Where is the social?
By Ekasra 4 Comments
I know that many who will read this will not be entirely familar with my gaming background over the past year or so. About a month or two ago, I quit World of Warcraft, which had been the only gaming experience I was having for the past three years. Needless to say, it's a very social game, and the leaving all of my friends and guildmates was a tough decision in the end.
However this isn't a thread about my gaming history and another topic about me leaving WoW. I pose this question to you: What communities, other than Giantbomb, are effective ways of meeting other gamers who share a similar passion for gaming. Although I have plenty of friends that I see in the "real life", we don't really have similar interests, especially when it comes to gaming. My girlfriend is the same way, though she likes to rock out in Rock Band on easy vocals from time to time. Since WoW, I've been pretty introverted while gaming, especially on Xbox Live because most I encounter aren't the brightest lightbulbs in the box. Anyway, I'm sure you guys can come up with some answers.
