I found these screenshots on my computer and I’ve started to get the old craving again, it’s comin’ back. I’m also done school in a few weeks and so my grades won’t be an issue (my average went from 72 last year when I played WoW to 82). I still have the game Everquest sitting in it’s package upstairs – I never even bothered installing it. But these screenshots reminded me of amazing times I had in Azeroth. It’s actually kind of strange, because some WoW moments I would almost classify as some of the funnest times of my life. The other day I was thinking about Heaven and then I saw a girl playing WoW infront of me in lecture on her laptop and I thought – it’s strange that my view of heaven is that it will be less fun than that game. It’s as if I have the Blizzard creators higher than their Creator. So maybe I need to just imagine all the fun and good times I’ve had and make that sum a glimpse of Heaven.
This picture is from a guild raid that we did on Redrock Ridge where we camped on the roof of this building and I chain lightninged people and NPC’s it was absolutely hillarious. Of course, apparently this is now bannable, which is ridiculous, but w/e, just another way blizzard ruins the game.
Aristotle talked about Eudaimonea – fullfillment/happiness, I distinctly remember last summer having put in a hard days work for 8 hours, worked with a friend and had a fun time for most of the day, and then coming home and sitting at the computer desk to play WoW while listening to some classical music. Months later when I read Aristotle’s Nicomachean ethics I thought those kind of happy fullfilling moments where nothing is wrong with the world. I also think about sitting looking at the stars, etc. Good ol’ Aristotle, I think he’d be a gnome mage. I wonder if I’ll start playing again…. Blessed Virgin Mary pray for me!
