoW.

Pros
1. You seem to have fun and the game never ends.
2. The game has millions of people playing.
3. There is the richest history or lore behind the game.
4. It is a great game. I know I said it.

Cons
1. You make no difference in the game, ever.
2. You lose a sense of being human, and become the poster child for anti-social hermitting.
3. You never have enough, you have to try to get better gear than everyone else, thats the point of WOW
4. You feel obligated to play the game, like you owe it.
5. No one in the fucking game does fucking anything ever.
6. It's extremely elitist, in the sense that if you don't have the best gear you can't do the things that the people with the best gear do.
7. It never ends and never changes.

These are just a few of the problems with the game I really could come up with hundreds of pros and cons, but I can't bring myself to do it. Needless to say I'm back from WoW rehab and ready to do what I intended to do with this site. In fact in the next few days I will make a review of World Of Warcraft for you all.

Star's Daily News April 23, 2008

Well it is TV Turnoff Week, the National Institute of Health, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, says this is the week that parents should turn off the TV and make their fat children roll about outside and get sunburns and cancer instead of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and asthma. What exactly are these children supposed to do? They have not seen the sun, except maybe on TV and out the car and school windows. Fat kids watch TV and get jobs working in front of computers or on VH1's we love the fat people when they grow up.

In game news, though this has been out for a few days, Fallout 3 will not have a demo. This would not even be given a second thought five years ago, but nowadays we expect to play the game before it comes out, at least a little. Fallout 3 looks amazing but FPSs need demos, they are all hit or miss. Halo 3 seemed good and was for the first few days, but now its die hard fans are on par with WoW player in the sense that they play for no real reason other than they feel some sort debt to the game or maybe that if they are the highest level or that they have the best gear (no Recon armor for anyone) they have accomplished something with their lives. Nonetheless Fallout 3 better be good, or God is gonna start killing every fat kid that did not participate in TV Turn Off Week, with lasers or a ball peen hammer.

Clancy's first written shit heap

Well here I am. A non-gamer writing on my colleague's gaming blog. This lack of knowledge will not, however, keep me from spouting ill-informed opinions to which I will devote little to no thought.

Here's a thing: anti-heroes. When the hell did everyone become an anti-hero? The only characters who come immediately to mind that deserve the hyphenated title are Milton's Satan and Deadpool. Yeah. Not that asshat from Dark Sector "oh shitz some doodz made me a superhuman killing machine and I am sooooooo pissed". Not the salty cunt from prototype- yeah I know thats not even out yet, shut up. "oh shitz some doodz.....". And no, not even the personality-void Kratos from God of War. "I'm different because theres red shit on my face...and because I'm not entirely a good guy". Its getting a little cliche' I think. Maybe I'm missing the point, but this seems like it would fail to impress any form of life more evolved than the common angst-ridden teenager.
