Considering we are now 15 years later and people + are *still* addicted to this game, I do not feel bad for my past + self. Well I guess I have to admit it. I was addicted to World of Warcraft. The key word here is was, and I am happy to tell you that I broke my addiction with a little reflection of just what the hell I was doing and why. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/man-goes-insane-and-burns-100000/ Fri, 11 Nov 2005 06:56:49 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/man-goes-insane-and-burns-100000/ > Thoughts from the future: + Sort of have a point. - No substance CNN.com – Virtual property yields $100,000 – Nov 10, 2005 Well not exactly burn, but the next best thing! Look, I have made some nice cash selling accounts to massively multiplayer games, even items, but $100,000 to buy a virtual property? This leaves me with no choice. I am going to unveil the “SUPER FABULOUS GAME WHERE EVERYONE GETS RICH”. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/blizzard-says-no-to-gay-marriage/ Sat, 04 Feb 2006 02:16:10 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/blizzard-says-no-to-gay-marriage/ > Thoughts from the future: + I am hoping this was changed in the last 15 years. Blizzard says no to any player who wants to role-play a same sex marriage. Apparently Blizzard has the policy that if anyone in the game ever thinks that what you say or do is offensive and they report it, then it is. This is the best policy to keep everyone happy, while at the same time pissing everyone off. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/oblivion-tops-hot-coffee/ Sat, 22 Apr 2006 04:51:57 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/oblivion-tops-hot-coffee/ > Thoughts from the future: + lol. I still think this kind of outrage is ridiculous. Everyone has heard of the Hot Coffee controversy courtesy of a modification to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that allowed you to have “sex” with a pixilated nude woman in the game. It was retarded, as Maddox pointed out, because it is a freaking game where you run around and steal cars and shoot police. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/jack-thompson-discovers-people-are-nude-under-clothes/ Mon, 08 May 2006 17:47:40 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/jack-thompson-discovers-people-are-nude-under-clothes/ > Thoughts from the future: + Still crazy. Still true. Our favorite asshole lawyer, Jack Thompson, has discovered gasp that people are actually naked under their clothes. This revelation came when Jack discovered that the game Oblivion accurately rendered women nude under their shirts. ............................................................................................................... ...............::::;;;;;;;;;::;;;;;;;++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++;;::;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;:::::............. ...:::....................................................................................................::... .:+==+++;:.......;+====;::;;:::::......:;;:................:;;:...::::::.......:::::....::::::.......:;+====+:. .:;++++;;:......;=xxxxx+:=xx=+xx+:...:;=xx=;::;;;;:::;+++======+::;++==+:.....:::;+::...;;+++;:......;======+:. ....::..........:;;;++;::+xx=+xx+:...;===;;:::;+=xXX$XXX$$$$XXXX=+=x====;......::;:.::..:;;;::.......;;;;;;;:.. .....................................::::::;=X$$&&&&&&&$$$$$$XXxXXXXx=+:....................................... ........................................:=XX$&&&$$$$&$$$$XXXXXXXXXxxXXx=;...................................... .:;++;;;::......:::;;:::.:::::;;:......;x$$$&&&$XXXXXXXXxxxxXXXxxxxxXXxx=;.........::................;;+++++;:. ;;=xx=xxx+:....:;++====;:++;;;xX+:....+XX$$$&&$XXxxxxxXXxxxxXXxxxxxxx=xxx=;:.:;+===xx=:.:+===+;.....+xx===xX=:. ::++=====+:....:;+++===+::::::++;:...;xXXX$$$$XXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxx=======xxxx+::+=xxXXXx;:;+===+;.....+===xxxx+:. ..:::;;;;:......::::::::.............;=xXXXXXX$$$&#&&&&&$$XXxx=======xxXXxxx+:+======+:.............:;+++++;:.. .....................................;xXXXXXX$&#########&&$$$XXxxxx==xxxx====;................................. ....................................:;=xXX$$$&&&#########&&&&$$$XXXXXxxx=====;:................................ ....::;;;:......:+++===+;+xx=+xx+:..::+xX$$$$&&&&&&&&&&##&&&&$$$$XXXxxx======+++++++;::;+==+;:.......:::::::... ::;+=xXXx+:.....:;+==+;;:=xX=+XX+:...:;=xXX$$&&&&#&&&&###&&&&$$$XXXxx=xx====++=xxxxXX=+XXx==++:......;;;+++;:.: .::::::;::.......:;++;;::;==+;++:....:;+xXxX$$&&$$$&&&&$XXXXxxXXxxxxxx=====+::+=xXX$$=+xx=+;:::.....:;;;;++;:.; .....................................:+=xxXXXXxxx=xx$&$Xxx======xxxxxxxx===+::.:::::::.::::...................: ..................:::::....::........:;+=xxXXxxx==xX$&$XXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxx===:......::::......................... .....:::::.........::::....:...:........::+x$&$XXXX$&&$$$$$XXXX$$$Xxxxxxx=;......:::::::..:::::..........::::.. :::;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;++++++++;:++===++=+++=+=X$&&&&&&&&$XX$$&&&$$$XXxxx=xx=;:;+++++;;;;;;;;;;;;;:::::::::::::::. +=+;:::::::::::::::::+=;:;;:.:+xxxxxxxxxxx;;xX$&&&&$&&&$XX$$$&$$XXXxxx==++;:;;+;;;;++;;;:;;::;;:::::::::;;:..:: =+;::::::::;+;:.....:+=+;;;:.:=XXXXXXXXXXx;:+X$$$$$$$$XxxXX$$$$XXXXxx===+++;+++++++=++++;;;:..........:::::.... ++:.......:;+;::::::;=xxxx+::;xXXXXXXXXXXx;.:=XXX$$$$XXXXX$XXXXXXXxxx==++=+;==+++++++;;+=+;:....:::.:..:....... ++;;;;;+++++;:::::::;++=xXx=++xXXXXXxxxxx=+;:;xX$XXxxxxx===xxXXXxxxx==+++++;+=========++=xxxx===+;:::;;;:..:;;; ;++++++++;;;+=xXXXXXXXXXXXXX==XXXXXXXXxx=;:.
