  1. Re:Luckily. on The End of Indie Retail? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I noticed this while going shopping at a mall the last trip i made. Besides the stores having a few different items there wasn't much of a difference.

    People flock to lower prices and huge stores can give that over mom and pop stores.

    Atleast it's illegal to have Walmarts in Rhode Island

    Apparently no one taught you to not use vulgar language to make a point. There are some situations you can't get out of with out fighting. There however is never an argument where you need vulgar language to make your point.

    I agree with you. I just played Mario Kart DD for the game cube 8 players at a post Thanksgiving party. I had so much fun just throwing blue shells when I was behind. The energy of the room was crazy. Everyone was having a good time even the girls and guys that weren't that great at video game got to laugh when their blue shell hit the first player and slowed them down, or when they got a lightning bolt and watched everyone get slowed. We also played Super Smash Bros. Melee and that was a lot of fun for everyone as well. Then later as the party died down we finally played some Soul Calibur III for the PS2, which technically could have been played on the Game Cube as well. I think Nintendo just makes the best multiplayer games when it comes to consoles.

    Before the Revolution was announced I didn't think I was interested in this next wave of game consoles. Now there is a possibility that I might get one this time around. I practically bought my PS2 because it was my first DVD player. Though I've gotten my worth out of it with RPGs.

    Microsoft is under some crazy dellusion that this is some hook into the household which will bring more fish in. Really, it'll just bring gamers who are only loyal until the next gotta-have game pops up on the next revolutionary console.

    M$ is not under any dellustion. It's called marketing. They're trying to sell it off to non-gamers, most likely the parents of gamer kids, showing it can be used as a multimedia machine.

    For one WoW does give benefits like rested xp for though who don't play the game all the time. This makes it so you can actually level faster per hour spent on the game than a person who plays all the time.

    When it comes to skill take school for instance. If you study more (spend more time on it) even if you aren't the best student you can get better grades. This makes sense that WoW is set up this way. It more so reflects the real world. The more time you spend typically in the real world the better more skilled you get at them. For example playing an instument you get more skilled with time.

    You don't need to be the top rank in WoW to enjoy the game. If you wanted that top rank wouldn't you assume you'd have to put more time into the game to get better at it.

    There are other aspects of WoW that actually DO award naturally skilled players. I for one was a level 41 warlock on a PVP. A lvl 42 and lvl 43 tried to "gank" me because I was leveling in one of the best places to gain experience and they wanted the spot. I was able to kill both of them and continue gaining xp. While they had to run across the map to get their corpses before they could try to kill me again. Effectively they wasted more time because they were not as skilled.

    I'd also assume in battle grounds, which I haven't played yet, that since you're working with a team that skill would be awarded as you'll have a higher chance of winning in the battle ground.

    No one becomes the best by being lazy. No one becomes the best with out practice and time. So maybe there are certain skills you have in WoW and you gain benefits like killing harder things and gaining xp quicker. But certain skills in the game reward time and you already stated you don't spend enough time in the game. So shoot for the rewards you can get with out sinking your time into it. Also don't be jealous of those who have time. You've choosen your life of marriage and knew that it takes time too. Honestly I'd be happy you're not in your parents basement and worry less about a random rank in a video game.
