Sucked In!

WOW! Yes… that’s right… Wow. Or more accurately: WoW. As in: World of Warcraft. After many, many years of purposely not playing World of Warcraft, I feel like I’ve finally got sucked in. My so called friends decided that I need to play, and so like the dealers of internet smack that they are, sent me a “free” trial. Yeah… there’s nothing free about this 10 day trial, I’m afraid. I’m going to play it, I’ll get hooked, because my awesome Dwarf Hunter will be 2 levels away from being able to get a pet (I’m hoping for a T-Rex, though I’ve been told that I can only get a Raptor) and the system will cut me off. “Sorry, that’s all you get. You’re done…. Unless you PAY for it.” This, of course, is followed by a wicked maniacal laugh. I will have no choice in the matter any more, for like the metaphorical drug that it is, I will have lost the will to not play any more, and I will spend 15 US dollars a month just to get to Level 60… because that’s what the game is all about. Then I will say “Level 60 isn’t high enough… I NEED to get to level 70!” And so I will go out and buy the expansion pack… I’m already crying myself to sleep in the fetal position, wishing that I could purge my system of WoW. Andrew and Mike: You are both pure evil.

Right now I’m just grateful that $15 US is pretty much $15 CAD. I guess it was only a matter of time. Once the Star Wars MMORPG based around 4000 BBY* which is being designed by BioWare comes out, then I will have no choice to play that either. Wookiee Scout, here I come!

*BBY: Before Battle of Yavin, or Before “A New Hope” which is what people who don’t know what Yavin is, or A New Hope is just refer to simply as Star Wars. As in the first one… but not Episode 1.
