WoWtards, the Bane of the MMO World

 Let it be known that I'm a big fan of MMO's. I started off simple enough, the classic text style MUDs where you used to imagination to visualize what your character is seeing. There were no forum trolls back then. Nor was there any morons out there trying to compare every game to a "popular" MMO called World of Warcraft. Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself. But I'll just run with it. I remember watching a developer's video on WoW, and I thought to myself, "Great, this is going to be Everquest for retards." I could never have been more right on that assumption.

 But, being adventurous and needed something to do with my freetime, other than going out and drinking beer. I headed to the store, and picked up a copy. I installed the game as soon as I got home, and dove right in. I can say that I rolled my eyes at the character creation screen. Every single character, male and female all had disproportionate abnormalities. Like they were the product of a brother and sister incestial mateing. Swallowing down the bile, I finished setting up my first character, and nearly hit the floor as soon as I saw the graphics. Oh... my... god... My ten year old could have done better, and not made it look like it was vomited on for color. Needless to say, I ended up sticking to it until something better came along. I'm not going to waste words on what that something better is. But I will redirect myself back to the origional topic I had on hand.

 Words like WoWtard, WoWdiot, and Alihole were all words that I had coined while I still played. WoWdiot and WoWtard are the two that still stick. Not to surprisingly, they have even gained use in other games. Mainly because I'm the first one to say it. Why would I use words like this? Simple, it's a description to all the idiots out there that like to compare every game to World of Warcraft. Even sit there and try to claim that the current game they're playing is just like it. Even if the game play, quests, UI, and graphics don't even come to a close proximation of the worst game in MMO history. Either way, is it any wonder that the fanboys are all pimple faced, overweight, school aged kids that like to jerk off to Popeye armed female elves dancing in their underwear?

Anyway, I'm going to get the hell out of here before I puke. I'm sure you can put the rest of it together for yourself. If your a WoWtard reading this, don't waste your keystrokes trying to flame me telling me how wrong I am, and how I "fail" at life. If anything, I make more money than your mommy and daddy do put together, and at least I can pay for my own subscriptions, and don't live with my parents.
