Gimme MMOre
There are quite a few great MMO games out there. There are some that you pay a monthly fee for, and there are some that you play for free. The trick is to get you sucked in so that you spend as much time as possible playing on, or logged into the game. There are those who powerlevel and become level 2389475627836 dark druid warrior magi grinders, and there are those who just log in to chat with online buddies. The powerlevelers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are your stereotypical gamers as portrayed by the movie "Gamer", huge slobbish forms that play as g.i.r.l.s (guy in real life) in-game. There are also gamers that are quite athletic as well. A gamer nowadays actually means anyone really.
Facebook has forged social networking with mindless clicking to farm virtual cow patties in an endless endeavor to expand something completely virtual.
First person shooter games have built up to a point where ranking individuals compete for the top spot in some huge conglomerate's online spreadsheet.
Why do we burden ourselves with such nonsense? Douglas Adams was correct..The mice control us. By the way, since you're going to quit now, can I have your stuff?
