A Little Chuckle for the WoW Fans

[satindesire]

The characters of this play are Myself, and Sir.

Scene: Four in the am. Dark, silent bedroom. A sleeping figure stirs beside another in the bed.

Sir: (Groggily) "I've got too much cheese."
Myself: (waking up) "What, honey?"
Sir: (mumbles) "My bags are too full of cheese."
Myself: (confused) "Are you talking about our game? The Darnassian bleu cheese?"
Sir: (more than half asleep) "No, Dwarven Sharp."
Myself: (realizing he's dreaming) "Oooh, I see...okay honey...You have too much cheese."
Sir: (groggily) "Yeah. I've got too much of it. Do you want some?"
Myself: (amused) "Okay honey, sure. I'll take some of your cheese."
Sir: (still dreaming) "Open your trade window up, okay?"
Myself: (rolling eyes and laughing) "Go back to sleep daddy."



This is when you KNOW your partner plays TOO MUCH WoW!!

P.S? The previous scene was a TRUE STORY.

The End.

That's pretty funny. Use to play evercrack with my wife all the time. We had a great time doing it. We had a few of these stories as well. Its pretty funny when it happens.

I played a barbarian warroir from northern Halas and she played my female human healer. One night she said I woke her up yelling...Heal me damn it!...Heal me! I'm going to die!

She realised what was happening and she reached out and touched my shoulder and said I already healed you...and I mumbled....oh...then rolled over and slept.

lol.

 

[satindesire]

XD!

Hilarious!

 

[Athanasia]

You are not kidding it will eat your soul...until i met my Master, i played this game everynight for about 4 hours. i have a priest, a warlock, a hunter, a mage, a druid and now with the expansion pack i have a Dranei shaman. But since October i have not been able to play because my computer specifically will not support the game for some reason and i can't play it just yet. Waiting to get my tax check back so that i can possibly buy a new computer, since mine IS 4 years old now. i love WOW best computer game i've ever played. Can't wait to get back into it, although i won't be playing it as much as i used to

I tried WoW recently, and I really liked it a lot. I had gotten a 10-day pass from a friend. Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to pay the monthly fee, so I had to give it up. I tried to find free alternatives, and there are some, but they are mostly all full of lag and script kiddies and I just couldn't stand any of them.

Yeah, WoW looks good, but since it costs money, I've stuck to my old time fav. Diablo and Diablo II, they lead to warcraft, which lead to WoW, so ya know, can't b all bad. And once you buy teh game it's free to play online

 

[Drakulya]

My g/f has caught me doing the near same, but from a game called Guild Wars. It dosn't require that stupid fee, just pay for the game, boot it up, and play for free. Hehe, she wondered wtf was wrong with me when I woke up 'running'. Basically, legs kicking, she thought it was some sort of nightmare, sadly, I woke up in the middle of a great battle.

She let it drop though, due to some uhh... excercise.

 

[Athanasia]

ill stick to warcraft III frozen throne. dota map rocks. and...its freeXD

i sadly gave up on diablo when i could no longer run my new character around naked in cow hell lvl and mooch experience. haha

plus maxed magic find on an amazon gets boring.

its all about the fresh character. once you have everything it sucks.

 

[graceanne]

You know, you don't have to do any of those things to have nights like that. My husband has Nightmares. I capitalized the N on purpose. Shortly after we were first married I woke up to him screaming. I rolled over, he was standing on our bedside table, screaming, and opening the window over the table to climb out the window.

I've also had him start arguing with me over the stupidest stuff in the middle of the night. Of course we were newly married, I now know that when he starts that I should just agree and then go back to sleep. I've had to get out of bed a few times when he was sure I should be doing something or the other that was physically impossible, stand outside the door for a few seconds, come back in and tell him I did it just so he'll go back to sleep and leave me alone. One night he said, out of the blue, "That fucking thing is gonna fall, probably on me." I assured him I'd move it, and he went back to sleep. Then there was the night he woke up screaming "Bees!" He wouldn't go back to sleep until I assured him that they were gone. To tell the truth he wakes me up about once a week, but I've gotten so used to it that I don't even wake all the way up anymore. I just wake up enough to agree with whatever, and then go back to sleep. LOL

Ahhh, my World of Warcrack. I am indeed an addict and slave to this game. For those who haven't played it yet and are thinking about it (I see some who are). Some words of advice from someone who has been playing 2 years now.

1. Plan to give up your social life. I'm not kidding.
2. Don't play unless your partner/spouse does, and plays as much as you.
3. If you're looking to save money, WoW is a great idea. You won't go out to the movies anymore. You won't go for drinks or dinner with friends. You will spend $15 a month for entertainment.

I current have:
Lvl 66 Human Warrior
Lvl 60 Undead Warrior
Lvl 50 Human Mage
Lvl 47 Undead Priest
Lvl 43 Troll Mage

 

[-Guardian-]

Vek'Nilash server here.

34 Troll Shaman
24 Troll Hunter
10 Orc Warlock
10 Blood Elf Priest.

Last I heart, Lvl 60 was the max any player could attain...when did that change?

And yeah, I have heard your item #3 before. That's the reason some friends gave me for why they play.

I am wondering if our own leeroy jenkins will be making an appearance in this thread...

I have played Everquest for several years (still raid a couple nights a week) and WoW since it started up (characters scattered over several servers but primarily on Scarlet Crusade). It's a great distraction for when I am bored, in pain, or stuck at the house. It can suck up your time if you aren't careful. I am alot better (and less compulsive) about it now than I was a couple years ago. Although new expansions with increase levels, tradeskills and places to explore doesn't help!

lol, I know the feeling! sometimes I'll be walking by an interesting looking plant and I automatically start thinking I should practice herbalism

I remember going through all of this a long time ago.

Text-based game called MajorMUD. Played in the MUD with my friends for literally days on end, broken only by the need for potty breaks and going to work.

Did it all without any graphics.

Upstream.

Both ways.

<wanders off muttering about "kids these days...">

 

[jadefirefly]

I played EQ from '99 to '03 or so, and Galaxies from '03 when it was released to late '05.

I could fill a forum with the number of stupid things I've said or done, game-related, but my least embarrassing was waking up early one morning, stepping outside for a smoke, seeing a gorgeous sunrise and commenting "I'd like to get a screenshot of that."

My current laptop would probably run WoW, and I'd like to try it, but I can't afford the monthly, nor the lack of time to do my homework.

Chuckles at T.

A lot can be said both good and bad about videos games. There are many who still see it as just a way of wasting time. However, it is big business - with gross revenue of $8 billion a year - outpacing even the movie industry.

For many gaming has become a form of cheap entertainment, and the industry is expanding.

Granted in many ways it is just another form of escapism, but given the choice of watching tv or playing a video game I would choose playing the game. The reason is that you cannot be passive while playing a video game like you can in watching TV. The way I see it people waste countless hours watching TV or some other such thing. With all things being equal along these lines, I think playing video games is no less of a choice for entertainment than the rest of the them.

Perhaps I am biased in that I am due to graduate with my B.S. Degree in multimedia and game design this coming Nov. Come this same time next year I will be smiling making 80 large while I am designing the caves of doom on kitara because 500,000 eagerly awaiting gamers are awaiting its release.
When that day comes I shall ride into work with a horse and a jail-cell for a carraige desguised as candy wagon, and will dance around singing....lolipops, get your lolipops.....allllll freeee today.

Come along little kiddie winkies, come along....

...and as Dr. evil would say....

Muaha

Muahh haaha

Muwahahahaaaaaaaaaa

MUAUAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHWHAHAHAHAHAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My current laptop would probably run WoW, and I'd like to try it, but I can't afford the monthly, nor the lack of time to do my homework.

I remember one of my favorite moments was when I was playing EQ as my Barbarian "SevereDamage" and I was down in SSalthiss(or however you spell that) where the lizzard men are and the pyramids. Anyways There was a guild in the area and they were going after the Avatar of Fear. I knew one of the peeps in the guild and asked if I could come along to watch as I never seen it before.

There were a lot of them and they had three tanks with them. My freind talked to the guild master and introduced me and I was invited along to watch, but told to stay back as this was a guild event. I agreed and went.

So about an hour and 1/2 later there were all were crowed up in that little room preparing to take on the Avatar of Fear, they had defeated the trials and everyone had the neccessary tokens in order to get there and they spawned it. They all got set and I moved toward the back of the room so I could watch. The leader of the guild gave the command to attack and the main tank pulled.

IT WAS ON! Being my first time seeing this I was amazed at the flurry of activity which took place next. Healers let loose in combination healing the tank while the magic users stayed back casting their spells.

Everyone was to hang back because the AoF had an area range attack and if you got caught in it you were more than likely dead.

BOOM! the first tank went down and the AoF charged one of the nearest healers...one hit and WHAM! healer was down. The back up tank jumped in but was not quick enough to prevent the next healer from pushing up daisies. Panic took hold of the group and people began yelling and screaming all over the place! I was just thinking how aptly this demon spawn was named as everyone was now scattering inf total fear. The 2nd tank went down and the thrid tank ran up to it and was killed instantly.

I wanted to act but I agreed to stay out of it and I kept my word until my friend yelled

SD!!!!! HELP!!!!

That's all I needed and me and this big bad boy was gonna dance. I charged in with my doulble bladed hero axe and sunk it deep into the creature's back. It spun to face me towering over me. My adreniline was now pumping and I let the rage of the barbain loose(which meant I pushed the "O" button for my defensive tank skill lol). I braced myself thinking for sure I would be ripped to shreds but the creature hit me and I barely felt it. That gave me all the encouragement I needed and stepped into the beast with another two-handed blow and I dove to the side turning the beast around. It came at me and I knew I had its full attention. With his backed turned the surviors quickly took up their position and the heaers that were left were throwing everything they had to keep me alive.

I danced with that night with the Avatar of Fear for 10 minutes. Standing toe to toe and exchanging blow after blow till finally I split its head into and watch it fall face down in the water at my feet.

I sttod there trying to catch my breath as everyone around celebrated. They came and gave me thanks for saving the guild. The leader of the guild and the other tanks and healers had resurrected and were there at the end.

The leader fo the guild thanked me and said it was only fair I got to share in the treasure and any rare items.

I just smiled and slide my double axe into place across my back and said,

"No thanks...that's not why I did it."

I made a lot of friends that night, and was asked often to join them on future raids many of which I was allowed to MT.

Good times....I miss them.

Spending too much time on a MOO was a contributing factor to me failing out of college.

 

[SpectreT]

Anybody else have Chronic Reroller's Syndrome?

Back in the MUD, I went through about thirty different character race/class combinations, the two I enjoyed most were the Dark Elf Warlock and the Half-Elf Paladin. I stuck with the Paladin. the Warlock's levelling scheme was insane. If I'd kept playing him, he'd have been level 2 by now, I think.

Maybe.

If I'd played him 24/7 since his creation.

 

[ShinigamiSama]

when I was playing UT2k4 and C&C Generals: Zero hour a lot(when I had the time)
I used to run around and say things like: boooom! head shot
and
1 minute remains
and my favourite
nationalism will bring us victory!(thats played when you get an upgrade in C&C when you play China)

but yeah
WoW should have an addictive warning on it...
its worse than weed and booze

though it is funny to see the WoW-tards sometimes
