I haven't been on this site in a while and It has changed quite a bit -- for the better!

I hope to be able to contribute to this blog a bit more again. I have been going through quite a bit of change! It all started when my boyfriend of five years and I called It quits. This was a person I did tons of gaming and was comfortable with being a GAMER with. Yes, many of my friends don't game and god forbid I mention I game at work -- I'm sure to get a few puzzled looks from co-workers.

Most of my friends that are as passionate about gaming as I am, I have met online or on XBL. You would think, I would make some NYC gaming buddies, but I have not. Shortly after, I took a trip out to WA with a friend to visit some friends. On my seven day stay, most of our activities involved hangout and gaming -- and It was totally ok! You are most likely to say " you gamed with friends, so?" Most of my friends here would totally dismiss any idea of gaming and roll their eyes at me coupled with "you geek". So being in that environment was amazing.

Although I had settled on the idea to move to WA, this defiantly sealed the deal. Upon my return, I started to make all the plans for the move. Now, that move is only SIX days away! It is quite scary and exciting at the same time. I'm super excited I get to be neighbor with my good friends and have an amazing roommate, but also scared because I don't have a job, nor do I know how to drive! Being a city girl, I am totally dependent of my Subway system! *sigh*

The odd thing about all this is that I have BARELY touched my Xbox 360. I have been craving some MMORPG's. Sadly im on MAC so all the ones I would like to play again ( Ragnarok Online, Maple Story, Guildwars) are out of the question. My only option right now is: Starcraft, W.O.W and Second Life (if you can even consider that gaming). Does anyone know any MMORPGS for MAC?

Well, enough of my random ramblings. I'm off!

I have been playing Starcraft since about 2002. I do like that is both MAC/PC. I have been thinking about getting back to Diablo since it is also MAC/PC.

It's strange the gaming world still seems to be set apart from the mainstream. The only gamer folk I know nowadays are from working for a video game company, everybody else I know does that eye-rolling thing or something similar.

@Mxy: Thanks! I have never playing Second Life, but I was dangerously thinking about it for a minute or so.

You could use Bootcamp if you're on an Intel Based Mac. Otherwise, looks like Blizzard is the way to go.

If you download Cider or Wine, Guild Wars should run pretty decently with it.

I run vmware Fusion, but it doesn't seems to support any type of quality graphics. I Really hate that switching back and forward with Bootcamp.

I was going to make a joke about you being single now, but I refrained from doing so.

Welcome back :)

As for MMORPGs on the Mac, there's a free one called Oberin out there that's not the best graphically, but it's still pretty fun.

Its Diablo 2 all the way man, best blizzard gaem ever.

And starcraft, and warcraft, but WoW...its no joke, that shit gets people addicted, lots of people fail out of college because of it.

You should play WoW! On the Sargeras "realm". I know a pretty nice guild of good people I'm sure you could join. I'm sure they'd be happy to help ease you into the game. ;D

It's really not as addicting as some say. You just need to have self-imposed limitations. I don't allow myself to get addicted, due to work and college. If you just keep your real-life priorities above Karazhan and Arena, you'll be fine. :)

Welcome back.
Also, learning to drive sucks, but driving is the best.
Well, provided you don't mind ignoring a few... well okay pretty much every speed limit sign.
170 through canyon roads anyone?
