Hatred of WoW and my Roommate's Strangeness

Posted by DesertFox on April 3, 2008, 9:11 a.m.

I have developed a hatred of anyone playing World of Warcraft. I don't know what it is that consumes them so, but I can't understand what compels what would otherwise be possibly normal people to spend their entire lives playing that game.

Most of this is directly related to my roommate, who by chance plays WoW. He wakes up early in the morning to play, and due to the fact that he uses voicechat, he wakes me up too. He has this droning piercing voice that goes through two pillows and a blanket - its louder than my alarm clock, and twice as annoying because you can be almost asleep and then *wham* BLAH BLAH BLAH. What is more annoying is the fact that even if you ask him to be quiet he says 'Okay' and keeps blithering on to his WoW buddies about random things. I don't know about you, but when you stay up late working on things, you don't like to be woken up any earlier than you need to be.

This is the life of my roommate - it can be divided into 4 things.

Sleeping - this is a random event and he is the only person that I've ever met that has a stranger sleep schedule than me - at least I am consistent in my 'sleep all day, be up all night' thing. He sleeps 4 hours, is awake 6, sleeps 2 hours, wakes up for 5 more, etc…

Reading manga - in the random unpredictable times that he is awake, he sometimes reads manga. This in itself is fine, but he reads it non-stop on his computer, and then randomly stops and falls asleep again.

Going to class - he only does this because he is in fact in college and attending class is in fact required to graduate.

Playing WoW - see above. When he isn't reading manga, attending class, or asleep, he plays WoW.

Things I have never seen him do: eat, do homework, shower, laundry.

My dad plays WoW now. It's incredibly annoying, and when he isn't working, that's what he does. I don't know how he could get into it. Probably a midlife crisis thing.

wow… (thats meant to be the exclamation not the game.. but haha at that). I hope my roomates wont be like that come september :S I am glad I never got into WoW, probably because I played RS before I heard of WoW and didn't want to play a different MMO and be a newb again :D Also… WoW was a ripoff when I first discovered it.

and to continue the trend:

WoW is… Mmm, crap.

Never seen the point of it, really.

I like my MMOs either fast, or slow paced. Not level grinding.

Perhaps he can tell by the bad smell.
