Blog Spammers

Okay, I switched the setting that showed this blog in the public Blogger.com listings. Hopefully that will cut down on the anonymous spammer trash I've been getting a lot of lately.

Note to spammers: Quit it, wankers.

I'd make threats, but why warn them of the damage I'd likely inflict upon them.

Isn't it lovely that a fashion newsletter values your blog so highly? :P

I just found your blog on the "Next Blog" button, I shall continue reading, intrigued...

Well, it's nice to think I'm "in fashion."

Do you play WoW or any other games?

If not, all this stuff is gonna be mighty confusing.

Heck, even if you do, it might still be mighty confusing. But, welcome anyway, real person.

Hi Psyae - I'm back again. Essay coming up :P

I don't play WoW myself, but several of my friends do, and they talk about it all the time; I must admit it confuses me when they do - I watched someone play it once, and the graphics looked amazing. I play RuneScape myself (don't laugh too hard about that :P), and WoW's graphics beat RuneScape's easily, although my computer isn't anywhere near up to running WoW, so I'm happy to stick with RS for now. I like the wide variety of skills available to each player on RuneScape (smithing, herblore, farming, magic, woodcutting, crafting, etc.) - RS is one of the only MMOs that I've played that is not completely combat-oriented, and it's nice that there are so many diverse ways of making money, etc. The quests are quite good in RS too. Maybe one day I'll give WoW a try though, if I get a new computer at some point.

Well, be prepared to end whatever way of life you currently pursue if you convert to WoW. If WoW confuses you, there are some good introductions on the official warcraft website (which I have linked to the right).

Ultimately, all these MMORPGs tend fundamentally to be the same:

-make a character (avatar, whatever)
-spice up your character with some unique traits to make it different from everyone else's (for instance, blue skin and horns, or a "build" based on dexterity instead of strength [can't have both, now, can we?])
-find a quest
-kill some baddies
-get some "treasure"
-go back to town
-buy some stuff to help you on your next quest
-find a quest
-et cetera ad infinitum

The only differences are: the specific story or plot, the names of stuff, the engine (software AND statistic equations), and the complexity.

Heck, maybe I'll try RuneScape to get away from WoW for a few days!

(I know as little about RS as you do WoW, apparently) I'll have to look it up. Anyway, feel free to comment on stuff here anyway, and if you ever need any explanations, as Theo has told me, I'm quite verbose, and would be happy to render you a treatise on the subject.
