Funny story about buying COH so i don't have to type it in a forum

So several members of my baseball team began playing wow, and talked about it non-stop. literally.... i actually learned enough about mmos from listening to them that i could have jumped in a played any game (which i eventually did). this was partially due to the fact that i was kind of interested in the game, and maybe even buying, but that blasted monthly fee! anyways, i was walking around a store, when i saw this game called 'city of heroes', which claimed to let you be able create your own supehero, and play as him/her! i immediately bought it. then i got home, looked @t the back noticed it talked an awful lot about 'online play'.... then finally noticed that on the front it said 'massively multiplayer online game'. 'well,' i thought, 'i'll just play the free month.' of course, the family desktop @t the time would have taken literally days to download all the patches and issues that had come out while i wasn't playing, so i installed on my new college laptop... and promptly discovered that there was no wireless network near my house, and that hooking it up to the phone line was beyond the technical capacity of me and my family... the free month went unused, and i only really started playing once school started... anyways, that's the story. i could elaborate, but.... this is old/dumb already so tell me if you want more. cheers!
