Weapons of Mass Distraction
Oh blog! Long time no see!
I have been preoccupied lately, you see...
Susceptible as I am to shiny new computer games, I have now been lured into the enchanting and addictive World of Warcraft.
There are endless places to explore, numerous FREAKING SCARY monsters to kill/avoid/run away screaming from, adventurous quests to embark on, pretty characters to inspect/flirt with/dance with, and of course, the tempting, addictive, all-consuming need to attain the next level. I can soooo understand how this game can become too addictive to people who lack self control. And who lacks self control? Certainly not me... Haha. :p
The previous game I was playing, Maple Story, is veeerrry veeeerrrrry different. It is a land full of cute monsters, adorably cute characters, cute little pets, and cute 2D terrains to explore.
See for example, Exhibit A.
My cute little Lvl 30 warrior in Maple (wearing a cute Japanese hat) vs. my noobie Lvl 16 Night Elf druid in WoW (wearing clothes I obviously can't afford and am not high enough in level to wear)
Exhibit B.
My brother's cute little Lvl 75 crusader in Maple vs. his ugly ass Lvl 19 Orc hunter in Wow (again wearing too pretty, too ex, too high level clothes)
Exhibit C.
Monstarrrrs! Maple Monsters come bouncing towards you and make cute little sounds when they die. WoW Monsters, on the other hand, come at you snarling, and THEY DRAW BLOOD. Man... are they scary. So I spend a significant amount of time hiding, or running away in fear. Ahahaha...
My Heroes Ep 5 download is crawling slower than a snail. Only 20% done and it's been downloading for 8 hours!!! o_O
