Hey! I was texting a friend about this article and I thought you'd enjoy it. Ever play this game again?

I did enjoy it, thanks. I'd heard some of the stories but I'd forgotten about the Warcraft neglect thing. Spooky.

And no. Haven't touched Ingress since. I may try it once I move; eightbitsamurai had such a completely different experience than me I wouldn't be surprised if Los Angeles were simply the exact wrong location for Ingress.

Yeah, not as bad here. I stopped playing a long while ago, though, I liked having my phone battery stay above 50% before 4 PM.

Remember how I mentioned that I would NEVER touch an MMO, or League of Legends, or Starcraft, or something like that? This shit is why. I legit shivered reading all of that.

Backintheday I bought an Ensoniq Soundscape sound card to run... Cakewalk? I think? and it came with the first chapter of Warcraft 2.

And I played it for 16 hours, ran out of content, and immediately started scheming as to how to get the rest of it. And then realized I'd just pissed away 16 hours.

First and last time I ever played Warcraft.
