That was really refreshing compared to so many games out there. I think it spoiled me -I couldn't get into World of Warcraft at all because everyone tended to look the same (and I hated getting water from the well and killing pigs). <br /><br />While it never crossed mind that I would ever meet anyone via a video game, it's not a bad way to do it. At least you know you have something in common! But it boggles my mind that we met at all, given there were twelve servers and who knows how many people playing. But I decided to invite "that guy that looks like Black Adam" to play on our team and the rest is history.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-57323021878762400122012-11-21T16:16:16.863-06:002012-11-21T16:16:16.863-06:00Never played COH, but it sounds cool.

Now I wish I had gotten into when it was going strong.<br /><br />I did play DC Universe Online for a couple of months, but once I maxed out my level, the game got a little too repetitious. I tried to play again recently, now that it's free, but I kept running into jerks who just wanted to fight, so I gave up. However, I do miss my creations The Green Cougar, Powerstar, Captain Mighty and others. So, I feel your pain Karen.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988016825582035390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-32026451227571274522012-11-21T16:13:29.078-06:002012-11-21T16:13:29.078-06:00I haven't played on my computer for some years...I haven't played on my computer for some years now.

Enormous fun, just coming back from my 3yrs in Germany on military tour.<br /><br />Thanks much for sharing.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-18260012397919956732012-11-21T10:00:27.180-06:002012-11-21T10:00:27.180-06:00I guess you're right Edo.

They are simply phantoms of whim and fancy, brought vividly to life in-mind and on-screen. And literally an off-switch can bring them to an irretrievable end.<br /><br />Man. . . does that make me melancholy. And I'm not even involved in the MMO world.<br /><br />Good job catchin' a real, live May-yun out of the deal, though, Karen! You're probably one of the Grand Priziest Winners they've ever had, without their even knowing it!<br /><br />HBHumanbellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-64351717475213342212012-11-21T07:13:15.671-06:002012-11-21T07:13:15.671-06:00Commiserations, Karen.

I carried on playing the old, blocky DOS version of Civilisation for YEARS after the news ones came out. <br /><br />BTW, I hope you haven't taken your husband out of the box. You know that massively reduces the value. <br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
