About this episode
The episode discusses the host's mixed feelings about playing World of Warcraft and the repetitive nature of the game's grind.
I’ve given up trying to write unique titles for these posts. Thinking up a title is literally the worst part of blogging. Second only to finding images. Gaming World of Warcraft I don’t know why I’m suddenly into World of Warcraft, but I don’t like it. The problem is that questing and leveling up in WoW is pretty fun, but it goes by so fast and then it’s over. So you keep trying to chase that leveling high by doing all the other busy work in the game, and you quickly realize it’s just busy work and it’s not actually fun, but you keep trying to do the grind every day thinking maybe it’ll become fun if you just keep doing it over and over and over again, but it’s never fun, and you end up feeling sad and duped. Anyway, for some reason I got three characters to level 80, my main Night Elf Hunter, my venerable old Gnome Mage who I keep wishing was fun to play but Mages are uniquely annoying to solo with, and a brand new Blood Elf Paladin I just created for no apparent reason except I had a bunch of level 70 boosts to burn and I’d never played a Paladin before. It’s the first time I’ve ever had more than one…
