ponderings about World of Warcraft

Hello Readers!  My thoughts have been on World of Warcraft for a while now and I think that I should be getting them down and share my thoughts with all of you before they disappear into the wild blue yonder, so here we go.  When I first started playing World of Warcarft back in sophmore year of high school, so roughly four years ago, I was addicted to it.  I found myself not doing anything else but play World of Warcraft.  Why I did this, I do not know, maybe it was the fact that it was a whole new experience to me and I wanted more and more of it, almost like it was a drug with very addictive qualities.  Or maybe it was the fact that I was actually enjoying myself while playing in World of Warcraft.  My Dwarven Warrior Avatar became my "Second Skin" I was this Dwarven Warrior when I was playing. 
However, That Dwarven Warroir that I created was a long time ago.  My character for class is nowhere near the Warrior that I created some time ago.  For class I created a Orc Shaman and it seems to me that I did a complete change.  I went from Alliance to Horde and a Warrior to and Shaman.  In my mind it seems as though it was a complete change in roles.  So anyway I really do enjoy playing my Orc Shaman, I have to employ different strategies to complete what I need to accomplish.  The way that I think about it is that, my race and class are like a class in college.  I must employ different strategies to accomplish tasks that my race and class present to me.  If that makes any sense.  However, with all video games I find World of Warcraft to be an adventure and if the adventure does not present itself at the beginning of the game then I make my own, whether it pretains to the game or not. 
Anyway, I used to be a loner when it comes to games like this, it is almost like I was playing a single player game and other people happen to be there.  However, when I started playing with this class my opinion suddenly changed and I became a very vocal person, well at least I think that I became a vocal person.  Why this happened exactly, I don't know, maybe it is becasue I acutally know my fellow players in real life, or maybe because I am in a position of leadership.  Either way  my opinion has changed and I think for the better.  Well Those are my thoughts and some experiences of World of Warcraft.  Well have a great week and Butter Mcspanky pants thanks you for reading! Peace!

The long awaited post #2



Hello fellow classmates, I have been off the blogging radar for a while and now I am back on.  In my last post I promised to talk about both Skyrim and World of Warcraft.  So before I change my mind lets get started.  Lets us start with the wonderful world of Skyrim.Skyrim is the northern most country in the continent of Tamriel, the home of the nord, a frost resistant race of warriors.  As I mentioned before I created an Argonian, a lizard race.  And this Argonian that I created is a special person called the Dragonborn which means that he is able to speak the language of the dragons, which is used in the form of shouts.  Anyway as I started playing Skyrim I was imprisoned and about ready to be exeucted because the Imperial Legion thought that I was a rebel even though I was not a rebel.  Anyway I was saved from beheadment by a dragon called Alduin: The World-eater.  Which the dragonborn has to eventually kill becaue Alduin wants to destroy Skyrim and eventually Tamriel.  Overall, this game is a great game, it brings the fun of a great story with the freedom of a do whatever you want game.  Another thing that I noticed about Skyrim is how great and realistic it looks.  When I am in the first person mode it feels like I am acutally the Dragonborn and killing all of the dragons.  So I would recommend this game to anyone who looking for a great game to play.
Skyrim makes me feel that I am playing a MMORPG but I'm not, I am play a single player game it is really cool experience to be emerged in the huge world of Skyrim.  The map of the Game space Skyrim is above and all of that is explorable.  There are caves and forts that scatter the landscape that are free to explore as well.  Overall, I am glad with my choice for skyrim and it a large amount of replay value. 
So this is it for this post hope you will continue to read my thoughts and opinions, I have been trying you cut down on the amount I write so that you don't explode while reading them However, Next is world of warcraft.  Till next time Butter McSpanky Pants out!!!
