One of N's favorite hobbies is video games. He's a total gamer. The top thing on his wishlist is a laptop designed for gaming. You can ask him anything about any video game and he can rattle off stats. It's like telling you the RBI's and batting average of every player on your favorite baseball team. It's a little eerie too.
About three months ago some friends of ours came over. They are both young, sweet and newlyweds. They sometimes play World of Warcraft together. Angela, the young wife, went on and on about how much fun it is. Since that dinner N has kept mentioning how much fun it would be if I were to just give World of Warcraft a try.
I hate this game. N can spend days playing this game. Days. Only come up for air when he's hungry. I don't like video games that much, let alone a game that can suck days out of you.
I will say N's been much better about limiting his time on the game, so the issues I have with the game are from past experience not current. However, I'm not too keen on combat games.
In an effort to bond with N, I decided I would try. I told him he could have 15 minutes of my time to teach me all about the world. After 15 minutes, I would be done. I may never play it again, but he needs to stop saying, "Angela plays it."
I created a character, played for my 15 minutes and actually liked it.
Don't tell N.
