One thing I learned from playing Diablo 2:
It is a real waste of time.
Having learned this important lesson I never played WoW, thank god.
- ohashi 17y agoI didn't learn that lesson :( 2 years sucked away into the void.
- Proleps 17y agoA lot of people think playing wow is a complete wast of time. But when you ask them what they do all day, they just watch television.
- rtp 17y agoNot practicing what you preach doesn't say much about the truth of what you're preaching.
- TrevorJ 17y agoTrue, but at least an interactive game like WoW engages the parts of your mind that are responsible for strategy, social interaction and goal-setting. Not saying it is much better than TV, but I would be willing to bet it's not at the same level of brain-rot.
- ZachPruckowski 17y agoI'm not sure if that applies here. Most people "waste" a certain amount of their week on downtime, and that's probably healthy for them. Whereas in ages past that was checkers at the general store or a bard's stories at dinner or listening to the radio, today it's TV and video games. A person who watches 40 hours of TV a week for fun is in just as much trouble as a guy who plays WoW or EVE for 40 hours a week.
- swombat 17y agoYou're a quick learner! I wish I was as smart as you. I played WoW too (http://inter-sections.net/2009/02/21/destroying-the-world-of-warcraft http://inter-sections.net/2009/02/21/destroying-the-world-of...)... I think I'll buy Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2 when they come out, too.
- parka 17y agoThat's so true about all other games. I've a copy of Mass Effect 2 I bought last week and I haven't played it yet. I fear playing it for the loss of time.
