Comic #10 WOW = World of Waiting

World of Waiting

World of Warcraft is one of the most popular computer games of all time. Me being a Warcraft III fan, I figured I'd try it out. Well after spending about 30 minutes installing the 5 dics I thought I was ready to go. I was wrong. I had to create my account, but in order to that I needed to get a game card (I thought we got a month free but we need to be prepared after that before we can play) So I had to get a card the next day. Then I tried to play it. It opened Blizzard Downloader, the most evil thing on earth. It took about 2 hours to download a patch. Then I tried to play, It started Downloading another patch. Which took another 3 hours not because I had a crappy computers the downloader takes forever, if you have a router and or a firewall, it takes a while to download. I had a router and firewall. I was so mad I was cursing Blizzard's name, but after 3 minutes of playing WOW I was in love with them once more.
