Hanging Up The Cape

Even in the vast expanses of the desert, lunacy and idiocy manage to find Star on Chest, and it all becomes just too much to bear.

Damn, the title of the thread is misleading when you see it in the "Latest Posts" list.

World of Warcraft? Nooo, can't you play some other obscure MMO no one else plays?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

YES!

Are you going to play WoW on a role-playing server?

 

[twm1709]

the ending was kinda weak but the series as a whole was fantastic! looking forward to WoW

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Cool! Seeing as your series is the closest I've got to playing an MMO thus far, it'll be nice to see just how WoW rakes in the dough.

 

[Andronicus]

Is the WoW one new? Or is it one Shamus did before, like this series of Champions online?

 

[Raithnor]

Shamus, you should try giving "COH: Going Rogue" a shot, the graphics are somewhat dated but the plots are marginally less goofy.

Just read pretty much the entire series today, really enjoy these Shamus Play's (slightly prefered the LOTRO one) but a WoW should be highly humours.

The wow is going to be brand spanking new, or at least I havn´t seen it on twenty sided.

 

[Vyce]

WoW. Oh dear god.

 

[Tahmoh]

You should give champions another look theyve improved a fair few of the wonkier missions and questlines and added some new stuff that star on chest may find fun (serpent lantern for instance is basically kicking vipers arse in africa) plus i cant see how WoW is gonna be anywhere near as fun as the adventures of star on chest were.

Marginally? They shine like Oscars compared to this drivel.

Honestly. I actually felt relieved that my trial finished when it did. That actually went beyond Meyer into realms of "My Immortal" at times.

You deserve a medal for just putting up with it Shamus.

DDO could use the treatment even if it is another turbine game. The recently added quest lines are REALLY good.

Some of the earliest plotlines had issues. The "revolving door that is the vault of MAGI" is a joke that never quite gets old.

The newer stuff is light-years better then the earlier stuff but even in the early days the stories tried to take themselves somewhat seriously.

I don't know if the art style in Champions dictated what the writing style should have been or if the reverse was true.

True, but how many times have you done Frostfire in a row? 5? 10? 15?

Even the [Row of 15 Expletives] Malta missions are well written. Not to mention the NaziCouncil WereWarwolves.

And - Seer Marino / Rescue the Journalist.

Now, where's that journalist and what are all these bodybag...

Or the Mafia Enforcer mission where they're doing it for their sick kid...

Seriously...against the Channel 5 afternoon sitcom scripts Champions had? Oscars.

 

[greenflash]

i say you do one for Minecraft

 

[NooNameLeft]

Wait a second.
Shamus is going to play Minecraft AND wow at the same time?
is that even physically possible?

 

[sooperman]

i say you do one for Minecraft

That would be amazing, but MineCraft doesn't have quests or plot lines. Or even NPCs, for that matter. It would be strictly player interactions.

But if you're even on MineCraft, Shamus, there's always room on the server.

I just did!



Maybe we'll do something exotic again after WoW. I might have to, if they keep delaying TOR and DCU.
