A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.

– John Updike

Sometimes I wonder if people that log into MMO chat rooms are unable to read the the stuff they type/say.  Like there’s some sort of strange polarized glass that they hang over their monitors that prevents them from actually being able to read what they’ve just typed.

One of the most irksome things that happens all to often is someone logs in and immediately declares “I’m bored!”

Although it’s been said more eloquently by others, Harvey Danger said it most succinctly in their song Where have all the merry makers gone? “If you’re bored then your boring.”

Closely following the “I’m bored” is the person who decides to log into the game to explain that because they’ve played for multiple years (usually longer than the game has actually been out) they’re the expert to explain why the game sucks so much.  I mean, I guess the only response to these people is “Let me guess.  You’re bored?”
