I never really got into it much. It was an okay way to kill time for a while but I actually never really cared for it.
I stayed away from it until whatever addon came out before the Ice Lich King or whatever that was because I'd heard so many horror stories about people getting addicted to it and I tend to have addiction problems.
But then I hit a low point in life where I thought I really didn't have much to lose so I was willing to give it a shot and so I pinged an old high school buddy who I thought would like it and we decided to give it a shot. To my surprise it didn't hook me at all.But then the only reason I kept playing it was because it instantly sucked my friend in and that became the only way we kept in touch.
Once we hit the maximum level I was pretty done with it and stopped playing. That was the last I heard from him. He cut me off entirely after that.
My partner had a family friend who moved to Australia and needed our help to get their money out of their account and move it to another account. We had to go around town and pull money from ATMs for like two weeks so my partner could then send it via Western Union to them.
We went to HyVee or Kroger or whatever it was down the road from where we lived with this $6000 wad of cash and asked to send it. The clerk behind the counter about jumped out of her skin and called security, and two big guys in uniforms promptly stood around us eyeballing everyone who came within 5 feet of us while the clerk counted and stashed the cash. It was surreal. Up until that point it never dawned on me just how dangerous it was to do what we were doing.
i have a shitty samsung tablet with a god awful case that doesn't let it stand up on its own very well, but it would be okay for something like this. I was thinking just last night, I wish I had a tablet similar to the iPad but that runs a rootable android or other OS so I can control wtf it is doing
this is really not a helpful comment and your name does seem pretty apt
