WOW

So what is so good about the computer game World of Warcraft?

Troy plays WOW and has had it for about a month and he's already on level 40 something. I'm not complaining or asking him to quit because I haven't even noticed a change. If he didn't tell me he started playing WOW, I probably wouldn't even be able to tell. However, if he ever blows me off more than once to play a video game, then I'd start getting a little agitated. Now that I've been hanging out with Troy's friends I begin to realize how WOW has been taking over their lives. Those boys have been staying up till three in the morning to level up or get one more bar (or whatever it is). It's pretty rediculous that some will even go home during breaks to play this game. I'm not saying it's a bad game. I can't judge if it's good because I've never played this game before. But once it gets to the point where you've spent over 500 hours stuck to a computer playing a game, it gets pretty rediculous.

When asking a friend the question what's so good about WOW, he simply replied, "that he can't explain it, you have to play it" and that "you'll like it, if you like gaming". He's currently a level 56 and spent 13 days worth attatched to the computer. I found that pretty rediculous because he'll spend more hours on the computer to obtain the level 70 status.

Nothing really productive gets achieved, except for the pride and joy of saying you have a level 70 taren warrior or orc mage. Oh goodness, they talk about every single day. I think I could bet that they would talk about WOW tomorrow. Alright well I can't really say anything bad about the game because I've never played it. Maybe one day I'll jump on Troy's account and see what it is all about. It sounds pretty interesting, but I don't see how anyone could get so attatched to the game. Don't you get dizzy after looking at a screen for a while, especially if it's constantly moving.
