World of Warcraft or World of Perverts?

wow1World of Warcraft is without a doubt the most popular Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) out on the market today. As a huge fan of Blizzard Entertainment since their debut release of the Warcraft series back in 1994, I had previously bought all three real time strategy games they had offered.

The Warcraft franchise decided on a different direction for their gamers after the successful release of Warcraft III:The Frozen Throne back in 2003. By late 2004 they released World of Warcraft, a new online experience which focused on “reality role playing” rather than real time strategy. Based on past experiences playing RPG’s such as Shining Force, Sword of Vermilion, and Phantasy Star, I knew I wouldn’t have the time to play a role playing game that required so much involvement.

Although I have not touched any warcraft game in some time, I’ve kept up with the news on Blizzard and I’ve read tons of articles across the web about warcraft and its addictiveness. Recently, I stumbled on a forum with photos of Warcraft avatars making out, drinking beer, sleeping together, and even performing pornographic acts. The text written was pretty hilarious too. I guess this is what going on with the guys and gals who fail in real relationships and are not getting any in the real world. Its kind of sad and funny at the same time. Your thoughts?

Guam Senator also WOW geek

Sen_TenorioWhen I stumbled on this news report on the Guam PDN a couple days ago, it helped me feel a little less “childish” whenever I played Warcraft on Blizzard or logged on for a couple sessions of Halo 2 with friends from the mainland.

I’ve been a school teacher for seven years now, and although I’m a professional at work, I still love to play games and wield some magic to attack an evil orc and troll now and then. Seems like I’m not the only one. Senator Ray Tenorio, a former Guam police officer and current Senator in the Guam Legislature plays World of Warcraft. He not only knows how to play the game, but he also boasts an impressive level 70 dwarf priest who goes by the name of Paleray (father Ray). You can find him on the Silverhand server.

Heres what he had to say about his gaming experience taken from the source at Guampdn.

“What I like about World of Warcraft is it’s a great way to be able to reach out and connect with other people… So many different people play — attorneys, accountants, geeks, … all kinds of people… What makes World of Warcraft so alluring is that it’s always reinventing and adding new content Tenorio says. There’s always something new to come back to…”

Go Ray! I’ll be voting for you again! Here’s his actual character profile online.

Back to WC3

Lately I’ve been online playing WarCraft “The Frozen Throne”. I’ve been away from battle.net for a few months because of my attention to the Xbox. Unfortunately, my brother took it home (yeah I borrowed it!), so now without the Xbox online, my gaming sessions are playing WarCraft again. Im still using my original accountand it amazes me how many people still play the game after the new World of Warcraft was released. Im afraid to move into the WOW realm because I fear that I may lose sleep playing it. If I really want to find time, it would have to be during the summer after the wedding is done. My friend Toni seems to enjoy her time playing WOW, which has tempted me to pick up a copy everytime I swing by the mall. So far I have fought the urge. Back to the Frozen Throne. In order to find some excitement in it, I’ve started to play Random. It basically chooses the race I play in the game. For those not familar with Warcraft, there are four races to choose from. Orc, Undead, NightElf, and Human. I tend to play best with Human and Orc, and I dont care for Undead much. It was those Undead games that ruined my 60% win mark. But random does make the matches more exciting. I still dont have a regular partner so most of my matches are RT’s or Random Team Games. I would love to play AT or Arrange Teams, but I have not found a partner in my time zone, or that is good enough to partner with. I either get stuck with a total asshole or a noob.

I’ve also tried solo games, which is suppose to be the “Expert” gameplay mode, but I find it rather boring. 1v1 is just no fun. I was actually decent, posting a record of 18-10, but having to constantly harass and build at the same time, make the games terribly tedious. There are times when I would just like to build a massive army and fight one huge war in the middle of the map. The carnage is superior to what you see with a solo match. Anyways I sound like geek , but its true I love gaming. WarCraft is just one of the best games I’ve played, so I thought I’d share my thoughts about it.
