I actually joined my husband on WoW and play more than him. It has been a year and I love it and have many alts on several servers. Our guild started with rl friends so it is a great alternative to a more traditional game night especially for our friends who have moved out of state.<br /><br />We are both anti-facebook, my space and twitter.

I play WoW. WoW is my business... well MMO&#39;s are my business, but mostly WoW. I own a few guide/exploit sites. I own a gold/leveling/account selling site. Just because we play games, doesn&#39;t mean we don&#39;t make money.<br /><br />My wife used to play WoW with me, but slowly the time she had to play with me, got down to 1x a month for a couple hours. Not really enough to pay $15 a

My Ex got me into facebook because she wanted to tag me in photos. it has since consumed me and i&#39;ve deleted it many times to go back and reinstate my facebook. I think I&#39;m on three times. which is my current count for going back to wow. <br /><br />facebook has a place but by god i wish it had less lame aps and more epic drops.

My girlfriend is my co-raid-leader. :)<br /><br />The answer is: social people.<br /><br />Facebook is OK because it&#39;s real people from your real life. Wii Fit is OK because your &quot;supposed&quot; to be getting fit. They forward social goals. WoW is NOT OK socially because it doesn&#39;t forward social goals. <br /><br />Do you all just not remember high school? Remember how most of

I am in the same boat, I play WOW, my wife loves facebook. I started a facebook account after much urging and I can see the benefits and ease of staying in contact with other people but I don&#39;t like a lot of the request either. Two things are different for me though. <br /><br />I have truely enjoyed the pirate game on facebook and my wife refuses to play wow because she knows she would spend

Hey Ixo,<br /><br />I have been reading your blog for a little while now. (Nice stuff by the by) <br /><br />This post hits home with me quite a bit as I have a wife who feels the same exact way about my time spent playing video games. We eventually bought a Wii after borrowing a friends because she actually enjoyed playing Wii Sports and has also fallen in love with her Wii Fit. But for the most

I used to play WoW 80+ hours a week. Now I use Facebook 10 or less minutes a day. Good trade-off, IMO.<br /><br />Facebook just lets me know that out of my graduation class, despite the fact that I am JUST NOW landing my near dream job, not a single peer of mine has even come close. Most had kids, have dead end jobs, and are going nowhere. I felt bad for wasting alot of time on video games, but

You can bet a number of your students do play World of Warcraft. However, in a classroom setting, it is much more stylish to denounce WoW in front of your peers than to embrace it.<br /><br />I&#39;ve seen this in college classes -- people who have a long history of playing will (loudly) insult anyone who still does play. This happens even if they&#39;ve been &quot;retired&quot; from the game for

Okay, I&#39;m *completely* going to be using this analogy whenever someone looks at me all weird because I play WoW. Sheer genius. My students are self-confessed FB junkies, but claim without hesitation that playing online video games is just “throwing your life away” and that they “totally can’t understand why anyone would waste so much time on just a game.” My thought is, well at least people

<i>And no I don&#39;t want the stupid furry handcuff game as you would have guessed if you had stopped for even half a second to think &#39;does this sound like the sort of thing Spinks might be interested in?&#39;</i><br /><br />Wait...what? Where do I get a Facebook account?

I laughed too. Facebook seems to be full of people I know who are spamming me with stupid game shit and pointless group invites that they must KNOW I&#39;m not interested in and no one with a brain would be interested in.<br /><br />And these are people I know. What&#39;s their excuse? It&#39;s not like they&#39;re total randoms, so why do they behave like total randoms when they are on facebook.
