Dual Boxing in LA & Orange County

[thinus]

We all shower in plain old water, not the blood of our enemies.

Speak for yourself.

Some of us never shower.

Ya.. way to cast a negative light on a hobby. Good job.

I saw this and I lost ALL credibility video / author / people in it. Also, the information is pretty dated in the first video (only one I wanted all the way through) people talking about being "furthest progressed as you can get in the game" and it shows "level 70", You can't expect to show this video to any WoW gamer and have them take you seriously. I know development and interviews take time. But level 70 was nearly a year ago.

I did like the video in the fact I made it to the end. I didn't like the negative aspect it puts people in.



Unlike Khatovar, I DO shower in the blood of my enemies.


BRB gotta go tag this orc warrior with my guild signs for stepping on our side of Dalaran.

I never knew WoW was like this. Here I thought WoW was just a game...a virtual game world. Obviously it's not, it's a dangerous world where gangs run rampant. I should stop playing because you never know when I will be shot for wiping a raid. Oh no! I'm a guild/street gang they might not take too kindly to me leaving. I think I need the witness protection program.

Seriously though, how in the world can he think a guild is like a street gang!?!?

I think we'd be a dissapointment for the author of those videos. It may come as a shock to him that we have actual productive lives and our world does not revolve around this game.

Just go find Prepared. Sam might be even better given his wild personality.

I concur that multiboxers are probably not your typical hardcore gamers.

I will take me as an example: 10 years ago I was hardcore. I could easily pull 24hour sessions when needed. 5 years ago I would still try to be hardcore. As I played Daoc on US servers I had to go to bed when I got home from work and wake up at midnight to raid/pvp. Thats when I started multiboxing so I could do everything in my own time.

These days I have a well paying job and 2 kids and other interests outside of work. I do not have time to suffer the fools when playing so I box exclusively. I havent done a single raid since 2.3 since I made the switch to EU servers (not even VoA or Ony).

I do miss raiding but I need to find a bunch of mature gamers in a similar mindset as me ie people that play infrequently but take playing seriously when they do play.

It was interesting and thanks for bringing it here.

Everyone of these video game documentaries always has some old physiologists in them talking about how anti-real world, destructive games are to the person. In would be interesting in 10-15 years when most of those who had no interaction with games die off and the new breed of therapists,politicians and the like who most likely had somekind interaction growing up with games/internet talk about them.

I think a one topic that should be covered is "Escapism". The reason why people are drawn to play games. You should have asked those in the interviews, if video games of any kind were never developed what would you be doing instead. Just a wild guess most would say."Watch more TV or Movies".
