Ok, so I tried WoW yesterday, after a lot of pressure from James. (I know what you're thinking, James is 8, man the hell up Leah!) But I like to know what I'm slagging off. That's also why I watched Twilight. I'm not going to talk shit about something I know nothing about. It was research.
Anyway, unfortunately for me, I sat down to "research" WoW at roughly 4pm. Next time I looked up it was 8pm. I'd lost 4 hours. Just like that. I then went upstairs, blogged for a bit and then tried to sleep... And couldn't... All I could think about was going back downstairs to play it. I was awake til 4.44pm in the end! Not fun.
I need to feel like I'm progressing in game to have the stamina to carry on, and in WoW, the levelling system is perfect. I'm now at Level 12 (I played an hour today over lunch) And 12 Levels in 5 hours feels like a pretty solid ratio to me. Obviously it'll slow if I choose to continue the game, but that's fine. It's a good system.
Another thing that got me was the controls. For some reason I'm a sucker for games that are incredibly complicated to play. Whether that's because there's a lot going on to stimulate me or I just enjoy looking like I know what I'm doing, I'll never know. But it really had me hooked.
So here is my question, are they sneaking nicotine into this game? Subliminally messaging me to play? I'm pretty bad when it comes to getting addicted to stuff so I'm going to stay away from it before it consumes me and steals away any hope I have of going to university. But it will now forever be in the back of my mind, tempting me. Fuck you Blizzard.
Anyone else had an experience like this?! :/
