What is it about WoW that fails to engage me? I plan to investigate this in light of our earliest readings soon. Basically, it is involuntary and unnecessary. As Jeff Kupperman defines it, it is punishment.

After completing my Gamer Interview, I have spent at least an hour a day playing Sim City 2000. I am even thinking of buying Sim Societies once I have a little more time on my hands (aka after May 16th).

From Shawn's blog in regards to RPGs... "Quickly you realize that you are a lame pirate: your sword is a rusty piece of crap, your ship is a joke of a naval vessel, and your state in the economy is impoverished. The only way to change these things is to raise your status, level and bankroll. Figuring out how to do this is difficult." Yep. That is me. Only I am a lame mage. Oh, what would I give to be a lame pirate instead :P

I don't really like what this might say about me. I am not willing to put in the hours in order to be successful. This isn't the case across the board. There are many things I am motivated enough to put the time into. WoW, apparently just isn't one of those things. Maybe I need more social/peer motivation. I need competition. Lisa is beyond good. There is no likelihood that I could ever catch up. Good for her. I will stick with Diner Dash, Sim City, and Bow Street Runners :)
