General: Thankful for Gaming

in News & Features Discussion

Even curmudgeons are thankful once in awhile. We here at MMORPG.com are no exception. In the latest Coyote's Howlings, we take a look at that for which we are most thankful: Gaming. Read on and then offer a few thoughts about why you're thankful for gaming.

Me? I'd rather focus on the things that I'm truly thankful for: New games to feed my addiction.

With the recent releases of titles like Battlefield 3, Batman Arkham City, and Skyrim, we went from having a virtual drought to the threat of being washed away in flood of gaming that we can barely keep up with. And with Star Wars: The Old Republic and Diablo 3 right around the corner, we may have to sacrifice what little time we spend sleeping or actually working just to keep our heads above water.

    Thank you for starting my morning off laughing.  Oh, and can I please get in on that super criminal thing?  I'm really in a world takeover mood today.

    I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

    and I was thinking the golden rule of the internet is

    a men char is a men, a female char is a men, little girls are FBI agents.

    The MMO Trinity....pictualized.

    I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

    People got it all wrong, they need a holiday to be thankful. Also Thanksgiving was a reflection of a good years harvest and bounty. We simply take for granted this part because we go to a grocery store and get our food versus have to grow it ourselves, which many thousands of acres a year of harvest is lost. And so many people have no idea the amount of work that goes into putting their food in the grocery stores.

    Thanksgiving has became a primarily an invention to please the religious crowd, unfortunately people fail to give thanks where it deserves and that is to the great farmers of this country. Thanksgiving is a tool for people to say thanks to anything else but this, a strange holiday. As with Christmas, it has seemingly the same sense of forgetfulness of what the primary notion is about. Many of the American holidays are used to celebrate needless self derived ideas. Forgetting the true meanings behind them.

    Thanksgiving has become more to do with thanking everything other then what it's about and all about the day before you go shopping to buy more crap people do not need. I think tradition and values of yesteryear have faded away to the point people just use these holidays as they see fit.

    "Juuuust a bit outside..."

    "JUST A BIT OUTSIDE...."

    Anywho, let ME be thankful to YOU once again Mr. Sharptongue for a good morning laugh on this paid day off from work.



     

    Anyone and everyone can feel free to disagree with any or all of my opinions and observations whenever I rarely post them; it doesn't bother me one bit. Just know that I'll likely never respond to YOUR disagreement or personal attack, because I know better than to argue with idiots, especially upon internet Forums. See what I did there? -- Dinidain

    No I did not miss the point. You didn't see me Quote the OP did you? My post was general talk about Thanksgiving etc. So no I did not miss the point, I got the article thank you. Good job otherwise trolling or baiting me into something further.

    AGAIN, Mr. Coyote, you fail to mention Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I don't care for CoD, but dismissing like (because I'm not totally sure)the most successful game in history just because you don't care for CoD or think it's just another sequel is pretty lame. I mean you included Battlefield 3 and Arkham City so... lol

    Because CoD is just another sequel.  What is different between MW3 and BO or MW2?

    BF3 at least uses a much better engine and changes the gameplay a bit. And Arkham City is much more robust than AA was.

     

    I think i see a CoD fanboy.
