So I had this picture drawn by teatime (ftw), and I posted that I'd have it put up just as soon as my dear brother got off his computer. It is now 8 o'clock, and surely it can't have taken 4 hours for him to leave his computer for the 5 minutes it takes me to scan in a picture??

Well now, my brother plays World of Warcraft.

"World of Warcraft (noun) - the name given to the worst game ever devised by mankind. For exorbitant monthly payments it offers a graphically inferior experience and dull gameplay. The charachters and colour scheme are remeniscent of illustrations found in story books aimed at 5 year olds."

I HATE THAT GODDAMN GAME AND HE SPENDS HOURS ON IT DOING THE SAME BLOODY STUFF. I mean seriously, he spends hours on it attacking things where the combat sequence is ALWAYS THE SAME. except sometimes the numbers come up in green or purpe or whatever. And when hes not doing that hes flying around on crappily animated griffin things. I swear to you I will uninstall and snap the disks someday and video the consequences. Freakin Youtube material. So yeah good on you for reading all this because it is basically a rant about that embarrasment that is World of Warcraft. Especially good on you if you play WoW. I'm sorry if I have offended you, but really, you don't need to defend the game because millions of FOOLS like mon frere are playing it right now. and paying for every second of it.

I just don't understand the attraction of it. One of the arguments for it is that its sociable. WHAT THE *SWEARWORD?!?!* typing disjointed senteces to randomers masquerading as orcs or goblins or [generic unoriginal fairytale charachters] is not sociable. I have a 360 with xbox live which even comes with a microphone but I don't count that as sociable.

GARRRRRRRRRRRRRR and he wants to buy some ridiculous expansion pack that's coming out wich is basically more of the same. "EXCEPT U GET TO ADVANCE TO MOAR LEVELZ!!111" so he explains. And can someone explain to me what a "Twink" is??? hes even started talking to me using phrases hes picked up like viruses from that game.
