Blogging about video games is not very entertaining, thus this is my last blog.

Its like blogging about fruit. We all know what they taste like, there is really nothing to discuss.

Apple's are Apples no matter what kind of bag you put them in. RTS is RTS no matter what angle you try to spin on it (world in conflict).

So yea, on that note, I really don't think I need to discuss further gaming, its highs or lows, its new innovations or shortcomings. Because we have all seen it before, its a repetition of the same cycle. And nothing will ever truly be "new" again in the world of PC gaming.

For once I can honestly say that I am not addicted to World of Warcraft.

I went back after about 6 months sober without it. Thought I was being taken away to addict land again, but if I truely were hooked, i would not be able to go a day without or use freetime without playing.

I have been able to not play an entire weekend, (vacation) and ive been able to go 2 days during the week, out of doing RL things or just Other things.

This game does not have the addictive power it once had. It will always be there, and all you get for playing 24/7 is a headache and gear thats replaced next patch. GG

So on that note, I think cnc3 is a more fun game than World of Warcraft.

Good grief. They won't ever ever ever leave video games alone, we will never ever just be as simple a past time as a board game or a book.

Just because your world sucks the big one, doesn't mean you have to come to ours and tell us what to do. Are they addictive ? Is a life free from BS addictive? Is freedom to choose addictive?

Yes.

Are you ever going to stop us?

No.

So please take your reviews your doctors, your polls, your special reports and shove um where it fits.

If I want to be an addict I will be. You cannot stop free will.

Want to know the secret to change the world? To make video games less addictive, less appealing?

Make the world a better place, then maybe we will come back.

Secret ingredient into all MMORPG games.

It is the one thing that keeps the monthly fee rolling in.

UO, and everquest did this to perfection. Star Wars Galaxies failed miserably on this because, they had forgotten to add end game content to keep their players, ie. their carrot got stale, and players went back to DAOC or Evercrack.

This lead to the downfall of an early rising game, which would soon come to be a personal favorite of all those who stuck around, or came back because of the amazing star wars world, and a pvp system unmatched by any game to date.

Now, why am I talking about this? Well its because World of Warcraft has done this to absolute complete and uter PERFECTION.

Ive played the game before, ive seen all the content I am currently playing, yet I still play!?

How could this be, wouldn't I get bored? Well I do, but there is still that fucking orange thing in front of me that keeps me going. And I WILL NOT STOP until I have a damn mount. In my mind I can say, You can stop then so its all good. At level 40 I can eat the Carrot and just enjoy right?

But in reality, World of Warcraft is already working overtime on updating my carrot, once i hit 40. It will be either in the form of a 60 epic mount, a new skill, entrance to the outlands (new content thats pure golden carrot for me) or to the drawing ever closer level 70.

But one would say, ohh theres your end theres your relief, level 70 is the end you can get bored then, relax do other things, no need.

Yea tell that to the millions of people grinding 6-8 hours a night at level 70.

How can they grind if they are at the level cap?

Ohh see this is where the genious of World of Warcraft comes in. You don't get levels, you instead get gear and goodies (which will become useless after an expansion, update, or nerf). Thes will help count as levels against your opponents whether in the pve realm or pvp realm, either way you can still be higher level than your buddies or enemies, which of course is the goal is it not? To PWN!

It is...

I love this game to death, but man, if you screw up one thing in your build order, its GG.

The new changes are good and bad, the worst in 1.5 is the no build out from powerplants, i mean who was exploiting this? someone actually built out a base to an apponents base by just building power plants?

I don't understand that one at all. I have seen however that rocket soldiers are now like mini commandos lol.

I had a 1v1 match where i defeated the opponents base, he made a second base and a nuke, i got nuked, and still survived with mammoths to destroy his base. Also pitbulls are invaluable against the nod air rush. Which was the tactic he used.

Anyways, my micro sucks but i still pull out teh dubya!

I played cs for the longest time, and then there was DoD, a much much much better game.
