Farmer Felix's Fantastic FRandom FBanter #119 (may contain traces of fnuts)

[Mr. Mud]

Methinks the only way one must leave WoW is in a body bag... I went through, LITERALLY 2 months of withdrawal... Get out while you can Kael !

[Kaelaroth]

Oh, it took me an age to quit. *looks back*
AND I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN! Although I deleted my account, and can't find the discs. So, could be hard to do it all again. *sigh*

This smoothie is nice.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Naw, what you need to quit WoW is a better game that you can keep on going with.

Sadly there is no such thing, orso I have heard.

Since I do not play WoW, but I know people who do...

[Kneenibble]

Not that I've ever played the game, nor ever will, but from the behaviour I've seen it incite in others, I've always figured that smoking crystal meth would be a great surrogate in helping to break the habit -- less addictive and more productive, for sure.

Dis!

It was a good dis...

[Quincunx]

Ribbons. Definitely ribbons.

(Umm, hate to say this, but wouldn't sewing on ribbons count as applique?)

Anyway, ribbons are always good, so, in conclusion, ribbons.

I was hoping that ribbons wouldn't leave that shadowed-at-the-edges, less than professional look I seem to get with applique. There's a time and a place for emphasizing the borders but this won't be it. I intend to have enough pictures of this during the construction to rival a baby book. Although, if the time warp is in effect and it's 2003, I wouldn't have a sewing machine to do this with, so it might all be moot. 20cm of hand-hemming have convinced me there's no way I will not be constructing this without the assistance of technology.

Forums addicted me more than MMORPGs ever did and with even less tangible rewards--although, maybe, more rewarding human interaction. Point is, it might be hypocritical for me to speak up.

I think you could download the game from the WoW home page...
I have started playing FFXI and that is about as good. Some things are better, some things are not as good, but it does make a nice replacement.

Yeah you can download a free Trial... but I'm lmost 100% not the whole game. And people on their trials are restricted from various things, and held to under level 20... (I played the trial several months after my quit my level 70.... 20th level ding within the night I downloaded it .)...

But I think Ever[crack]quest offers an entirely free downlaod of the first game... to try and entice people to buy the second? Not sure why... but Yeah, their are a lot better games than WoW, but after playing WoW so much, it's hard to adapt to, or even like something else.

[Falgorn]

I quit WoW a while ago, it was very hard....just FIGHT THE POWER! I...had to destroy the discs so I wouldn't download them again.

[Kaelaroth]

Heh. Having managed to remember my password, I see I started playing four years ago, and stopped two years ago.
...
*wants*

[The Rose Dragon]

I suffered no withdrawal from leaving WoW.

I'm awesome like that.

City of Heroes, on the other hand...

[Mr. Mud]

CoH!!! I've always wanted to get into that... Ro-Da, send me your CD(s) !

Read good reviews of it actually... what you think of it ?

[Kaelaroth]

WoW, in my opinion, proved far superior to CoH, and CoV, in my opinion, but I have a friend who thought the exact opposite. *shrugs* CoH/V was certainly cheaper, though.

[The Rose Dragon]

Honestly, I like CoH because I have a soft spot for superpowers.

And you can fly, which is always a bonus.

[Kaelaroth]

Yeah, that's why I was interested by CoH. But I found it somewhat harder to actually play, and I didn't find the graphics nearly as sumptuous as WoW's.

[Mr. Mud]

If I bought a GOOD flight simulator, I'd have to time for anything else... because I love flying, with anything, may it be Superman, or a B12 ... It's addicting.

And the fact the CoH is less populated/less expensive than WoW is a major plus... You don't have those 11 year olds that some how glitch you and kill you, while they're 20 levels your junior... .

[Tempest Fennac]

What kind of smoothie was it, Kaelaroth? I've never played WoW to be honest.

[Kaelaroth]

Blackberry and Blueberry. Nom.
And why "to be honest"? Nothing to be ashamed of.

[Tempest Fennac]

I know it's not. I just have a tendancy to put "to be honest" at the end of sentances (I tend to think it reads better when I include it for some reason).

[Mr. Mud]

I have the same problems with commas... and ellipses . Really ticks me off sometimes, because I'll throw them in every sentence just out of habit.

[Alteran]

I do exactly this. I also tend to quote every post I respond to in Random Banter, since chances are new posts have been made between that one and mine.

[Assassin89]

I have never played WoW, but I know a few people who do, or to be honest, looked at the screens of people who play that game.

[Sneak]

Oh, gods, I definitely do that whole "overusing words and/or punctuation" thing. I use the words "really" and "just" all the time. "Anyway," too. I really need to stop myself. See, there it goes again!

I also tend to overuse parentheses, em dashes, and ellipses. Guh.

Perhaps commas as well...but I at least hope that I'm using those to be grammatically correct.

Most of the time, anyway.

And, in case you hadn't noticed, I tend to have tons of line breaks in my posts. I guess I just think it makes them easier to read. Dunno.

No spoilers!

(it's on my TiVo, I've not watched it yet.)

[Assassin89]

I have seen parts of a few episodes of House, but I prefer House Freeman dressed as a certain character from Half-Life.

What does House have to do with Dr. Isaac Keiner? Other than the Doctor part.
