The world of Online games

did not attend this class because it was snowing and I wasnt sure if I should trust the roads.I want to talk about the world of online games and just video games in general. I never had a real intrest in playing video games growing up but I rember when my father had bought a saga. His friends would come over and they would just all sit around and play for hours. As I got older and my intrest grew in to computers I would play a few online games once in awahile and try to download the occasional game.What came as a shock to me was how much my brother took to computers and video games. We have about an 8 year age difference. So All these fancy new games are things he growing up with and what kids are demanding to have these days. One year he asked for a playstation and I think I laughed and asked him who he thought was going to teach him how to play those games. There wasnt a whole lot of kids around with games like that. He taught him self and then it began. He had to have the latest in video games and machines. One day I had to decided to sit with him and play one of his games. I felt lost and resorted to making characters run backwards for fun. I always said that I wouldnt be one of those who just sat around and played games online or at home on the t.v. Now I feel im eating my words. There is game that some may be aware of and its called World of warcraft. It took me awahile to get use to playing it but now I spend more time on it then I should. For anyone who doesnt know it, its an online game that you can buy and it cost "40" for three month subscripition but cost even less if you have it on a credit card. There are over six million people who play this game and it only keeps growing.I never thought how competitive this business is because for a long time I didnt give it a real thought. You must really love it to keep at it because its ever evolving.
