Humanity is ending! Wait lemme save real quick. (Profile Post)
The online world has two faces. Its a god send and its the devils cake. As an avid citizen of the online world, I could vouch that it can rapidly change from a safe haven to the Apocalypse at the drop of a Warlord Skullcap(Warhammer reference). I have seen flamers have a feast upon my friends, I have had my caps lock on auto drive, I have seen hours of just nonstop ‘STFU NOOB’ being thrown around and sometimes I will take a step back after an epik 3 hour long flame war, and think to myself ‘why the hell am I wasting my time with this?’ (answering this question with a well deserved facepalm). However I cant say that I’ve never experienced a good time online. I have met a nice group of friends who have been with me for several years now, but this is exactly what John Funk means when he wrote Virtual Worlds and MMORPGS: The Best and Worst of Humanity. John Funk is a gamer and a reviewer, who is mostly seen on either The Escapist (known for the critic god “Zero Puncuation” Yahtzee Croshaw) or WarCry Net. Both sites are heavily into gaming and expand from MMORPGS to console games. His blogs consist of various game reviews and sometimes poking deeper into the mechanics or appeal of the game and every once in a while he takes a step back and looks at the bigger picture. He discusses current events in the gaming world like UN Group Urges Japan to Ban Explicit Games and Manga, Aion: Making East Meet West, or like Juan Carlos Pinerio Escoriaza’s Second Skin documentary (discussing people with virtual lives), which I find particularly interesting. Overall his blog touches on the topics I want to explore and in particular, his “Virtual Worlds and MMORPGs: The Best and Worst of Humanity” discusses the virtual lives of people that I am really planning to look into (however my view might be a little more…gritty or just plain biased to a certain point). He really takes the time to research his topics and brings in a lot of first-hand sources; he does a lot of interviews with common players and even the designers of the games. John Funk seems to be on similar wavelength as me, as far as what gaming world topic that he discusses, and he could provide a very good researched base for my topics which I intend use and abuse, but he tends to take a very neutral side on every topic he discusses. Which could be exactly what is appropriate for his purpose or for that site, but I intend to take these topics down where the sun don’t shine. I want to get a more realistic view from players and I plan to be able to go to various forums and actually get direct responses from players. For me, I dont want sugar coatings on my posts, and I wont make nice. posted by GOTOMonster @ 10:26 AM On Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 10:26 AM

About me
So, My name is Goto. Im a addicted gamer who'd probably be found dead one day in her room clutching a mouse and a cup of noodles. Im what people
call, a Zai Nu (在 女). Which is a girl version of a lazy person who sits eats sleeps and poops, at home while playing video games all day.
