The Cake is a Lie? Good one. I would suggest changing it later to "It's a cold day for pontooning" later on, to avoid spy infiltration.

*Stands up* Hi, My name is Megan, and I am addicted to World of Warcraft.

I uh...have been playing on and off for about five and a half years now. I own two computers, both have the Burning Crusade and the Wrath of the Lich King expansion packs. My husband and I always play together...it's a vicious cycle.

*clears throat nervously, sips from a glass* My highest toon, er...sorry, hate to throw in the gamer jargon, force of habit...My highest level -character- in-game is my pride and joy, the reason for my addiction. Theae, level 72 Priest. She's Holy specced, built for raids. Twinked out in Northrend gear, she's sleek, dependable, with a massive mana pool and enough Spirit to regen enough MPS to heal TWO tanks. Her Tank Somanas and her solo raids built for ten people on a regular basis. He's invincible as long as her HOTs keep his bar full. I've seen him pull mobs that would wipe a team out in less than thirty seconds, and once his rage bar is full, it's OVER for the mobs. His aggro is insane, often enough to keep hate on him even surpassing the always-despised Healer Aggro that is the bane of all Priests everywhere. Even stacked HOTs and heavy Shadow DPS won't tear them off his ass.

My goal is to have 45k of mana once she hits the level cap, and it won't be hard once she's decked out in full end-game Purples....Yeaaah...

*snaps out of it* Wha-...oh. Sorry, what was I saying?

Ulaven and I had eighteen level 70s or so...Horde and Alliance, roleplay servers, Feathermoon and Argent Dawn, before we got bored and wandered off...

Actually his account got hacked and he lost his gear and by the time he got it all back from Blizzard we'd moved on to EQ2.

Shadow priest, baby.

A lot of fun though. At level 70 Ulaven and I took our warlocks together to go do the final quest for the epic mount...duo in Scholomance is just..****. REVENGE!

Alright. What is this, like a support group?

My name is something I'm not quite ready to give out just yet, and I'm addicted to Roguelikes. A roguelike is a particular genre of game generally characterised by one or more of the following - it's a single player game, the graphics are almost always ASCII-based, the combat system is turn-based rather than real-time, the dungeon levels are randomly generated every time you play and you get one life. Period. You can save your game, but if you die your save also gets erased. It's like one of those rock-hard NES games like Contra or Gradius.

We -just- ran Scholo a few hours ago.

The new patches are amazing, if you want achievement points, you actually HAVE to do the lower level raids. We're blowing through them in record time, screw the LFG channel, we'll do the damn thing ourSELVES.

I love me a warlock. The squishy mana suck kind=not good, and I refuse to heal an over zealous Rogue, and don't even THINK about asking me to join if you're a Death Knight...but for sheer evil face-melting DPS, warlock ftw.

Edited to add: Succubi are HAWT.

Contra was wicked. Although for cheap thrills I'll take a zombie game, anyday. Resident Evil Zero scared the pants off of me and probably still would were I to play it again.

Support group and also a side room probably with sound proofing. It gets raucous.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun.

Very Ironman.

Ulaven's Warlock was female. He always goes for the chick if he can. He says if he has to look at an ass all day, it might as well be a nice one.

Succubi were weak as hell though. I always went for the Felguard.

I almost NEVER grouped. I'm a hard-core solo player. If it can't be soloed, I won't do it. I play a lot at work - so I'm afk a ton.

Oh, I wouldn't have specced Demonology in a million years pre-WotLK, but they still LOOK good. It's a damn shame they didn't make the tree with the most badass potential into the most badass until right-just-now. You know Infernals won't break free anymore, right? -And- they're actually useful?

For the sake of the achievement points, we -have- to group these days, but almost every single BC and under dungeon we can do ourselves. Right now I'm enjoying the extra cloth drops to Tailor into greens for Somanas to disenchant for good AH gold.

Oh! Trees! I miss the old Dark Age of Camelot tree pets. The sound was indescribable.

"Raaaabbbltyahrabbledeyahrabblediyah UR!"

But I tried. I can't find a Youtube link and that makes me sad.

Aww! I wanted to see that, too. :-/

For me: Murlocs. Best verbals of any mob in-game in WoW. The best looking mod are the giant black widow spiders that look like....black widow spiders the size of your family car. They are so creepy with their skinny pointy legs and shiny, faintly swollen sort of gluttonous thorax...If I saw that in real life I would shit myself and die.

In that order.

Oh, the murloc song.

DISCLAIMER: This song is seriously a catchy-as-hell earworm. You will hate it because you will love it so much.

This one is set to Warcraft graphics. "Re: Your Brains"

My ex ex gave me a year of pogo and I have renewed it a couple of times. It's a game site that has about any kind of game you can imagine. Every week you can win badges in certain games. Some are stupid but some games there I really like. Like spades, the golf games, monopoly, poker, and bowling. And backgammon. Desert Rose is a pro at backgammon.

I did buy a membership just so I could play Mahjong Garden and Hog Heaven slots.

Also, unrelated but on the zombie topic:

"No More Kings" featuring Troy.

I requested their CD for my birthday. I LOVE them.

Warcraft, is it? Well, then...

*deep breath* My name is Christopher, and after two years I've never had a character over level 42.

Yes, I'm a horrible, horrible altaholic.

But I have the Deadmines and Wailing Caverns down SOLID.

Oh, and there's a ton of Jonathon Coulton machinama at Spiffworld.

 

[myinnerslut]

i am a new recruit to the world of rpg, and i am loving it. we just finished a d+d game, in which i took my character all the way through 20th level. freaky powerful, that.

some great inside jokes came out of it.

 

[FurryFury]

I've never paid to play online but I have played online in some role playing games. For a while it was bliss.

I am an altaholic. I MUST have every skill.

Right now that's why Final Fantasy is so cool. You can have one character that does everything. You just go to your Mog house and change your class and your character is suddenly level one of a new class.

It's very cool.

Because with me having to do every class, explore every race and do every craft, it gets to be time sink and usually after three years I'm still dicking around at level 30. But level 30 in EVERYTHING.

That's part of the fun. My husband and I have a ton of catchphrases and situational humor.

"Oh my god, do you remember that first time we learned that casting fear on spiders in Guk was a bad idea! We were laughing so hard like - look at him run! And then he brought back all his spider friends and there was screaming and death in seconds? Yeah. That was funny."

 

[Arkhilokhus]

I'm the same way. It's a bit like exploring. Just like I want to uncover every little area on my map, I just want to try every class and ability (although I HATE pet classes - no multitasking ability).

 

[WriterDom]

Hog Heaven Slots. Yeah, I won 100,000 tokens there on one spin. On her fucking name.

I love the pet classes. Anything that can tank and heal is good with me. Cabalist in Dark Age of Camelot was the first to cap, Hunter in WoW first to limit, druid in Everquest first to cap.

Sometimes it's like pulling teeth though. When I start to groan because it's "their turn" and I wanna squirm free.

One trick pony classes annoy me. Wizards that can only nuke, rogues that are dead unless they hit their one-shot.
