I picked up a copy of World of Warcarft. I haven't installed it yet. This can lead to no good.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I have strong feelings about this, or anything, but...but...NOOOOOOOO!

I have heard stories. Stories that involve lost MONTHS to that game. No no no. I will not lose what little time we have together to fake reality!

Yeah, I have to side with Kristin, ND. Warcraft is not a wise purchase for anyone with limited time. Hell, any MMO is deadly to a freelancer's career.
Of course, given that GTA IV has now been out for 4 whole weeks and I'm still not done with it, I may be seeing the very upper limit of what I can manage in terms of game-time outlay.

Sensible girl.
I mean, I luvs me some video games, but MMOs are a flavor of crack I just won't even sample.

Yeah, Aims, but you work 9 to 5, right? Honestly MMOs are more destructive to people with flexible schedules. Also, you're not quite as deep into the Xbox crack as ND, right?
ND is clearly crazy.

I've never been all that interested in MMOs. The idea of playing video games with a bunch of strangers just doesn't appeal to me. All too often, the total strangers turn out to be total dicks.
Hell, my *friends* gleefully turn into raging kill monkeys when playing video games together online.

This is actually the main reason I have never been into online games myself.
