Boy thanks WoW for avoiding moose attack injury
NyghtcrawleR \| 6:51 PM on 12.07.2007	8 comments

This is a story from the Netherlands:

After playing World of Warcraft, the 12 year old boy knew how to cope when he was attacked by a moose in the forest.

In the article he describes how he first yelled at the moose, distracting it so his sister got away, then when he got attacked and the animal stood over him he feigned death. "Just like you learn at level 30 in World of Warcraft."

Now who says you can't learn useful stuff from WoW? All I have to say is - I am really really glad his skills at feigning death were not resisted by that beast. Imagine if it had been an immune elite...

So a few things come to mind here I have to say.
1. Less importantly, why in the world did a moose attack him to begin with?
2. He learned how to "play dead" from WoW.... Explain how the game actually taught him this. Imagine he sees the moose and then is like "oh crap what to do?!$% Oh yeah, WoW duh...." (feints)
3. What is this world coming to?
4. Freaking hilarious

Good thing he wasn't a Second Lifer. He probably would have tried to initiate sexual relations with the moose.

@ MaxVest
That's how you get the baby moose pet.

Clockwork

I never knew mooses--or is it moosi--attacked little children. That's the best part of this whole story.

An average Canadian could take a moose down, easy.

Well I guess about me...

Basically, I am currently in my 5th year of college as an Architecture major and I have one more year to go after that. Love design to death even though it can suck all your energy and life away. I've been a gamer since I can remember. Had an Atari when I was like 4 and been going strong ever since. I love video games for what they are and I'm not big into arguing what system is better than another (unless someone really irks me the wrong way). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I guess since this is my blog, I will admit that I am diehard Sony fan, tried and true. It doesn't mean that I hate the 360 or Wii or whatever, it just means I prefer my PS3 and PSP. Oh, and I'm also a Socom fanatic. Love the game to death and still play to this day. Confrontation anyone? I also can't forget my SNES. That was the console I truly "grew" up on and love it dearly.

Don't lie, you want it.

I think most people will realize that I'm real easy to get along with. I might have my opinions but if you can respect them then I can respect yours. If everyone on the internet stopped being good for nothing fanboys it would make life so much easier...

The Destructoid community is a fun one to be a part of. Feel free to hit me up, disagree with me, say you hate my opinion, befriend me, or whatever else is on your mind.

Last but not least just remember my favorite quote ever, "I guess if luck wasn't involved, I'd win every one."
