Do you ever feel trapped?

I am not an advocate for World of Warcraft, but there is just something about killing people that gives me that little tingly feeling. Blizzard is usually full of content that last for ages and just keeps feeling like something new, probably because they want to develop something to sell that feels that way. Looking at http://worldofraids.com/ I realized that even Blizzard is starting to run out of quality material. You log onto their servers and every once and a while there will be a newb or two hangin out to gank but whats the fun in that? I dont feel like paying $15 a month just to gank a noob or two and attempt to have the best gear in the game (which isnt that difficult anyway). In essence if you are really good at conning 13 year old children into doing what you say then you too can succeed in the World of Warcraft.

Flying in the Sky

Like a kite in the world of Gears of War 1 or 2, you would think that if they made a game and added improvements they would take out exploits and cheats from the previous installment. But the wonderful people of Epic thought that it would just make prepubescent boys just thrive in it like Halo 2 with way better graphics. But they have actually opened their eyes to making a competitive game (new terms now a days for fps?) and decided to improve the existing game and get rid of the exploits. Yes you heard right a company actually is planning to put in a half decent patch that should have been found in beta testing. I thought Gears of War 1&2 was pretty excellent storyline wise and gameplay, visually appealing as well. But then you get online and get totally served by MLG kids screamin their heads off about how good they are while they use exploits to fly around the game, or chuck a infinite amount of smoke grenades.



Just picture some kid cackling with a sniper rifle and head shotting you from across the map while he is flying 30 feet in the air like superman. Ya not very... fun? This went on ever sense Gears of War 1 was out, it reminds me sooooo much of Halo 2. But I am looking forward to trying out this supposedly fixed version of Gears of War 2, maybe it shall redeem its self.

So there I was

Sitting in my big fat couch that aint worth a damn. Recently I went to a website called MMORPG.com, I go there from time to time and read up on the forums like any other normal fanboi of mmo's. Though the real fan boi would rather die of starvation and blue balls before attempting to close out the game. Ah yes the fanboi of MMORPG.com is a tricky thing to deal with. Here's a list of things that would qualify you as a fanboi for game X.

1.) Go to MMORPG.com daily, maybe even weekly.
2.) Read every forum post made within the past five hours.
3.) In those posts look for any inconsistancy that would put the poster at fault, give you the opportunity to defend w/e game you are currently fan boi'ing.
4.) Claim in that post you made that you have extensive experience in following the development of the MMO, but when accused of being a fanboi decline to assumption and say you only follow the development out of pure boredom.
5.) Hype up your game before it "Launches", but when the launch fails be sure to point out that there is no such thing as a perfect launch.
6.) After you realize that the MMO was misleading you find the next upcoming MMO and start back at step 3.

I have been a fanboi of the fanboi's for a while now. Its hilarious to watch them move from game to game and turn from trolls to fanboi's and then to troll's again. Its like back in middle school when you saw some kid that had a big backpack and you called him gay. Then when he offered you his lunch he all of a sudden became super gay, he even checked out your ass back there at the lunch line. Damn sorry got off track I was thinking of hot asians. Anyway the point is that not everybody needs to be a fanboi of a game, but you can be a fanboi of the fanboi's.



Oh yea dont forget you need to write a "review" (aka essay to parents about wasted money) when your game fails like a hunter without tranq shot at MC. Example: Exibit A
