    Do you prefer using a keyboard and mouse or a controller?

    I use the keyboard and mouse to do everything on my computer. Actually I am a touch typist so I can find the keys without looking. That's why when I play games, I use the interface I am most familiar with, which is the mouse and the keyboard.

    Pandaria Awaits - Blizzard Gives Free MoP to Everyone

    Just checked. I already have my game all up-to-date, include Mists of Pandaria. Funny that I can't remember paying for it. That shows how long I have been off-line, as far as the game is concerned. Now, I think this is a smart marketing strategy on the part of Blizzard. It also gives me the...

    Is World of Warcraft addictive?

    You are right there. I have not really looked at this way. I mean the part where you said people who play WoW for hours and hours on end keep on finding reasons to do so. Perhaps they are just trying to get away from something. So they immerse themselves into the game. And forget all about the...

    Always 13yo ingame

    Thank you for your warm welcome. Now why should the 13 yo part be a bit strange? Ingame, all of us are playing out our fantasies. Boys play girl characters. Girls play boy characters. Nice guys become horde. Tough guys become priests. That's the whole idea about such games. You can choose any...

    Is World of Warcraft addictive?

    Or you can look at this question of addiction from another viewpoint. Look at it as a way to build up your character. You would love to play 24/7 but you control your play time. That strengthens your character. I am talking about your real life character not the character you play ingame.

    Seven days free of game time on WoW

    Good idea. For some people, the subscription may seem excessive, especially those who are used to playing for free. Still, if we look at this from the opportunity cost point of view, it does not seem to be much. Seriously, what else can you do with that sum of money? Have a good dinner...

    Are you in a guild?

    I am in a guild. Or, at least, I think I still am. I mean it's been quite some time since I logged in. This guild is made up of real-life friends. Well, to be exact, they are the friends of my son. All of them are working adults and this game is their hobby. Long ago, I used to be a Guild...

    What do you think of random matchmaking?

    Random match-making can be interesting. It's somewhat like a real-life situation. Let's say, you join a company. That's a whole bunch of people you do not know. You have to learn how to get on with them, how to work with them. And you have to learn to do that quickly. Ingame, random matchmaking...

    PvE or PvP?

    I am more into PvE because I get more than enough PvP in real life. Besides, my reflexes are not that good, so if I go for PvP, I will lose every time. PvE, for me, has quite a lot of attractions. I get to go and explore places. I get to figure things out. It's more a mental challenge. And I...

    Is World of Warcraft addictive?

    You don't need fifty dollars to get started with this game @Dana. Just start with the trial version. That's good for up to level 20. It will give you a better perspective on the game. Now is it really addictive? The way I see it, it's only as additive as you allow it to be. There are some...

    Seven days free of game time on WoW

    Tried it. Didn't work for my account. Apparently my account had already used up its allocation of free time. I can't even remember when that was. @Dana. Don't be scared of getting hooked to the game. It's a great game. I know because I have been playing it for years. There's so much to explore...

    Always 13yo ingame

    Hi, guys, here's an old man coming in to become a General Busybody. I am already past 60 but, ingame, I am always 13yo. Why? 13 is the start of the teenage years. The teenage years are the years of exploration and adventure. And that's what I do when I play a game. I explore and I look for...
