I have not touched a console game in a long time, thanks to an old friend getting me to the incredible World of Warcraft. Though I also played console games for a bit after beginning WoW, due to the engrossing nature of this MMORPG, console games have just about completely lost their luster for me at this point. I can play with tons of other people, type and voice chat, make lasting friends, play with my own style, and much more. I put in about, oh, I’d say five to six hours of WoW a day. It used to be about eight to nine hours a day, but the overwhelming excitement at first has dwindled to mostly an unrelenting addiction. I have all ten classes, all at level eighty-five, most of them geared enough to queue for heroics, and I have over seventy days of play time on my death knight alone. I guess WoW is just a comforting (or stressful) vacation from real life, and with by far not the best life, I take vacations rather often.
