h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...has just been purchased. I'm just stepping out; I may be some time.

Damn you... this has reminded me how much I miss having an active interweb at home.

Why, where's yours gone?

What happened to WoW?

I've been looking over her shoulder and it really doesn't look any different to WoW.

shocking, does it still cost lots of money to play?

"I've been looking over her shoulder and it really doesn't look any different to WoW"

Oh, you mean all you can see is the elbow in your face still?

I've still got WoW, don't you worry about that!

LOTRO gives you 30 days free so if I don't like it I can always take it back. However, on first impressions I don't think I'll be doing that - it's fantastic! It has nicked a lot of stuff from WoW, which was then nicked from EQ II, Dark Age of Camelot, etc, but it's still original enough to grab you. It looks great, the interface is easy enough to pick up and there is the major questline - the story of the Ring, of course - running throughout the game. I find it really funny the amount of WoW players already giving up their lives in Azeroth for this game, but I can definitely see why

I've just got me Doom 1, 2, TNT and Plutonium and Heretic...ok that's maybe not that impressive, but I like them. Oh I got Sam & Max too.

"the interface is easy enough to pick up"

Is that because it's completely identical to WoW?

What do you know about it? You even refuse to give WoW a go

I don't need to play it to see that the user interfaces of the two games are almost identical.

That's it, you tell her!

...

..

You've got me there, the user interfaces are very similar
