[Column] The Secret World: A Nightmare in The Secret World!

We aren't the first ones to think that there are parts of The Secret World that are just downright scary. In today's Very Scary, we explore that notion... but not in the way you might think. See what scares a man named Scary, and then talk about it in the comments!
The Secret World is the only MMO that gives me the creeps when I’m playing it at night. The sights and the sounds put me on edge when I’m playing in a dark room. One minute you are doing normal MMO things like picking up quests in town or crafting a double-barreled pump, pump zombie shakers, and the next minute you’re standing in a dark forest straining to see what is around the next tree. It makes you grip your mouse tight and sit on the edge of your computer chair in fear. All that stuff is pretty scary, but I discovered a nightmare in TSW that scares the crap out of me.

I beg to differ....

It's not only that, there are radio stations, gas stations, all kinds of stations in supposedly ultra-realistic battlefields of Battlefields 3. But have you seen any kind of toilet yet?
Mutants are allowed. War is okay. Sex & Violence: Yes, please! But pooping or nudity DON'T exist.
This article inspired me to go to the rest room right after I finished this comment.
There are two toilets in Kingsmouth (the one that gives the floater quest and the one in the grill). I'm sure there are more hidden inside all the houses and caravans - where do you expect them to be?
There are loads of little shacks in the amusement park - maybe one of those has a toilet inside.
There is also a toilet in Blue Mountains; a shack right near the start of the zone.
That's three more than I've seen in any other MMO...

Slow newsday, or bad hiring decision?
Horrible, awful, terribad article. Flame me all you want for not having a sense of humor about such things but, this is just fucking dumb.

There are several port-a-johns located around the maps ... you just haven't been sufficiently needy or observant.
Oh, and there's the Black House restroom ... but I really don't recommend it.
Well... I don't think you have no sense of humor, I just think it's shitty. You feast your big brown eyes on an article of this magnitude, and you don't immediately bust your gut laughing? Sounds to me like you've just got a crappy attitude.
I'll admit, the author does go on a bit too long about the topic, a bit of diarreah of the keyboard I suppose, but that' neither here nor there.
Poop.
There are toilets, port-a-pottys and restrooms everywhere... I think the author needs to look harder.
I understand the author is only in BM but there are at least half a dozen or more just between Kingsmouth, SC and BM. No you can't see every single one in every zone because houses are closed and locked.. but the ones you can go into generally have a bathroom (sometimes closed/locked). The mansion in BM has a nasty bathroom. The Wabanaki reserveration has restrooms. Port-a-pottys all over the construction site...
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Wow, Tesco Vee plays MMOs. I'd have never guessed.
(I'd venture to guess the over/under on people who get my bad joke will be 5)
Who the hell published this garbage on the front page? The author's account looks all but abandoned, and he hasn't even posted to the site since July 3rd?? 0 (ZERO) posts in the discussion forums? Is that right?

I think potty humor, as in attempting to wax poetic about *feces* for multiple paragraphs or an entire article, is garbage. I've never read a single article on this site that was anything like that before, and frankly I don't care to. The average age here might be a little too high for what amounts to YouTube comment humor.
If you are going to write for this site, you should start getting used to some criticism now. Some people will like your stuff, and some won't. I wish you good luck in your endeavor.
At least now you have your first forum comment since joining in 2008! If it's any consolation, I can't stant to listen to Ripper X talk either, though I'm sure he's a great guy in person.
