What Family? Shit…I had video games.

My uncle called me today, I haven’t spoken to him in at least a year, I was pretty excited. But he got right down to business, mentioning that his two young sons were interested in World of Warcraft. I felt sure that he was calling to see what I thought about the notion, like as far as their health was concerned. This was not the case. He just wanted to know how he could get them playing (and off his back, bothering him about it), without purchasing the original and it’s subscription.

Why the fuck would you let your children play World of Warcraft? This is very well highly hypocritical of me, to anyone that knows exactly how much time I spent on the computer as a young child. And still do today, duh?

I like to think it’s BECAUSE of that, that the thought of plugging 9 year olds into World of Warcraft sounds like a 0% APR, no cash down, lifetime invested tragedy. Hell, who feels the twinges of games pulling at your heart-strings years and years later, not me…nope! *wince*. *Choke*.

haha, not I, Everquest my mother? Counter-strike a little brother?

Mudding was not my imaginary friend, and Whats Heroes of Might and Magic? I had a dad or something. Warcraft sat next to me in third grade, and Dune was the muddy little girl I kissed out on the playground, when nobody was looking. Giant Citizen Kabuto my first naked encounter. I lost my virginity to Diablo 2, in peals of screaming feverish lust over and over again…and moved away from home into an apartment with Dark Age of Camelot. I ran through the woods, screaming and bashing imaginary goblins next to Civilization 2, and soaking my weary body under the stars, blowing smoke with Oblivion and Morrowind.

Lol. heh story-of-my-life? I can’t focus, all that coffee at work, it’s going to my nerves. Should be pouring it in my butt right? I’m sure they’d all LOVE that! What Shari…say you didn’t know this was how we do it these days, oh…no…well okay. Sure, I’ll close up shop, would you mind pulling that coffee filter out first…sorta slipped or something. Ah….yes…thats…what…I…will…do…tomorrow. :P

goodnight blog, goodnight moon, goodnight bear.

    true that. Im always yelling at people (my roomates) for wasting their lives on video games like WOW. But oh boy, ive got some attachment to Civ 2, Warcraft, Starcraft, Duris, Jedi Academy, Halo, Super Smash…… the list goes on and on! Do I try to squash in others what is obviously evil, or did video games make me the man I am today??


  2. it was all the wild euro frisbee shower sex that made you the man you are today….=)
