I've seen that happen as well. Those guys get in a bit more trouble though.

Pumbaa said:McKBrew I wasnt trying to be a dick before but all forms of entertainment can (and will) be abused. I've seen married couples break up over games like EQ and WoW but when people get their priorities FUBAR'ed thats going to happen. I see many more people get ruined by working too much, drinking too much, or chasing women too much.QUOTE]
I agree totally and by no means think you are a dick. I tend to give the gamers at work a bunch of crap, all in good fun just for the entertainment value of it. Just like anything else, if you knock a guy's hobby he will get defensive, and sometimes his responses make others laugh. But, I don't really know you guys well enough to give you sh#t, so if I have irked any gamers I apologize.
I've seen all extremes in gamers like the guy who walked around depressed for 3 days because someone hacked his WOW account and stole all of his stuff. But do I really care what they do in their off-time, no- as long as it doesn't affect their performance at work.
I would rather take the gamer over the drunk any day of the week.

Depressed? Hell I would have been homicidal if that happened to my EQ account. Imgaine if someone you get into your homebrew supplys and took all your homebrew, ingredients and everything you used over the last 5 years. Believe it or not at EQ's peak I could have sold my account for close to $2500
Pumbaa said:I have to build my new system first which TBH scares the hell out of me right now. I have never built a system befor and having $2500 tied up in parts soon just waiting for me to "F" them up has me worried. Soon as I get the check for the IRS I'll be ordering them. It's times like this I wish I knew WTF I was doing when it came to computers

And now SWMBO is being a pita about the whole situation. I may have to just put my foot down and order the parts and take her wrath on this one. I've been saying I need a new system for 2+ years . . . Now she's trying to jockey the numbers. For some reason she thinks just because she takes care of the bills and bank accounts I dont know WTF she is doing

Pumbaa said:I played it for about 2 weeks and made level 30 . . . . and hated it. It was just to care bear IMHO . . . but then again I'm wierd, I like corpse runs and having real fear that everything you have worked for for the last year or so could be undone by 1 stupid move (falling into The Hole in Painel sp?). I also liked the feeling knowing if you screwed up now you would be on a 4 hour corpse run and wouldnt sleep that night, kept ya on your toes and gave you a sense of acomplishment when you pulled off that totally insane kill or dragged someone out of a place they shold have never been able to be dragged out of (rogue remember, I live to drag and backstab)
