I saw Ed Boon last year at a Pinball Expo. We made eye contact but I didn't say anything because I wasn't 100% sure atm. He tweeted later on in the night about the proto Doom pinball machine there and then I knew. But what would I say really? Thanks for MK?
Point at him and go "Get over here!" And then outstretch your arms for the hug. Then when you've got him in your deep embrace you whisper in his ear, "Your soul is mine".
@viking_funeral: I'm trying to think if I've ever gotten big time ASMR from a game before and I can't think of anything major. Probably because a lot of games are loud and obnoxious. The closest thing I can think of is very recently while playing Wolfenstein (New Order). Anya reads you those diary passages from the woman who kills Nazis, and it's a bit ASMRish.
I'm not sure if it was serotonin, dopamine, or something else, but I have experienced a high playing a game before. It was early last year while playing a World of Warcraft Vanilla server for the first time. I've played WoW since 2005, so it's a game that's very special to me, and carries a lot of heave memories and nostalgia. I didn't get the rush right away, but it was visiting Orgrimmar (a big faction city) that really set me off. Just seeing the old version of the city before they remodeled it in 2011 as well as all the people running around in their level 60 gear. It was like jumping in a time machine to over a decade ago. Walking out of the city back to my questing area with my friends, the music was playing and it just hit me really hard, unlike anything else I've ever felt from playing a video game. Considering my history with WoW and the circumstances, I don't think I could ever obtain that kind feeling again. I suppose it was a dopamine rush or something else, but whatever it was, it was very overwhelming.
Also WoW gold is paying for my copy so I can't complain too much.
Right that's an option. So you're telling me I should pick wow back up and play that until I can afford the PC version so I won't feel that bad about buying two version of Destiny (again)? Because it sounds like you're telling me specifically to do that. Well I guess I need to start playing wow again. goddamnit
Last time I checked, wow tokens were up over 100k gold a pop. You would need 4 of them to buy Destiny. That's definitely farmable, but if you just need an excuse to get back into WoW, Legion is really good.
I highly recommend 2011. Jonathan Blow vs the Microsoft guys, Mega 64, Justin Mcellroy, Dan Ryckert before he was with the site talking about his pranking days with Jenova Chen. Lot of really awesome stuff.
