		<description><![CDATA[I am trying now to catch up on the 4-5 years of gaming I&#039;ve ignored while playing WoW. Notable things include Oblivion, Valkyrie Profile 2 and Shadow of the Colossus. I realize that these are circa 2006, but I am still giving myself a pat on the back for trying. Also, I don&#039;t have a PS3, so that puts a damper on such and such. I also picked up Chrono Cross again but that is like, year 2000 ancient, but it made me realize that people used to put a lot more effort into games, especially re: dialog and scripting in non-MMO-land. I recommend it.

Have I already complained to you about FFXIV yet? Remind me to do that later. I THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT WOULD UNDERSTAND.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh man, I save SO much money by playing WoW!  Between not buying new games and not drinking as much, WoW totally helps me stay within my budget. 

I can&#039;t do most frozen foods and Kraft dinner. I don&#039;t like the taste of salt, so it limits my cheap options. Plus I&#039;m a proud gastronomer, so unless I can eat something delicious, I&#039;d rather not eat at all.

I also find it scandalous that healthy food is SO much more expensive than crappy food. Whenever statistics point out that the higher social classes are healthier than the lower social classes, all I can think of is &quot;WELL I WOULD LIKE TO EAT IN A WAY THAT IS CONDUCIVE TO GOOD HEALTH BUT I CANT REALLY AFFORD IT&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I consider WoW to be my passive savings plan.  Prior to WoW I played console and RTS games quite a bit and would end up buy at least two new titles each month.  At that rate I can afford 2 years of WoW, including expac, for what I would have spent in about 4 months of console gaming.  Then factor in the nights when I would end up at the bar, etc. 

I do feel like I&#039;m not &quot;in the know&quot; about good new games like Dragon Age or ME2 or even the FPS games I used to play when my brother lived with me, but I haven&#039;t reached critical mass on that urge yet.

Nowadays, most of my non-WoW gaming is done via my iPhone.  Especially since I just learned that FF &amp; FFII are available in full.  

BTW, when I was a broke young adult, I ate frozen burritos and easy mac WAAAY to much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I only went 2 days without because I had no internet ;D. I do occasionally go for much longer without, when things get hectic irl, but if I have time to game, then yeah, I&#039;ll go to WoW. I still find the game challenging at times- not the solo play, but the team achievements and kills can still make me break a sweat. 

When I took my computer in to get fixed 2 years ago, I was really active for the first week and a half. But eventually I just settled down in front of the TV all the time. I guess I&#039;m just a really boring person.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s strange the void that the game leaves after you take a step back from it. You spend so long playing it that often it&#039;s a little wierd. I know when about a month ago I packed it in I was confused. I had so much spare time so I did something similar to you. In anticipation of Halo:REACH I played through the other 3 games, I took up sports, I got a girlfriend and gradually the time filled itself.

Some people have their social circles and they became wow based as people got into the game. Others got drawn in in dribs and drabs and slowly the game became their circle. Some people are happy with this and more power to them. But wow isn&#039;t challenging and I found that I was happier without it.

I&#039;ll stop before it becomes too preachey. I&#039;m actually a massive hypocrit especially as I still occasionally log on and I still read wowblogs :p]]></description>
