E-Peen and You

Why do you really play wow? and what keeps you playing the game for so long?

As I've said before, playing the game in its intended way usually means doing something over and over again in a very repetitive and unenjoyable manner. So why do you play it? what are the rewards from all your hard work and what are you working so hard for?

I've come to understand that the drive to keep going and the apparent "Addiction" to wow comes from this one thing....




E-PEEN!!



Yes, its all about the e-peen. Imagine a wow that was single player, where your guild mates and arena partners were all just NPC's and your opponents in the arena were just computer generated scripted battles. It's still difficult to get your rating to 2100 and its still hard to get Illidan down in BT. All the rewards are the same in the game and you can still own lesser geared characters. My suspicion is that nobody would play this crappy game! cos wtf is the point of wasting all your life on your character and not even be able to brag about it right?!!

The entire game is pretty much based upon being better than the guy standing next to you, you farm those primals for weeks so that you can be better geared than you were before and the grind continues until the end of your days because blizzard keeps putting out more and more stuff for everyone to keep chasing. And if you ever stop chasing! then what! ZOMG!! The dude next to you is gonna be better geared than you in a week and your gonna lose to him in the next duel!! and therefore his E-PEEN is gonna be bigger than yours!

So keep chasing that carrot fellas! you don't want to stunt your e-peens.....

What the cool kids do

So i went out last Wednesday to a night club called the leederville , now clubbing isn't really my thing but i went along with it cos i was bored at home. Anyhow we rocked up there and met up with a few of my friends mates but really we din know each other too well so after a few simple and shallow conversations we left and din see them again for the rest of the night. After having a look around and finding a good spot to just chill i looked at the all people around me and at the risk of sounding like a jackass, i would now like to talk about what i think these people are really doing here...

Now i'm just an average 21 year old male living in the metro area of Perth, W.A, The only thing that might be different about me to the people i saw around me that night is that i play WOW and im happy to tell anyone about it. The majority of the guys at the club, go to the club in the hope that some sexy babe will walk up to him and tell him she wants to go home with him. I don't have to tell you that this never happens so most of the time the guy is just standing around trying to look cool with his drink in his hand and pretending that hes having the time of his life, when in fact! Hes pretty bored and would probably prefer to be at home playing games on his xbox.

So why do these guys go out every friday or saturday night? Is it because they have awesome fun getting drunk and "chatting up the ladies"? Or maybe it's because they just like to dance? probably not! I can tell you why they go out every weekend... its because "thats what all the cool kids do" yep, they're all just a bunch of POSERS! so yeah, you might tell me im a wow nerd but at least i actually like what i do in my free time! Keep telling yourself that your one of the "cool people", you think your awesome when you turn up at work on monday telling everyone that you got "totally smashed" on the weekend? every monday you go to work and you say the same thing. Let me tell you a secret... NOBODY thinks that your awesome because you stand around in nightclubs PRETENDING to be something your not....

YOUR the ones that need to get a life! So next time, before you make fun us for doing something we enjoy doing, think.... wouldn't YOU prefer to be playing wow too?
