That's why I don't play MMOs right there- if I'm going to spend that many hours of my life, I want a big, shiny ending seqence as a reward. A fact that was re-affirmed for me when I finished Kingdom for Keflings single-player Sunday. King Kefling: 'Good job!' Me:... 'That's it? I don't even get a credits roll?'  I mean, even Animal Crossing worked the credits in so you could get that sense of completion even if the game didn't actually stop.
I would be more upset if it'd taken more than a weekend to finish... plus, being able to kick the lil' guys helps. 
Myoopi should recover. if those Japanese genetics folks can make him poop candy, they can make him MMO-resistant too.

Poor Nina (and Myoopi). That feeling of accomplishing something when you've really accomplished nothing at all makes me feel hollow inside, too.

Thank god I could never get into MMORPGs. On the other hand, it would keep me from going out into the world and buying Anime dvds I may or may not ever watch. It might be nice to have paycheck at the end of the month for... clothes...

I'll second that. Poor Myoopi. Oh that had me cracking up. Kevin always looks pissed of all the time. GAWD. I always wondered what online gaming was like, but I'm glad that I never got involved with that. Hell, I still remember the little bit of addictions I had when I used to play rpgs back in HS. You just get sucked in. Now I wonder how they can make your character dance.

Next week: Nina gets addicted to Jdoramas!
Hahaha, seriously, though, I spent way too much of my winter break watching Hana Yori Dango...then Hana Kimi...then finishing the TW drama Devil Beside You...then crying through One Litre of Tears...hahaha I am just addicted to dramas generally...you watch one episode then you are like...OK I am going to do something else. But wait! That cliff hanger! I need to find out if Makino jumps out of that window in the next episode (not a spoiler, because nothing like that ever happens in HanaDan hahaha)... But yes, if you really want something to eat up your time...finished series...it's kinda...interesting that way. |

I have a problem with both. On the one hand, I used to be good about keeping up with manga because I could read it at work on my lunch break, but I've fallen behind lately because I've had so many novels to read. For anime, I meet with a friend every Friday night to watch anime. So, I do get a fairly consistent anime fix. However, I have a backlog of anime that he doesn't want to watch that I haven't found time to watch on my own.

This is me in nutshell. I have a huge chunk of anime to watch still. Which is why I'm going to attempt to switch to Netflix and stop buying unless I really, really like something. I also agree with the previous statement that anime is like marijuana and WoW is like cocaine.
Yes, it's MUCH easier to keep up with manga, as I can read on the bus, or during my lunch, or in bed. I have never overbought manga and not read it (unless I completely lose interest and then once I realize that, I sell it). With my anime though, I easily have a half dozen movies and series that are still sitting there making me feel guilty as I log on to WoW for the next five hours... |

I'm the other way around. I can easily keep up with both anime and manga. It's my video game backlog that keeps on growing.

My video game backlog is my worst backlog of all.
My new year's resolution this year is to watch movies/anime and play video games for that very reason.

SailorButterly- Awesome job on the cosplay!!! Did anyone recognize you at the convention? The candy-pouch Myoopi is just.. super bonus points, right there!!
I am behind on videogames AND anime. Since working full time again and moving, I have barely made time for fun nerd stuff.. without ANN and game blogs, I feel like I'd get totally out of the loop. However, I did just get Guild Wars, which is really fun and not super addictive. |

Good lord, such MMO hate on these boards. <_<; As for -you-, I don't think you know what you're talking about. 99.9% of MMOs do not have daily maintenance at all, nor do they crash, nor do they have lag/network drops unless one's own connection is at fault. In short: Don't spread a bunch of crap about something you clearly are oblivious towards. While the comic was amusing, the replies here are downright messed up. Protip, people. Do you really think that if WoW really ruined the lives of everyone who touched it that it would have almost 12,000,000 subscribers with a userbase that's only going up? For the past two years I've maintained a 4.0 in university classes, while managing WoW daily. The vast majority of people play the game just fine, like myself, so get over your bias already. |

They did! I gave Myoopi candy-poops to anyone who recognized me. 
Thanks! |

Logically, all that these numbers imply is that their lives are not ruined to the point that they can no longer play the game. As for the experiences reported on this thread, it may take some time for some people to learn to pace themselves on MMORPGs. DVDs, at least, typically end by themselves. |
