Goodbye WoW...

I made the decision a couple days ago. I'm going to sell my characters on WoW and leave that world behind. So many hours wasted...and for what? Well, when it comes right down to it, good times and epic gear. Still, that only goes so far. Once the next expansion is released your gear becomes obsolete, and so the cycle continues. Not only that but I enjoyed getting drunk while raiding, and I liked to raid a lot. Those two addictions were getting out of hand and too closely intertwined.

Surprisingly I'm still saddened by this choice, I did make a lot of online friends in that world. With the next expansion being released the temptation to continue adventuring is stronger than ever. It just took so long to become 100% aware of how much time is wasted playing it and how much life flies out the window.

Besides, there will still be other PC games to waste time with...but much LESS time.

Still waiting for new PC games

Lately I've had time to do more things aside from playing video games. Why? Well, there's not much being released lately that is appealing. Spore is out right now and while I'm tempted to buy it...I'm not going to. This game is an ingenious idea, but the reviews on it have been mediochre for the most part. The game seems like a huge time sink as well, which I don't feel like getting into. That's a weird thing to say, coming from a WoW player.

Actually, I haven't really played that either for about a month.

Metaboli.co.uk is a site I signed up on a few months ago. You're charged about 24 bucks a month for access to a bunch of PC games. Some old, some new. I think I've about run out of games on that site to play that I can genuinely get into. Lately I have really been wanting my Diablo fix so I had been researching diablo clones and played Titan Quest for awhile. I uninstalled it yesterday.

I've been searching and searching for an elusive title that never quite made its debut called Mythos. This was supposed to be some kind of a diablo clone, but judging from the videos it offered a new feel to the hack and slash genre. They only made a free version which was a beta that I can no longer find on the web.

That's ok, as the holiday season looms ever closer I am certain I'll be posting more often. Or maybe not, that depends on if these promising upcoming titles immerse me enough. At this point even a demo of Fallout 3 would satisfy me!

Console gaming is out for me right now. My PS2 is busted, Gamecube is just old, and of course we know what happened to my Wii. It got ripped off.
