World of Warcraft Is A Lot Like Cake
I can’t help it, it’s just so damn tasty. I know it’s bad for me and that there really are a ton of better things out there to satisfy me and maybe it will pass but right now, right this moment, I’m feeling it for WoW again. You see, I reckon World of Warcraft is a lot like cake. We know it’s for kids, we know it’s not healthy and too much of it will leave us overweight, spotty and alone, yet deep down inside we all crave it.
Starting a new alt (a Hunter – I tried a Shaman too but the Hunter won it out) has reinvigorated my enjoyment of WoW and my desire to play it. And I welcome these feelings. I feel like a fat kid trapped in bakery trying to gorge himself on sweet, sweet cake. Eventually I’ll either sicken myself of it and vomit or go insane from the sugary rush it supplies but right now I’m happy. This cake is oh so so good.
Hmmm, cake.
Cake! OMG cake! OFMG expensive cake!

And another one gone, and another one gone another one bites the dust. Hey, WoW’s gonna get you too another one bites the dust!!
Cataclysm has me drooling… Permanent changes to the same boring lands, the Abysmal Maw looks awesome! More storyline leaning toward Lovecraftian horror, and I can finally play a Goblin AND a wolf shapeshifter! Not only that, but the shapeshifter is the race, so I can make him any class (gunning for Hunter)… It’s like Blizzard sat back and said, “What do we need to do, to make John happy.” It’s a dream come true!
I feel the same way… although I’m ashamed to admit it
Don’t be ashamed of liking a game that is finally heading in the right direction after a couple of questionable expansions.
I agree with John. If you like something, there’s no need to be ashamed of it. Blizzard is heading in a new direction with WoW, and that’s a good thing. My main concern is with getting too sucked in again because I know I’m heading back for Cataclysm.
I’m looking forward to getting sucked in!
The cake is a lie, Gordon… you know this!
The cake is with you, Master Gordon! Better leave that dark side!!
Bored and only doin AH activity till Cataclysm myself. Maybe a new hunter alt might be the trick.
Hmmm, WoW has not been like cake for me since a few weeks into Burning Crusade. And even before that I’d unsubscribed to it. To me it was more like one of those fake cakes they use to make wedding cakes look bigger. You know, all frosted and yummy looking on the outside, but really just a cardboard form on the inside. Frosted cardboard isn’t my kind of cake
What does have my nostalgia engine going lately, though, is F2P DDO. Now I tried DDO way back when it was released and it was… ok, but not my thing. But just for kicks, since I grew up with PnP DnD, I tried the latest incarnation of DDO, and man I’m loving it. I’m not sure why, but it’s just been MUCH more fun than I remember it being when I first tried it. We’ll see – maybe I’ve only sampled the frosting and haven’t hit the cardboard yet. We’ll see.
Nice analogy
You see, the cake concept can be applied to any MMO! 
Cake? Meh.
I’ll take pie over cake any day of the week.
Does this mean EQ2 is like pie?
I think EQ2 is a lot like pie. More substantial, more filling, and ultimately better for you
Nooo WOW is like Pie. Gooey inside, rough flacky crust….damn I’m hungry now.
WoW is comfortable, like the underwear that got the holes, but it feels nice. You know what to expect, their not tight, their just right. That’s why its so easy to come back to. You know you should go out buy some new sporty underwear, but man these feel so nice.
Haha! That picture is great.
Sadly, for me, WoW is more like McDonald’s. A guilty pleasure, but definitely bad for you and serves millions with low-quality, high-accessibility content.
I lost my craving for McDonald’s when I realized I was having too much of it, prior to Burning Crusade. McDonald’s was making me gain weight and lose my marbles. I’m glad lots of people enjoy it, and feel its siren call, but it just isn’t for me.
