Elle are you a gamer? I was just curious as to whether youlike video games...do you? If so, whatdo youplay???

No, not really... it depends.

I love stupid easy games like Brickbreaker and Tetris. I also play World of Warcraft, and that really came out of left field. I have no idea why I like that game.

Oh, and I''m not good at ''real'' video games. I can rock Tetris, but anything on a real console I really suck at.

We have a Wii, Xbox 360, PS2... blah blah blah... I''ve never played the Xbox or the PS2.

Do you play??

What race/class do you play? I used to have a troll rogue but I had to stop playing because real life was taking up too much of my time.

 

[somegirl932]

I wish I had a Wii... and the Xbox I basically just use for rock band, w00t!

Haha... I don''t play WoW but I do play D&D sometimes...

 

[Lauren8211]

LOL... Freke... you''re so right I can''t even deny it.

I have a 60 BE Mage, 70 BE Hunter, and a lvl 20 Undead Warlock.

For The Horde, baby!

FF plays D&D. He bought me dice to encourage me to play, but I haven''t tried it yet.

FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blood elves are pretty--I don''t blame you for wanting to stare at a behind like that all the time.

Funny WoW story. I was grinding with a friend of mine one time and we helped out a lower level character in an instance. My toon happened to be female and his happened to be male (even though we both had alts of other genders). After we helped this guy out, he asked if we were married!

We were on Vent at the time and were both like "WTF!?".

P.S. I just read over that and realized how strange it probably sounds if you don''t play WoW. LOL.

Have you guys ever played Munchkin? It''s hilarious, especially if you know anything about D&D.

LOL. When FF and I play together (We ran a guild for a while) guildies who are younger find out we live together and they're like 'OH! Are you brother and sister?!" Sometimes the younger ones in the guild would whisper me and ask dating advice because I'm an "older woman" at the ripe old age of 26.

Blood elves are the reason I started playing. FF wanted me to play and said "Look! Make a blood elf! They're pretty!" and then I was hooked. I never make any other race because I just like looking at the blood elves. Im such a girl about WoW sometimes, but I really do like the game.

Are you on a PVP server?

ETA: I've never even heard of Munchkin. What is it?

LOL! When I played, I was on a PVP server, Drak Thul. I haven''t even logged on in a year and a half or so though. If K played, I might, but we see each other little enough as is with our work schedules.

We do still play other video games, though--we played through Portal, all the Halflife games, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 and a few others. He also has his weekly gaming session where he does Left 4 Dead with his friends. I suppose I could start playing WoW on those nights, but I''d have to find people to play with.

Munchkin is a card game that makes fun of D&D. I''m attaching a picture of it below.

 

[somegirl932]

I''ve *almost* played Munchkin. And ex and I had plans to play (he was who got me into D&D) (bad grammar much?) but then I broke up with him because he was really whiny. (on the positives for staying with him, he *totally* would have proposed by now...

)

I love portal a bajillion. (also good grammar)

You should! If you guys ever want to come to Portland, we totally have it.

Party at LP's house! Woo! Scrabble and Munchkin and Settlers of Catan for all!

ETA: And I love portal a bajillion too! I love how they have the song in Rock Band.

"I'm not even angry--
I'm being so sincere right now--
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire.
As it burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you..."

Awesome.

Bia, have you been living in a cave???

It''s an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

 

[Lauren8211]

To be honest, we cancelled our accounts a month ago because we weren''t playing. We tend not to play during the summer. I know the first cold night in October we''ll reactivate our accounts and stay up til 5 AM playing.

Munchkin looks AWESOME. I want to play that! Im flying to portland for munchkin night when you get your new house, LP!

Bia: WoW is an MMORPG. (Massive multiplayer online role playing game), so its more in depth than just "fighting the bad guy." You have professions, and you can completely customize your character. You do quests, or run through "instances" or do big groups raids, you can kill non-playing characters, or kill people on the opposing faction. There is so much to the game, I don''t know where to start.

I would go into more detail but I dont want to bore you if you know what an MMORPG is, and i don''t want to confuse you if you dont.

 

[somegirl932]

We should totally do a Pacific Northwest Munchkin meetup... except I''m cheating and don''t actually live there yet...

SO is more into FPSs and combat flight simulators though... I''ve never gotten him to do role-playing.

I would be totally into that. Seriously. Move here! We can turn the PacNW into Pricescope land!

K is definitely into FPSs more than RPGs as well. I will really only do FPSs if there is a plot. My favorite types of games are puzzle solving/adventure. I was a HUGE Myst nerd.

 

[ladypirate]

LOL, Elle!

Yep, it''s on your computer. Costs 15 bucks a month. The game is so, so pretty. It''s crazy.

It''s confusing to start playing if you don''t play with someone who is already knowledgable. If you do end up deciding to play, let me know, and I''ll play with ya.

I''ll get you on a PVP server, level you super quick, and show you how to kick some bootay.

If you have someone refers you to WoW (ilke me) you can link accounts so you level 3x faster, so you get a high level character faster. Its pretty nerd-tastic.

You''ll have to figure out that Mac of yours...

Maybe you can totally nerd out and get gaming keyboard and mice!

But srsly... you want to play WoW... let me know. Its HUGELY helpful in WoW to play with someone high level.

Well they put it on the 360 for free downloading (it''s sponsored by Sprint) and it''s normally 5-8 minutes long, with one new episode each week. It''s about 5 gamers who make up a guild.

It is FREAKING. HILARIOUS.

Here is the website, it looks like the episodes are on there to watch too!
