AWKWARD ZOMBIE

While 'ise' endings have more or less gained acceptance in British English, 'ize' still more accurately reflects etymology and is strongly preferred by the Oxford English Dictionary.

Fuck popping in just to talk about WoW, try joining a comic forum for the sole purpose of wordnerding. OhgodI'msoalone


(No really guys I was totally going to join anyway. Maybe. Probably.)

Well at least you came. You get an E for effort.

I'm old skool - don't make me get Shakespearian on your booty!



English spelling is all over the place anyway. My dictionary does spell apologize with a 'z', but then it spells exercise with an 's'. To my ear - exercise has more of a 'z' sound at the end.

I really don't care that much, my English is better than average, but I still confuse words like 'where' and 'were'.

Jeezus H! Even 'Shakesperian' has rival spellings - 'Shakespearian' and 'Shakespearean'.

Haha, yes. No worries - not a grammar/spelling nazi here, just an incurable nerd. Standardization is only truly important in formal writing, where stilting the natural evolution of language ensures readability for generations to come. ...I've just developed the most bizarre pet peeve against seeing the 'ize' ending referred to as American, and.. well. I am terribly impulsive in early mornings.

Somehow I forgot to mention up there how much I liked your edit up there. Apparently mornings make me a little retarded, too.

This comic reminded me of when I was beating up on the sandbag in Brawl. Just for the "damage delivered" rank.

I'm not even American and I know that having someone at Fox News agree with you is going to make it less true quicker than more so.

"more quickly"

That was an excellent first post.

You dolt

...Why do I feel I've either hit a nerve or missed an obvious joke by some miles? Either way, sorry, whatever I did ^^;

He didn't even intend to troll you, yet he pulled it off magnificiently. Your gullibility serves to bring lulz in us all.

It was sarcasm

Haha, fair enough. Well, this went well for me.

I'm not gonna say anything else on this thread or I'll probably just end up digging myself a bigger hole

Whoops~

The post was mainly so I could yell at you guys for whining about people with one post. I've seen it in other threads that I've lurked before on here, and it's annoying how you guys whine about it. (Oh look, I've got a second post now! ;D)

Either way, back to the topic, I think I already stated that I liked the comic.

If you want me to try and elaborate as to why I believe WoW sucks, I could try; but without having played it thoroughly, I have no pool of knowledge to back myself up with.

WoW is just like any other online game, there's nothing to differentiate it from any other. Hell, theres even a free MMO, 4Story, which is just like WoW, and that's just as bad. MMOs often have no story, besides small tidbits of background story, and whatever you learn through quests.

MMOs have no end, they will always go on and on until the company finally stops updating the game, after the players finally leave for something better, come some 20 years probably.

Grind...who needs it? I hate grinding in anything and everything. If I ever were to play WoW again, it would be a private server, but that's my own fault.

I'm also not keen on the level cap. 70? That's awful low for an MMO, no matter how hard it is to get to that level. That too, the difficulty and time WoW consumes, just to get to such a level, it's not worth it.

I honestly can't think of anything, as I only played for a couple hours. There was nothing about the game that made it worth playing.

And you can't just go and say "it get's better", or something. A game, just like a book, needs to hook you in from the beginning.

As I said, I have no pool of knowledge to use, but these are just some reasons, that you probably find minuscule, for my believing WoW to suck.

Also, if you want a list of online games, so as not to be vague, I suppose it would only be fair if I listed games I've played.
I also have to mention, most "online games" I play are Free to Play MMOs.

MapleStory, Mabinogi, Trickster Online, 4Story, Final Fantasy XI, WoW, RuneScape, S4League, GUNZ, Ragnarok Online, Granado Espada, Atlantica Online, 2Moons, Cabal Online, FlyFF, Rappelz, Combat Arms, Audition, MegaTen...

There are probably a ton more. If you notice, only 2 of those are actually pay to play. Even so, what differentiates these games from each other? Well, besides the types (RPG, FPS, etc.), is the unique features of the game. Atlantica Online, you control a band of mercenaries, up to 9 characters, and can party with other players up to a party of 3, for a total of 27 characters in battle. That's truly amazing. Granado Espada (Sword of the New World), you control three characters at once, and the game has fighting styles per character, according to what they can equip, and so on. Mabinogi, a game with so many paths to wonder, opposed to just combat and grind, or dominating the markets. I could try to list things about each game...and when it comes to WoW...what does WoW have? Nothing. It's just a stereotypical RPG. There is nothing unique or fancy about it. WoW sucks. And just so you know, that's my opinion. If you don't think WoW sucks, OK. You don't have to get butthurt though, and start naming what I say bigotry and demeaning my post, when I only said WoW sucks. The post wasn't even about WoW sucking, and you chose that most irrelevant piece of information to reply to. Really. :/

Holy fucking shit.
