Aprilfoolsies!
But seriously folks, this needs to happen! XD It seems plausible though, and fun too! I mean, who wouldn’t want to have stats on their own job and daily routines? Take out the trash? Well that’s a daily quest for 50xp! Finish your data entry on time? 100xp and 5gold! Seems like we sometimes get more motivated to do things in wowland or other games than in the real world, so why not mix the two?
Edit! Extra Extra!
If you’d like to hear my horrible muppet voice, head on over to NightGig.com to check out the new comic podcast. I’m at the end, around the 1hr 18min 20sec mark.
Considering I usually check this from my eyephone this could be fun; until Tuesday hits and then the people will whine, “What gives Snowstorm! I can’t log onto Real Life!”
At which point the masses will turn to Second Life.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! real life down for maintenance! love it!
I tried 2nd life once… was horrified and hid in the corner. lol!
It’s not too bad. Essentially it’s a three dimensional chat room. Drama there tends to get amplified because of the anonymous nature of the Internet, except unlike our beloved WarCrack, the drama is more like the kind you had in high school with the pettiness and relationship problems (you mean the person with the cute avatar lied about herself on the Internet, NOWAI!). except more often.
The economy and building systems are pretty cool, but I find it hard to stay motivated about those projects for long.
Mostly I just dislike the free form of it with little benefit. Every second I spend logged in there, I feel like I should be knocking off some loremaster stuff instead if I really got that bored.
There’s actually a guy who’s using a similar concept to remember to lose weight- I don’t remember details, but it’s called something like “Leveling down with WoW”.
heh, that sounds kinda fun! it would be interesting to see all the ways we could integrate wow (heck, we could do just about any game) into the real life. especially if it has practical uses.
Heh, my site made a better ‘April Fools’ - the bastards took the whole site down.. Ok, not that bad, they say they’re working on it but come on!
Grats on the podcast, guess the voice somehow suits Coffin.. in the positive way of course ;D
yikes! no, i think the best april fools was the ps3 last year or so when they made it so you couldn’t install linux because of “security reasons”
gg sony…
Maybe it’s cause I’m a hardcore Apple hater and a harcore Hordie, I figured Droid would fit in better with the Gobbos and iPhone would be a Gnome product. Go figure
once upon a time I was an apple hater… then after a Dell debocle, I became a hardcore apple lover! then that died… so now I’m all about win7 and linux mint.
heh, well, in an earlier comic I made the connection of goblins to apple, so I figured I’d keep going with the theme. and and and… droids use a linux base right? so you could install gnome panel on them… maybe… so… yeah… XD
On a side note: I’d totally use this.
sadly… me too…
lets get some programmy type peoples working on this!
My better half and I have a system where we score points for doing household chores and other necessary but undesirable tasks, with rewards when we reach a certain number of points. I may have been known on occasion to declare “Ding!” upon reaching my next goal…
LOL! best thing I’ve ever heard!!! XD
U really a marketer?
