in a lala land of gaming. chugging ahead in entropia, play everquest ii long enough to earn loyalty tokens
play diablo in 2 minute blocks and auction house checks and reprices. did a download to update WOW. may end up in that one. other gaming would be in metagames. book buying and selling. contemplating paying for trailblazer’s package with eq next and landmark. After all it’s only money. $100. small risk for where i’m at and the results of some of my more, out there, activities. Ah the pursuit of fun and money. Endless circles of ebb and flo.
Of course cycling seems to me to be the natural state of things. By making the most of each part of up and down, the interest, i can compound and find the 80/20 of what i want to do and what i am doing. I don’t play games to the point of exhaustion anymore. After an hour i take a 10 minute or more break, then back at it again for another hour. It seems 45 minutes is also a good stopping point. Keeps the activity fresh and snappy. For sessions that go over that
I can’t cope and end up taking long hiatus’s from the offending game. days worth out of world. But because i have had more than my fair share of fun, I keep coming back.
I was thinking of storytellers and storytelling earlier today. Reminescening on how a library children’s story teller captivated an audience of 20, mostly children but some adults who could learn a thing or two about what people like to hear and take an interest in.
I wonder if there’s any pop music based around mmo gaming?
I note references in pop culture to mmo’s on Big Bang Theory. Probably the most visible and known reference. But in music and particularly pop music it may be hard to find. Pop music crossed with mmo’s crossed with Farmville.
What would that look like? Speculation for later.
