I've noticed throughout all my years, which isn't that many to begin with, that everyone has enjoys a little guilty pleasure in the realm of
Geekdom. Famous
celebrities have admitted to indulging in a little Dungeons and Dragons. Some of my friends, who upon looking at them, would have never given the impression that they are hardcore gamers or enjoy a little nostalgic
NES playing.
For some reason, most people, my own mother included, will deny it to a point or will not openly exclaim that sometimes they do enjoy being a little geeky. I just find this observation amusing even if it is a generalization.
I haven't been playing World of
Warcraft lately. When I first started playing my friend told me that it's like having a second
job, only you don't get paid and your girlfriend gets mad at you sometimes. Totally true for the record. I only play about once or twice a week now and if you take like a week off you'll miss a lot I've learned. It's an extremely fun game, but you have to rely on other people to know what they are doing as well as do your own
research. That's a lot of damn work for a game.
I just finished Dragon Age: Origins last week and I must say, the game had a great story. To me, this was really the only part that
separated it from any other
RPG (yes, I know that to be in a genre you need certain elements but you can still
separate yourself within that genre). I was a rogue and had the same helm for the entire time except the first few hours of play. There were
definitely things that were left to be desired but that's just me. I'll be telling you more about my thoughts on Assassin's Creed II soon.
An ethical question (sorta)...is it "selling out" if I allow ads to be on this thing?
Meh, Peace!
