Everyone talks about what WoW is and isn't. So do I. It's fun. And cathartic. Venting is good for the soul. It quells obsession.
Obsession.
It's like when you have a crush on a girl and you steal a few of her shirts in order to cut off the sleeves to secretly wear on your arms and legs alone in the dark in your room. Gosh that's hard to read.
Moving on.
She wore these. They smell nice. I'm not weird, this is love. Healthy. Healthy love. Like on Discovery with those wildebeests and llamas and shit. With less defecation on the face. Fine, comparable defecation. Actually, that's quite gross and is really that one line to never cross. I'm fucking done with you once you actually starting shitting on people.
It's a weird thing though, because I can't help but feel that the type of writing that comes from this type of venting was previously (as in the pre interwebz days) highly personal. Not something intended for everyone to read and analyze. You have grievances with something of value in your life. You come to term with them through writing them out. Analyzing them. It's become a communal exercise and WoW has increasingly become a game shaped very often by its players' personal frustrations. Or more simply, people get angry and complain and the devs cave in to the whiners emotional demands. The you're-crazy-bitch-I-still-love-you-stop-fucking-crying effect.
I've been reading Zilea's blog a lot recently and despite its prior season-two-of-OC-Seth-Cohen-emoness (read: abundant paladin nerdraging), it's become one of the more enjoyable blogs on Gameriot as I weirdly connect to the experience. Yes, weirdly. Granted that being complemented as one of the best on Gameriot is not exactly stellar praise, but I don't much like saying nice things about people as a rule. 'Gratz on not coming in last place in the Special Olympics of the internet' is more my style. Hey, it's a complement, chill bro. Oh yes, I had a point. Zilea has been talking about the inexcusably terrible downtime and long queues even post 2.4. Motherfucking word. The current matchmaking system blows on live servers. The queue times are a nice catch-22 as well -- queue times suck because lack of players and because of the sucky queue times, players choose to do something else. Such is life. Scrap 2s, link battlegroups, allow challenges, or kill yourselves.
Totally unrelated but that's how my retarded brain works --I'm perpetually confused when I see people talk about going casual in WoW and how this inevitably triggers tons of comments on how the "quitter" should be proud about getting back to real life priorities. As much as I love to dick about how stupid WoW priorities can be, real life stupidity is reasonably comparable.
There are people who go to wine-bars. They know about chardonnays. They enjoy multi hundred dollar tasting menus where every other course is some sort of foam. They're faux sophisticated but if they're our generation they still are true to their "roots."
Fake Douchebag: Back in college I used to play Counterstrike. I was awesome, wish I still had time for games. But you know how it is, man.
Me: Yeah, that's nice but I have to go put my --
Fake Douchebag: Yeah this map assault man. I used to play it with my roommate all the time
Me: ... in your girl's -- Huh? Assault? (WTF)
Fake Douchebag: Yeah with the cameras and boxes. DE_ASSAULT BRO. Good fucking times.
Me: D...E?
Fake Douchebag: Anyways, look man, I think it's great you still play games and cards and stuff
Me: ...
Fake Douchebag: (to his too-hot-for-him-gf) Let's go, hon. (to you) Blow my cell bro. We'll geek it up.
Me: (to nobody) D fucking E
It's okay. His girl gave me head.
Fine, that's a lie. But I did pee in her purse. She had lipstick in there. She puts that on her mouth. So she basically sucked my dick and swallowed.
Five degrees of separation from my penis. Penis->Urine->Purse->Lipstick->Mouth.
How many degrees of separation are between YOU and my penis?

I thought the shitty queue times were because too many people were queuing, not too little...

WIT DA REACH AROUND =)
d.i.c.k.s.
Scrap 2s? Sorry buddy ro, but that's the best bracket.
So what happens when your real life priorities become your WoW priorities?
That's when the true inner baller is unleashed. Instead of dreading having to go to work instead of play WoW, your work is WoW. Since my career as a professional WoW text rapper is on the backburner atm, it's time to consider the related World of Warcraft job fields.
> How many degrees of separation are between YOU and my penis?
None Raddy. I'll send you the bill for the High Five med cocktail later.
don't scrap 2's
I only like 1 person in this world
from what lolblues say on the forums, crappy 2s queue times are from overloaded matching servers and the fact that server priority goes to 3s and 5s. This fact seems to be supported by the fact that on monday nights they can get up to 15 mins.
Battleground queue times are diff. story, but for 2s it's TOO MANY ppl queueing.
Hey, 2s is my fav bracket too
I've heard it's the fact that too many are Qing, but I never see more than 2-3 teams a night when running 2s usually.
"I've heard it's the fact that too many are Qing, but I never see more than 2-3 teams a night when running 2s usually."
That's because 2s times are also adversely affected by how many people are q'ing for 3s and 5s. The way I understand it from what Blizz has said, all brackets are handled by the same matchmaking server and it just spends more processing time on 3s and 5s. So you can have only a few people queueing in your rating range for 2s, but still be fucked from the popularity of 3s and 5s.
I said, word.
I don't think the matchmaking server is the problem...
I think the problem is that they only have a certain number of arena instances per bracket. For example say they have 100 instances for each arena bracket. Since there are less teams queuing 5s and 3s than 2s, you get more backup for 2s. If 400 2v2 teams are queuing 2s, only 200 can be in at once, so you spend at least 50% of your time outside of an arena.

I was hoping to actually read something about kevin bacon, or at least chuck woolery...
