The official "alone on valentine's day" topic

you can spend a month/a year trying to stay at the same level of your friends so you can run the same dungeons over and over again to increase numbers or you can spend a great hour or two fucking around with Kirby Superstar

what is the correct choice here

Mr. Biz: Yeah, you were one of the gamers that I mentioned in the "people were whining about being alone, then a couple people talked about games instead" post -- although yeah, I can see where I then promptly said something that confused the idea.

Joe: You could tell by my starting post in here that I was loathing it. The disappointment thing, yeah. YES yeah hell yeah yeah. Evidently I got off on the wrong foot, though, and now I actually enjoy what's happening in there. So far, anyway. STILL not sure if I'll keep it after the month is up.

Dinghy: I scoff at the numbers game too. The idea of going max level just so I can push into the point of diminishing returns with gear...ugh. On the other hand, the idea of playing the same dungeons more than once is kinda like saying that all of the IC people who play Gears of War are lame for playing together on the same maps.

Kap: Gotcha. On the flip side, it ends up being cheaper to play WoW than it is to buy several games throughout a year. But yeah, addiction to the game is not recommended.

our gears of war time though.. that's like bite sized pieces of chocolate.. wow, for me, would be like trying to eat an entire chocolate bar at once every time i wanted a little piece. too much of a time sink. i have to keep up with the joneses (my friends),

In GOW i can pop in whenever.

And yet here I am playing a level 10 guy at the moment, with Matt and Kerry at 70 and Carlos at 24. The disparity isn't leaving me lonely so far. I've been coming and going whenever I want to take a break.

Still, who knows, the experience might change as my character progresses. The game already pulled a 180 on me once, so it might again.

If you think you'd get addicted to something that always feels like you could find something better to do instead, then that's fair enough. Me? I ain't gone fat yet.
