I could probably sell the account but there is always that chance that i have time to play again, i want to try the expansion when it comes out, but i don't want to level up to 60 again so thats one of the reasons i dont' want to sell the acount, i could probably get $1400 easily for it due to having naxx/aq/ geared priest/warlock/warrior.

but yeah.. bad bad bad bad bad

bad

there is also a chance that you'll get pulled into the game again and not be able to get out. You might miss spending times with your kids to sit in front of a bunch of fansy colored pixels.

heed your own advice from post #17

The reason I have not played alot of video or computer games. Is because of my son. I want to spend the most time with him. He is the best and I want to try and make the biggest impact on his life. No I don't want to make a mini me. I just want him to do better then I did. So I play a few hours when he is taking a nap.... Or just surf the net. I love my son alot.

Score for Tauni!

But to the actual thread topic. I was just thinking to myself, I don't even understand games like this. Whats the point of playing a game you can't win? Its like this game my brother plays. Guild Wars. Half the time I see him playing he is running aimlessly thru woods, and stuff. Call me boring, but where's the fun in that? I guess I've just enver seen the point. My friend Steve will spend all night sitting up playing this stupid ass game and lives off Monster Energy drinks. I don't get it. Its like arguing with someone you can never win against. There's no point, so why bother? I don't want to sound like a hater; I have plenty of friends who play games like this, I just don't think I could ever apply myself.

Read the blog that Matt linked in the beginning. Maybe you will understand then, I however dont. I cant get into this stuff either.

Tauni · 10-20-2006

I did read it. And I still don't get it. I can waste hours on the net reading car stuff, but I can't waste hours getting pissed off knowing I'm playing a game I'll never win, no matter how good at it I am.

That is the point. Good thing you can see past it.
