So, my boss just...

[chaseter]

Talked to me about World of Warcraft

My boss is a psychologist that is an extremely smart and verbose man. He is very portly but he is a funny guy. So I go in to get some work to do and he asks me if I have ever played WoW. I say no and tell him I like fast paced console games better. He then tells me about how awesome it is and explains it in every friggin detail He talks about how he plays with his son and son-in-law.

He goes on to tell me every quest he has been on and what he had to do and he even talks about how he meets scantily clad babes... He then ends the talk with an excuse on how the game is pyschologically related to life...sure

I sat in there for nearly 90 minutes listening to this Here is the kicker...the man is over 50 years old!

Is his name Leroy Jenkins? Cause that would be funny.

 

[The Squirrel]

Students sit in my classrooms with their laptops and just play WOW throughout the entire class.

I hate WoW with a passion so it was miserable.

I have friends who play it. One's a shut in and recently change his Facebook profile picture to his WoW avatar.

 

[Ronny Shade]

never talk to someone whole plays WoW. At least...don't talk to them about wow. If you mention it, you will be sorry.

Oh, I'm already sorry

ahahahahahaha. That is sad

WoW not only has increased the world's divorce rate, ****** commerical rate, and stupid rate but it pretty much single-handedly destroyed the PC gaming industry.

Definitely the MMORPG industry.

I have a shut in friend thats addicted to WoW,.. Last time I visited him in Chi he kept his back to me the whole rip at the puter and I ended up kickin it with his mama. So sad.
Ive played the trial and it was bunk..Why cant these people be addicted to good games like NWN2?!
I think the whole 'phenomenon' spiel stems from the fact that any 2 bit graphics chipset can run that piece of crap.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Shh>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>wow

 

[Drakon]

I play, I like it, and I don't care what you guys think.

As to the thread's original post, I'd take that as a good sign. Would you rather him talk to you about his hemorrhoids? Or, about your failing to do a job? By having him come to you to talk to you about something like that, it shows a level of comfort and ease.

 

[Ronny Shade]

lol Drakon.

Way to prempt everything I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!

Those aren't fair comparisons tho. He would need to talk about his other vices like chronic *********ion, gamblers anonymous or wife beatery.

My friend plays that in class all the time. You know in the east coast, kids will rent out sports fields and build wow communities complete with castles and costumes and will live it out for days. Ughh I hate that game..

 

[Majic Walrus]

Yeah it really depresses me.

 

[Drakon]

The point I was making is that it's a relatively tame topic, as opposed to others, or being fussed out by your boss.

WoW fans have a very special kind of neurosis.

 

[Dark Victory]

That's not as awkwrad as when my 6th grade teacher once asked me how to beat a level in Jak II.

The man can take the story of Jack and Jill and turn it into an epic 3 hour tale and add battles and monsters. I like the guy, but when I go in his office I usually stay at the door or stand up so I don't have to sit down and listen for half the day.

I am a good listener, but I really don't want to listen to something boring like WoW. So yes, I would rather him talk about something shocking like hemorrhoids and how he got them than listen to him talk about his level 10 whatever

The point I was making is that it's a relatively tame topic, as opposed to others, or being fussed out by your boss.

Tame topics are boring

DUDE! This is your ticket to a promotion.


Help him defeat the lava monsters of Molten Core, and you're sure to win some brownie points!


And also gain mad XP.

WoW people can get a little too wrapped up in it, no doubt about that. One of my buddies lost his his wife to WoW. Literally. She left and divorced him so she could move to Oklahoma and live with one of her guild members whom she fell in love with online playing WoW.

[Knightsaber Priss]

The trial version of WOW crashed on my PC when I tried to play it. Is this a good thing?

 

[Raiden]

It's too bad you don't play WOW, otherwise you can play the game with him and maybe get a pay raise out of it.
