World of Warcraft (Originally released in 2004 on the PC.)

Yeah, I play this too. This is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or more commonly called a MMO. World of Warcraft is huge. It is the most subscribed MMO for a reason. It is a very polished game. You don't just play this game alone. Well, I guess you could, but this is a game that millions of people are playing right at this very second. You have to pay a monthly subscription, but its worth it. You can join with almost anyone who is playing at the time and play together to make the journey more fun and entertaining. If you prefer, you can play alone. The choice is yours. That's the key with WoW, the options are nearly limitless.

When you first start the game you get to choose from a number of different races and job class combinations. Each race is different and you can choose from the likes of two different sides. The Alliance and Horde fight against each other and do so in the game as well. You can select to be on a player versus player server and fight the opposition whenever you see them, or if you do not want to deal with people trying to kill you all the time, you can play on a normal server where that option is removed. You also get to pick a profession like Blacksmithing or Leatherworking and that list is large as well. WoW doesn't do anything small. You get to create whatever you want and then the journey begins. I just made a human Paladin by the name of Deewade, a homage to my favorite basketball player right now, Dwayne Wade.

WoW has tons of collectibles. You get pets and mounts to ride on top of. They even added flying as a part of the game and you can now fly around the globe and see the world like never before. The game is beautiful and the amount of lore in the game would certainly fill up a section of some library if they ever wanted to do that. It is not for everyone, but I am having fun with it right now.

It sure does eat up a lot of my time though!
