I’ve been playing World of Warcraft (WoW as those of us in the know like to call it) for weeks now like crazy, and I’ve been wanting to write something about it, so today’s mikeschramm.com is a WoW joke. The problem is that, if you’ve never played the game, you may not understand it. In the game, there is a dungeon called the Deadmines. In the Deadmines, there are all sorts of evil miners who all want to kill you, and one of the quests in the game is to go into this dungeon, and basically eradicate all of these miners and their bosses. In addition, WoW is a massively multiplayer game, which means that day after day, thousands and thousands of players are coming into these same dungeons and killing these same miners time and time again, day and night nonstop. “Those poor, poor miners,” is what I thought.
“CONGRADULATIONS to Miner 3902, Target of the Month! He was killed 15,392 times in the month of April! Stop by to see Boss Whitcomb to get your golden pick!”
“PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FILTER IN COFFEE! HAVE SOME RESPECT!”
“PLEASE NOTE: Headquarters has approved better item drops for players as they come through. Before you head out to the mine area, please make sure to take lots of gold and items with you. After your death, please leave them in easily findable places so that we can supply players with the items they need. THANKS!”
“CURRENT DEATH TOTAL: 92% This is good, but we can do better! Please stop ganging up on players so much, so that they can kill you quicker and complete their quests! If we can hit 98%, we’ll get a pizza party!”
“RE: Lateness! The following people need to see Boss Whitcomb about the attendance policy: Miner 1923, Miner 1387, Miner 502, Deadmines Conjuror, Burmat the Crusher. Please be on time to all shifts!”
“Miner 1872 needs shift taken on Friday evening. Please call if you can defend the Forgotten Forge for him!”
“Trash goes in the can, not on the table! HAVE SOME RESPECT!”
