World of Warcraft

I am not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. Occasionally, I will make video game noises while doing daily activities, but that is simply to spice things up a bit. Other than my immature game of life, I do not play video games. I realize that during class, part of identity could be what video games you ACTUALLY play, but I think this scenario works because it surrounds me every day at the house. I do not play World of Warcraft, but at any given moment in my bedroom, there are three, sometimes four different guys playing it together. Don’t ask me how to play, or tell you what the point of the game is as I am completely oblivious to those facts myself. I think being surrounded by it makes me not want to play it even more. I sort of get my “fix” just by sitting around all my brothers who play it, that I don’t feel it necessary to join the group. The one thing I do know about this game, is that you cannot play it for fifteen-twenty minutes at a time, no, you must sit down and devote at least three to four hours or game play in one sitting. I do not know how my brothers do it so often. Sometimes I wish I could play, just so that I can say that I did, but frankly, since I have arrived here at Iowa State I haven’t got the luxury of that amount of free time.
