Maybe some of you fellow forumers have heard of this new drug that's a craze among teens, mostly male ones. It's called World of Warcraft, commonly referred to as WOW. It's expensive, it's addictive, it's alienating, and most of all.....it's nerdly.
Remember me mentioning my group of friends that I've been hanging out with since I was like 16? Well the ones that stayed in Eagan thru college are now committed WOWers, it's depressing. I'm depressed over this situation, I mean for chrissake I'm listening to REM's "Everybody Hurts" on iTunes and it's on repeat and this is the 11th time it's played!
I mean, take for example, last night. They call me up and tell me they wanna go out an get something to eat, so I go over there, and we sit around and talk about what we could do...go out get something to eat, go to the giant car show, or maybe go to the mall because we've got things we need to do....nope. They whip out their ****ing laptops and start playing WOW. At that point I left and grabbed some Wendy's and went to the car show...with normal, god fearing, WoWless, car loving, blue collared, red necked americans. MY type of people. Then what were they doing tonight?? The same DAMN thing! Ugh this is shitty, my friends are nerds! Now I've never been a big gamer, but I'll play Halo and Vigilante V8 from time to time with them, because we all do it and it's something to do. But this constant gaming thing is shit. We're 20, we should be out socializing with others, meeting girls, partying it up, getting shitfaced, etc etc, but nope, they wanna hang out in a basement and play "21st century Dungeons and Dragons" on their computers.
F that.
Rant over.
