    The airtime of the episode conflicts with the schedule of our raid... too bad :)

  2. Similar Theme by eldavojohn · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maybe it'll be along the same lines as this ad for Warcraft?

    Or, very similar to the Futurama episode where Fry discovers why men are not to date robots through the cheesy 1950s-ish sex-ed film? (humans will fail to reproduce and die as a species)

    That's the most I can gather from the title ...

    Season 10 already has 7 epsiodes. It's just they stop each season half way through to let the animator's wrists recover - this is the first episode after the break.

      If only they recorded the shows rather than airing them live...

    I believe Blizzard are going to drop / has dropped the price for W.o.W. to $19.99.

    Checking places like Circuit City, Best Buy, EB Games, GoGamer, Amazon.com, etc... they are all selling the game for ~ $19.99

  6. WoW Players: Name that Zone by Accipitradea · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What zone are they in? It looks kinda like Hillsbrad, near the internment camp, but I don't recognize the structure. Anyone with better WoW geography than me able to post a screenshot of themselves standing in front of that building? Or did Blizzard give them a private server with unique geography? (TBC zone perhaps?)

      Yeah it's by Dalaran in Hillsbrad / Alterac Mountains. I used to pvp in the zone all the time (before world pvp died to Civilians.)

    I don't play WoW but a friend of mine does. It is as bad or worse then you state. While he hasn't gained much weight, I was disapointed when he would invite me (or anyone else) over and after 3 minutes of bullshiting, he would goto the computer and conduct the rest of the evening with paltalk in the background and going on raids. Sometimes you would need to repeat yourself because the game got in the way.

    I thought it was more or less a joke when his wife started hitting on me directly infront of him saying he wouldn't notice anything outside his game. Then one day, she actualy started playing wiht me in a way that I knew she wasn't kidding and she definatly wanted some attention in certain areas.

    I guess what really astounded me was when on the most recent visit (his wife's kid's from another marriage had his 19th birthday) , with about 14 other people in the computer room (den) he wips his pecker out and starts urinating into a two liter pepsi bottle he recently drank. Looking around, we determined he is too involved to throw them out too. He has droped to working around 2 days a week now but that seems to be enough to pay the bills.

    I used to go hunting and fishing with him all the time. Now, I get a phone call while I'm in the field describing how exciting the last raid was or how someone was fucking with a member of thier clan and he showed them a thing or two. I though about turning the phone off but sometimes I need to be on call incase I have to work. He was given a fishing boat in like new condition by his dad who just didn't have anywere to store it. It got sold to someone else for around $2000 because he couldn't break away from the game long enough to tow it 20 minutes to his house (would have taken about 1 hour total to. go get it).

    WoW is pretty much consuming his life.

  9. Re:WoW is the embodiment of all things wrong by BenjyD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have to agree. I played 30 hours of WoW (level 20 hunter, level 8 Warlock) after reading so much about it. It finally dawned on me that it wasn't going to get any more interesting and that 7 million people really do like playing a game where your time is split between watching your avatar on auto-run and mindlessly pressing the same sequence of buttons hour after hour. It is addictive in that there always appears to be something more exciting round the next corner, but as a game it's terrible.
