Late to the Party
Anyone who knows me knows who astute I am about keeping up with the latest trends in personal entertainment (cue eye roll here). So you should all be shocked to learn that I just now have tried Blizzard’s MMORPG World of Warcraft for the first time.
This is my first MMOWTFRPG, and though I’ve only played for a bout 2 hours, I like it so far. Oh, and that’s two hours not counting the 45 minute install time, and the 2 hours downloading a 200Mb patch from the server before I could even start the game. But whatever. Once I finally got up and running, I was pretty impressed. It was a little laggy, but I have a feeling that that was due to the fact that I had a couple of hefty torrents going at the same time. I’ll try it again tonight with a little more free bandwidth, and see if that makes a difference.
So yeah, I was planning on trying it out for a couple of hours before bedtime, but after the excessive installation/patching process, I ended up playing way too late into the evening (if 2am is still considered evening). I have to say, I’m glad I’m only on a 10-day trial account right now (thanks Reed!), as this could lead to massive amounts of sleep deprivation. We’ll see how I’m feeling after 10 days, I suppose.
More later…
