Read that article an...Bacon and tomato FTW! mmmmmm<br /><br />Read that article and had kinda the same reaction. I don't wanna think about that! Gah!<br /><br />But then I did. I it occurred to me... why?<br /><br />Why will it end one day?<br /><br />So asked around. Lots of people play at work. And the answers I got were somewhat interesting. For example, one guy said, "well, because something better will come along!" (There was an implied "Duh" there, too)<br /><br />Really? What?<br /><br />New game play. New worlds to explore. New technologies to make the games better. More interaction. All sorts of things are apparently going to kill WoW off.<br /><br />And the whole time I thinking, "Okay, WoW. And WoW. And yah, WoW. And sure, you could do that with... WoW."<br /><br />Seriously, if Blizzard has plans to "end" WoW they'd be horribly shortsighted. I can think of all sorts of things that could be done to WoW to keep it interesting and fun for years and years. And I'm not that clever. <br /><br />Ending WoW just doesn't make sense in the foreseeable future.<br /><br />Blinders on. Self delusion set. <br /><br />I'm gonna go make a sandwich. Thanks. :)<br /><br />-FriFriday Macfayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488340330212549021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-54591324904069317402009-06-17T23:16:32.638-04:002009-06-17T23:16:32.638-04:00Awww, well, it's really not that different tha...Awww, well, it's really not that different than most hobbies. I know tons of people that sink precious time and money into things when ultimately all they'll have to show for it is the memories and the experience. <br /><br />Enjoy your sandwich and don't worry about the future!KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165100078263150451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-19648312044873617342009-06-17T17:21:15.490-04:002009-06-17T17:21:15.490-04:00Bah.
Hey, when Monopoly ends, do you want it to g...Bah.<br /><br />Hey, when Monopoly ends, do you want it to go out with a bang or a whimper?<br /><br />How about Clue?<br /><br />Or Dungeons & Dragons?<br /><br />I started playing D&D back in 1983 when I bought my red box Basic Set. In just the quarter century that I've been playing (I missed the first 10 years), it's gone through a lot of iterations, predictions of its demise, better days & worse . . . but I'm hanging out with some buddies of mine tomorrow night for a few hours of 4th edition play. It's going to be a blast.<br /><br />Some games (Boot Hill, anyone?) come & go. Others stick around. Millions of players are a strong impetus to stick around. So are dozens? hundreds? Who knows how many employees whose livelihoods are intricately tied to the game.<br /><br />I've never gotten a straight answer from my Magic 8 Ball, so who knows whether or not or how long WoW will be around.<br /><br />But I think it might be a little bit premature to trade your awesome new turtle (congrats!) for Hannah Montana.<br /><br />Not that there's anything wrong with Miss Montana . . . and bacon and tomato <i><b>is</b></i> awesome. Just, you know, so is World of Warcraft. And will be for a long time I think.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440513682491672661noreply@blogger.com
