that "gym" MMORPG   (quote)

At these times I find myself wondering why he doesn't go and "build himself up" [at the gym] instead [of playing online video games].

Because the people who play this "gym" MMOR[P]G are even bigger dicks than Counterstrike players. Every time I go to the gym, all the high-level people are like "LOL, look at teh n00b". No one will tell me how many bench presses I need to do before I can level up, they just stare at me like I'm stupid or something. And good luck getting a party together to take on the higher-level weights. Half the appeal of MMOR[P]Gs is the teamwork, but nobody in gym seems to understand that.

Combine that with the tiny gameworld, lack of scenery, and other glaring faults, and it's easy to see that gym is no EverQuest. Maybe if there's a sequel or a patch, I'll look into it, but for now I think I'll spend my entertainment dollar elsewhere.
