A few times, but I've managed to accidentally shut off general chat in most places... which is just as well, since most of it is anoying useless crap. I am also playing the Alliance right now. When I turn horde, that might make all the difference.
For the record, though alot of us have played RPGs in some shape or form, and a few of us have done the MUDs, none have taken on anything like a MMORPG. That being said:
- August 10th, my friend buys one copy of World of Warcraft.
- By August 31st, NINE more copies are purchased by myself and others
- 4 more copies are purchased within the coming weeks.
I would have to say, yes, MMORPGs are growing.
Also, I don't mind paying the monthly fee, since 15-yr old asshole racists on XBOX Live are now no longer a fixture in my weekly gaming realm. Good people vastly outnumber the opposites by a high margin... but "virtual vagrancy" seems to run very high.
I NEED 1 GOLD!!!!!1111! HELP!!!11!!!:)
I highly doubt that anyone would buy the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Mr. Young (which is something of a local legend and worshipped for his actions with the team) has invested alot of money into this club and has seen a turnaround unimaginable in the Canadian Football League. That, and anyone who was remotely serious about purchasing it would be doing so at a rediculous loss within a year or two.
Here's a bit of sports history (does/. even DO sports history?!). The Hamilton Tiger-Cat football club was the amalgamation of two clubs, the Hamilton Tigers and the Hamilton Wildcats, hence the 'historical' name.
Mr. Young did do this for a bit of PR, no doubt. Tiger Direct doesn't have a leg to stand on... or is that more like a paw?
Yeah, I'm rolling my eyes at that one as well...
Soooo... if I hear a sermon about the 'eradication of evil', can I sue the Church for that same motivation?
Hypothetically, if I play GTA, grab a gun, steal a car and kill someone, shouldn't I also be able to sue Smith & Wesson and Ford for aiding my desire to commit such crimes. I mean, surely video games contribute to crime in the same vein as car availability and weapon availability, no?
I can also sue EB for selling it.
I can sue the whole damn world for my problems.
