As far as history goes, last week was quite a week wasn’t it? I mean, how can the most important presidential election in a millenium be topped? Could it even be possible?
Hold on to your britches folks, cause this week is even bigger!
I speak of course of the fact that two of the most awaited games of all time are to be released within a day of each other: Animal Crossing: City Folk and World Of Warcraft: Wrath Of The Lich King!
< Animal Crossing
< Lich King
Animal Crossing is out Wednesday, Lich King thursday. I’ll buy both. In fact I’ll be at Wal-Mart on midnight wednesday night to get Lich King the second it goes on sale. Then I’ll play it like a maniac through the weekend. Of course during this time I’ll also play Animal Crossing, a game which by it’s very nature demands the player to play every single day without ever missing one!
Which will prevail? I have, for a few years now, alternated between saying that both Animal Crossing (previous versions) and WoW are both the most addictive games ever. The first Animal Crossing (on gamecube) I played every single day with no exceptions for six months. That said, my Warcraft character has 100 days (2400 hours!) total playtime!
It’s a good thing Winter is almost here. I may not be going outside for a while 🙂
Edit: as an addendum to my post, although Animal Crossing ships this week, it has a street date of Sunday. So my WoWing will be unimpeded for 2 days!
That 2400 hours has been spent over a few years right?
It’s more hours than I work in a year!
I started playing World Of Warcraft in April 2005, which was ~42 months ago…
If you do the math, that means almost 8% of my life since that day has been spent playing WoW. That’s an average of 2 hours a day…
