So on Saturday I watched the world premier of The Raid. It was a documentary on the social aspects of raiding in World of Warcraft. Here are my thoughts on it.
I thought that it was very I informative, but it was geared towards people who have never played WoW. What they talked about was how people who raid are actually gathering just like people who gather to participate in other hobbies. They mentioned the good and bad aspects of the game such as; playing with your friends, the sense of a accomplishment you receive after defeating the last boss, even talking about the drawbacks of playing too much
What I found most interesting was that there were doctors and professors who saw the value of this type of gathering. They all said that this hobby was no different than other hobbies. What they did say was that because of the stereotypes who associate with "nerds" gamers aren't always completely comfortable with talking about the game in public. They said that it was unfortunate for the time being but they believed that eventually things like raiding will be very important to us.
If you want to watch the hour long documentary you can either watch it today on gamebreaker.tv or wait for it to come to iTunes.
Also this weekend I have family over, to be specific my aunt and uncle from New Hampsire. On Saturday when they came we just hung around the house and watched tv and talked. Yesterday we went to the Civil War Museum at Gettysburg. That was the first time I had ever been in there, I had been to Gettysburg and around the battlefield before but never I to the museum. I found it to be really enjoyable. I will be posting pictures that I took yesterday on Facebook.
Until next time...
