How about foil fencing? Who says we don't do sports? My older boy just got his black belt. The difference is I am a grandfather and I am always with my kids. If fact I outran the little one on a Barbie jeep two hours ago.
I had a 60 night elf shadow priest I loved until it got inadvertantly nerfed by the rogue anti-fear trinket.
I used to laugh in the face of rogues :(
That is some great content!
I'm just worried that our country's getting so damn fat. AND, I see a lot of kids who are slaves to their games, be it on the console, at the computer, or with their gameboy on the plane. (I remember when I was a kid flying in a plane meant you go to talk to interesting people from all over the world!)
A mix of real-world sports and games is great - people playing games helps my paycheck! And it helps pay for technology and tools that advance more important things. But playing sports too keeps us from becoming a bunch of pasty-face wankers, so we gotta do that to!
Just as long as it doesn't spread to the actual players in the real world.
(snicker)
Sorry, couldn't help...someone had to say it.
(laughter)
Do that too. Hey, I have an idea. How about doing both!!!??? Then you can claim you're well rounded.
Honestly, sports aren't all they're cracked up to be. Wait... maybe that's cause I'm remembering the time I "cracked" open my chin big-time on some cheap 4x4 goal post that ran up and smashed me in the face when I wasn't looking. Lots of real blood for sure. I guess in retrospect I prefer cyber-blood 8^).
Hmmm, me thinks you haven't played a real MMORPG.
Right now as I am typing this on what I call my right hand Computer, My Left hand computer is logged into a game called Anarchy Online.
This game is a persistent world where the only time it is not operating is when it goes down for patches and maintenance.
The game was developed in Europe but the game servers are in the US.
Right now in that game I am in a conversation with people from seven different countries on three different continents. See in this day and age I don't have to get on a plane and go somewhere to meet interesting people. I just turn on my computer and log into my game and turn on the voice chat system. What is really fun is ribbing each other in game and learning how to cuss in different languages while we fight the bad guys!
Yeah, I hear the complaints about Priests, Paladins and particularly Druids as well. Supposedly, if I knew how to do all the right things at the right times under the right circumstances with my Druid I could rule in PVP battles. But, I pretty much suck at PVP (and don't really care). Then again, maybe if I could push 87 gazillion different button combinations in the span of 1 second like my son does, while simultaneously carrying on chat conversations with 2 other players plus someone in his guild, I'd be better. I truly marvel at the number of in-parallel actions & operations he manages to pull off, and the fluidity and speed at which he does it. Ahh, the younger cyber-generation.
Well, off to try to play my sucky 30 Tauren Druid for a while. Been fun.
If you want to be really cheap, should have done a tauren shaman. Blizzard hasn't nerfed those in forever.
The key to druids is moonfire spam. No cooldown, no cast time. They did nerf it a little. Root, moonfire.
I never really played a druid so I don't know all the intricacies.
Have any of you that play World of Warcraft ever read the forums there, especially the Off Topic one? For the most part it's a vast wasteland of stupidity but sometimes a political topic will be posted and among the mandatory Bush Sucks comments someone will actually say something intelligent. So fess up, which of you are trying to plant a seed of conservatism in the minds of those uninformed kids?
They should have heeded these words of wisdom:
"You can love your pets, but you can't loooooove your pets."
Im on that server! =D
Iron Forge was mass carnage during the outbreak. The splatting blood was pretty humorous. I have not seen an outbreak in a while though.
