How SoR invades RL
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2005 3:18 am
I'm playing SoR since last September, and I noticed an increasing blur between RL and game world.
Examples:
- reviewed a document which mentioned the statistical method of 'Pearson-Clopper' and my brain immediately went: 'whoa, dangerous, aggro!'
- found (by pure chance) a bar called 'Rhizome'. It's nice, has cheap beer and good music , but I caught myself thinking: 'pitty they don't provide stabling facilities for Mektoubs...'. It goes without saying that I keep dragging my mates to this bar over and over again...
- read an article in the newspaper which used the word 'forage'. Made me sad immediately, 'cause I realized I was on the way TO work, where I have NO chance to log on and give that newly trained tracking stanza a try...seemed forever before I could dash back home that day...
Not to mention the feeling of disappointment when I finish a task at work and I don't get any XP
Looks like a serious form of 'SoR hookedness' here...
Guess many of you have similar experiences?
