Fairly often I am annoyed at the amount of time Nick spends playing computer games. Mainly because it comes off as a threat to the precious little time we could be spending together instead. However, lately my reservations have lifted, and quite abruptly to my own surprise, especially since most of the time our options are limited to either crashing in bed after late night work/study, which is most of the time, or having some down time once at home in the evenings. But, I figure it's probably time I let him enjoy *and free of guilt* this enigma to his heart's content, World of Warcraft. Strangely, this admonition came to me after walking in on him the other day in the midst of this game and saying to myself, "Wow, that actually looks pretty cool." I think I winced at the sound of my own thought. What can I say folks, the threat runs deep.
Apparently, it also sounds pretty cool. I literally spent ten minutes listening to Nick play WoW with his buddies last night, and what I heard wasn't short of entertaining:
1) Anyone know how to pick locks?
2) I think you just pulled one like "Peppy La Pew"
3) Shutup and take that!
4) There's a box over here, d'you want it? Ooh... and armor-lift-leggings.
5) Can anyone use scrolls?You know, scrolls of strength?
6) Where's my cape of intellect!?
7) I got to hit something! Yay!!!
8) Ha, I can use that when I get to level 37.
9) I just killed a bunny because you insulted me!
10) Oh this is that fun one where that lady comes out and stones us right?
Crap, I want some Scrolls of Strength. Maybe it's time I place my prejudices aside and learn to play as well. Hmm...did I actually say that?

The lady doesn't come out and stone us -- she comes out and *stuns* us :-) And yes, you should join the masses and play! If you're a druid, you eventually even get to turn into animals!
But, but...it sounded so much better to get stoned by someone. Actually, I really thought you said that, but I anticipated from the other room it might become distorted.
Oh and druids rock! They sound like animagi! Sweet...
Hahahahaha, that was awesome!!! I'm teaching Katelyn to play Portal now, and I eventually hope to train her as the ultimate femme fatale of Counterstrike.
Hehehe...I really thought it was quite entertaining ;-) You and Katy should also learn to play WoW as well since it is actually kind of, you know, um..wow.
Such a bad joke attempt....
Wait a sec, are you meaning YOU played through Portal as well? Cool...
WOW that is not what I meant. It was entertaining in regard to what I originally posted about. Actually, all the comments were also entertaining. But Portal would add to my coolness though, don't you think?
After all, it's never too late to expand a portfolio...
