You can easily make your pupils big and black, Mary; just visit an optometrist.
No clue about the sparkly part, though.
Heh, true. I hate getting my eyes dilated!
how the hell can you wiggle your ears thats creepy
on a side note pink: Jenny and Yellow: Kendra ?
I trained my ear wiggle muscles when I was 8!!! I noticed when I smiled big my ears would raise and I isolated the muscles and practiced raising my ears without smiling. I’m pretty good at it.
That´s why I don´t use headset for talking/raid
It reminds me of a little problem at ICC25. The group was pretty strong, and we had a girl playing a pally tank at Marrowgar, the other tank DC´ed during fight and healers forgot about the girl pally tank. So she died and that was a Wipe. After all revive their chars, a guy said “you´d best go back to wash the dished instead of playing wow”. Seriously, everybody almost got deaf because the screamed like a crazy, I never saw somebody insult another person so much!
Was funny btw.
You think that is bad.I heard of on GM that would yell and insult someone in the same vent channel that everyone else was in.
heheh, voice chat while theoretically very useful, does have all sorts of pitfalls
Nice quick follow up strip, thumbs up
i hate the headsets part lol lol lol lol lol
love the transition of Mikes face from all bright and cheerful to o crap.
He obviously has been kitty trained.
Headsets, your best friend… or your worst enemy
When voice chat was out when I made my first comeback to WoW I called it robot talk ala team speek.
nothin’ quite like playing Richard B. Riddick as an undead toon and then hitting up voice chat. “you’re a GIRL!?” “…wait, if I flirt with you, does that make me…” XD
Did they ever fix the internal Voice Chat feature? I tried using it when it was first implemented; the sound was choppy and set so low I had to turn my volume up to the point where a ping from a neighboring program could split ear drums. I’ve never once used it since.
Actually, I’ve always sort of hated Voice Chat, except in Raid situations. Unlike most people who shorten their speech in text to the point where it becomes a single gigantic acronym, I find I can better articulate what I’m thinking and what I really want to say when I type it out. Although I don’t technically stutter IRL, I have a chronic case of hoof-in-mouth syndrome; the second my mouth opens, it’s only a few seconds before I start tripping over words and finally say something so stupid I shut up for the rest of the conversation. In text, I can think about what I want to say before I say it, pick the right words instead of just using the next-best alternative that pops into my mind first, and altogether get my point across much more efficiently.
Of course, the unfortunate side effect is the occasional ungodly-wall-o-text, as seen here, but I’ve mastered the art of splitting it into readable chunks in-game, so not too many people need TL;DRs XP
I have an entirely different problem with voice chat/Ventrillo/etc. I find it very difficult to participate in a multi-person conversation (3+). More often than not, by the time I open my mouth, someone else is already talking. I usually end up simply typing in what I intend to contribute.
Agree to both of you.
Also, WoW is not a real role playing game (don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody try being in-character), but when playing DAoC, I just knew it would ruin the game for me. I never used teamspeak, but as soon as everyone else did, most of them stopped any attempt at roleplaying.
Mind you, only few people role-played to begin with, so teamspeak even converted the most real roleplayers
