@DrivenbyChaos: You couldn't misunderstand the situation more. But thanks for demonstrating your prejudice and assumptions. Read more

Because I can see where this is going — and I appreciate what he's talking about in terms of connotation — I would like to offer a counter example. Read more

@Carey.Laius: Hahaha! Win. Truth is she came over one day to do her washing (as her machine was broken) and I was like "I'm not entertaining you for three hours while you do your laundry." (Mean, I know.) But I still felt bad about just having her sit around, so I made her a trial account on WoW and figured she play… Read more

@bkchurch: Thanks for that anecdote. The fastest I've seen someone do it is 5 days of played time, which if you work out the number of real days playing (at 8 hours a day) is 15 days. At 4 hours a day (which isn't too unreasonable given how WoW eats time), it's a month. At 2 hours a day (healthy?), it's two months. Read more

@bruceleroy99: A while ago I was in a discussion with someone who hated levelling and said that once you get to 80, you should get all characters after at 80 — or at least one, ala a DK. I tried to point out to him that just dropping into an 80 of a new class would mean that you likely don't know what the hell you are… Read more

@Azures: Ugh, you are EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Read more

@Azures: Assuming one goes to work, has basic hygiene, and gets enough sleep to function properly at their job, getting to 80 in a matter of days means you are likely doing nothing else than WoW. Read more

"I say end-game fare, because the feature is currently available to level 80 characters or higher, which should be pretty much everyone at this point anyway." Read more

@Guigwime: Interesting. I like Half-Life, but I could never rate it above the first three Warcraft games. Many a friendship was formed over Warcraft II LANs. Read more

In fighting, I thought Killer Instinct deserved to be out of other. Apart from that, the only other tough choice was whether I liked Halo, Fable, or PGR more. ...I went with Halo. Read more

@cowondinosaur: Point 1 proves you a) didn't listen; b) haven't played it. Read more

@Neural_Net: So you pulled the "real gamers" argument? Talk about grasping for straws. Read more

That last one is an evil question! Read more

@Neural_Net: No, you are completely missing what I am trying to say. Nintendo didn't steal gamers and gamers didn't jump ship. Nintendo realised something everyone else was too blind to see: being a "gamer" is about as silly as being a "reader" or a "watcher". It say there was a market there, it just wasn't being… Read more

@Neural_Net: Yes, some people like graphical fidelity. But that is a niche small market. If nVida can sustain itself off that, more power to them. However, I think that the future will eventually prove that Nintendo had it right all along. Read more

@Neural_Net: What? So you pick an article where they are running it at 1024 and 4x MSAA as an example of it not running on a toaster? Read more

@cowondinosaur: Oh, and you're obviously not very good at The Sims. My ex played it and she was obscenely good at it. I had trouble keeping one Sim from pissing himself, but she could not only get all of them running fine, she could actually manipulate them in such a way she could get them to do what she wanted. She'd… Read more

@nerdydesi: New Zealand. Sadly, 40GB is pretty much the maximum you can get. only get about 2mbps speeds to the States (if that), and it costs US$60 a month. Read more

@cowondinosaur: But Tetris is the best game ever. Read more
