But all that aside, I thought to come back here for a reason. I'm predominantly... nay PREDOMINANTLY a console gamer. Been that way since I was a tot playing the 7800. I love computers, but using them to play anything more than solitaire has never really... you know that's a lie. I recall hours at a time I would spend playing Wolfenstein and Doom. I played flight simulators and Oregon Trail. However games got beyond the limitations of my computers and being young, I never had the money to upgrade. But now that I'm a big boy with my own money I'e created a rig capable of playing big time games. Will it play Crysis? Eh doubt it. Hell it'd probably explode trying to play Duke Nukem Forever, but I don't know if that's the limitations of my rig or the once anwesomosity of Duke Nukem.
As a result of being a console gamer, I never got into MMO's. I used to thank my lucky stars that was the case but as I've grown older I see that people can play them responsibly and not leave their children and dogs to starve just to get that one item. So I've decided that for my first PC Game since Counter-Strike would be an MMO. No it's not WoW, I thought it would be, I've got a workmates that play. Me? Well I've chosen DC Universe Online. Grinding has never and I mean never been big on my list of gaming ideas. After the main story of an RPG, if I could beat the boss at level 40, screw it I'm not playing it. I'm hoping the mad, raging comic nerd in me will allow me to block my hatred of grinding, and it's level cap is currently at 30 so I'm hoping I'll be fine. I am concerned I'll just shoot through it though and not have much else left to do as it is in it's early stages. We shall see, it is the reason I'm writing here after all. I hope to keep this thing updated on what I'm doing as a character in this game, note whether I'm getting highly addicted or whether the game is not worth it. And hopefully after all of that I can play self-psychiatrist and analyze my patterns and truly see what kind of person I am.
Cheers,
The Burrito
