WoW wear & tear.

In Uncategorized on July 1, 2009 at 7:52 am

So last night my third headset died since I’ve started playing WoW (well, at least since I’ve started playing WoW with VOIP). This got me to thinking about the real life wear and tear of WoW (other than to our social/sexual/professional lives). For example, in addition to the clear need for me to buy headsets in bulk, on my laptop there is a crescent-shaped “stain” (for lack of a better word) where I rest the palm of my left hand while it hovers over the movement and frequently used number/function keys. If you look around your WoW-playing environment, what signs do you see that someone has spent WAY too many hours there and in Azeroth/Outland/Northrend?

  1. I use an optical mouse without a mousepad and I’ve worn the finish off of my desk in my “mouse area.” I also have a similar “stain” on my keyboard as well as my mouse.

  2. …”sexual lives”? Care to elaborate further?

  3. I had that “stain” too so now I just put a piece of tissue down on that part of the laptop. Problem solved! I guess I have sweaty palms =(

  4. @K: I’m just saying.

  5. Some of my keys are wearing away.. and I actually think the heel of my palm is a little shinnier then my left because I am more likely to rest my palm on the desk when using my mouse.
