Benefits of being a former MMO addict

[eyefragment]

How I learned to enjoy working out: "I can do way more pushups now than I could do last month. LEVEL UP!"

How I learned to enjoy shopping for clothes: "I'm going to be playing as this character for the rest of my life, so I'd better customize him so he looks the way that I like."

Haha -- love the clothing attitude.

And I also think of working out as levelling up... actually, I think of many things as levelling up. Including cheeses, after a friend from grad school described some stinky French cheese as a "Level 3 cheese", in comparison to mozzarella, which was a "Level 0 cheese".

You know, I've always thought of you as one of those people who has hit the maximum attainable level in all of the skills that matter, and I was going to make some comment along those lines, but then I realized that I was being silly.

As with any good MMO, you can never truly beat life. There's always content that can keep you addicted. For example, there's that stinky French cheese dungeon that only a few adventurers have dared to attempt.
