I bought the expansion. Played it like any other game but I’m tired of it already. Went back to playing Call of Duty 4 with my friends on Xbox Live. That’s a game I can pick up and play whenever, then stop playing soon after, unlike WoW, which requires hours and hours.

WoW is a good game, but the game itself becomes tiring after so long.

And I can’t end this without talking about the disgusting kids who play and post on its forums.

Most WoW players care more about being a good character class than about being a good human being. They care more about being good contributors to their guild than about being a good contributor to their own family. They foresake real-life trade skills for the sake of in-game trade skills.

There was a time I thought WoW was at least more productive than sitting around watching television all day. Now I honestly think WoW is worse. It turns normal people into greedy, avaricious bastards. All for the sake of a video game that’s supposed to be played in moderation and for fun.

A young aviator lay dying
At the start of a bright summer’s day
To the mechanics assembled around him
These few parting words he did say
Take the cyllinder out of my kidneys
The connecting rod out of my brain
From the small of back take the crankshaft
And assemble the engine again
