Burning Crusade is here!
Posted on January 16, 2007 by Brian under Games.
For those of you that are not rolling in the cool crowd, “Burning Crusade†is the latest expansion for the World of Warcraft MMORPG. If you don’t know what an MMORPG is you should really stop reading now because it will only confuse you.
I have been looking forward to this expansion since I first started playing. I got hooked on WOW with a few people I work with. We started a small guild, then merged with a bigger one that eventually merged with a bigger guild that finally went tits up and disbanded and now we are back to the glorious Pwndock Saints. I finally got a character up to level 60 (at the time that was the highest you could go) and then started PVP-ing to get good gear and make my character more powerful. Now that the expansion is out I have to level another 10 levels to get to the cap and start the work over again to get my elite gear. I will be participating in Raids and other large group events to insure that I get a great selection of gear that will make my warlock a force to be reckoned with. I am actually looking forward to playing the game as once I reached the 60 level I was worried that I was going to get bored. So far they have made it to where you have so much to do that it is almost impossible to get bored. The game is designed to have no end. You simply grind out levels, if you have a character that has done everything and is the top of its class; you simply create another class of character and do something different. A lot of the quest and gear are specific to a particular class like Warlocks, Mages or Warriors.
It’s remarkable that there are over 8 million people playing this game all over the world. So far I have run into children as young as 10 years old playing this game and today when I picked up my copy there was a very large man that looked to be in his 40’s picking up his copy as well. I probably won’t get to 70 as fast as some of the other people in my guild. But that’s because I have a life! You know the kind of life that provides me with a wonderful wife that lets me indulge in this kind of activity as long as it doesn’t interfere with the real world and suck me in to the point that I am doing nothing but playing the game and not having stupendous, wonderful sex with her. Cause I know for a fact that some of the 8 MILLION other players are not getting laid (masturbation doesn’t count).
So now that I have left you with a wonderful image of a 40 year old fat man sitting at a home built computer with more processing power than the human brain and a 32 inch LCD screen with picture in picture (so they wont miss there episodes of South Park while playing wow) in a dark basement in his mothers home in nothing but a robe, a stained tank top, boxer shorts that say “Once you go Horde you never get Bored†and a pair of “Incredible Hulk†Slippers that have the Crunch sound destroyed by his fat fucking feet…..I think my work here is done.
Happy Gaming!!!
