Ramblings of a Madman
Greetings fellow Interneticans,
Welcome to another addition of Cin’s Good idea’s, bad ideas. Today we look into the wonderful World of Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games or “Warcraft” for short, ((Editor- Don’t you mean MMORPG’s) (Cin - No)). As you may know, the internet will allow you to browse numerous websites, shop for items on Ebay and hack Faye’s website, but did you also know it can be used to play games? That’s right, you can play games online with all your friends where you can be a brave hero, explore forgotten realms or simply run around in small circles screaming ‘oh god oh god, we’re all going to die’. There are a number of uses for these games, chief among them being procrastination. So without further ado here’s today’s Good idea, bad idea!
Good idea: Playing an on-line game with friends in moderation to improve your social skills, team building ability, hand eye co-ordination and keyboard skills.
Bad idea: Obsessively playing WoW, communicating using fragmented mutations of the English language and refusing to log off until the till server kicks you off at 2am in the morning for a server reboot. Then proceeding to watch two 45 min long episodes of Firefly and the Serenity movie.
Seriously, what the hell was I thinking? It was a time of the night where cats and party goers would be passed out and yet I thought it would be a good idea to sit through 4 hours of sci-fi footage. I’m now in work muddling my way though the day in a zombified state looking for brains. Specifically mine, as it seems to be missing. Plans for tonight include a) finding my bed b)collasping and c) making sure I haven't collapsed on the cat, although at this point I'd settle for just B. On the plus side I had to deal with a user with the name of Dickon Love, this should be added to the case why some parents shouldn’t be allow to name children.
