How the hell are gamers always so fucking fat? Okay, so let me explain some things and some stuff. I have played World of Warcraft (WoW) for far longer than I am willing to admit. Aside from the usual jokes and whatnot about it, it was once (and in some areas, in my opinion, still is) a rather challenging game that required some discipline. So the major endgame here are called raid instances, or raids, and they can seriously test your sanity. In Classic WoW (no expansions), the most difficult boss was C'thun of Ahn'Qiraj 40man. You had 40 people, a mix of healers, damage dealers, and damage soakers, that you had to figure out where to place and what to do. This fight tested my god damn sanity as we went at it for fucking hours. Other than a quick break to use the bathroom, maybe get a drink of water, I wouldn't eat anything. During my time of hard raiding I actually lost a few pounds because I wouldn't eat much except drink some water. That's it. Now, you have different levels of raids. Gone are having to deal with 40 people, the max is now 30 (or 20 if you're doing a mythic raid, which I'll explain in a second). Currently, we're in the 5th expansion and gearing up for the 6th this summer, or September, or whenever Blizzard fucking feels like it. Anyway, in the 3rd expansion, Cataclysm, the final raid which was Dragon Soul started something new; it added a new tier of difficulty to Dragon Soul and all future raids. Before, it was Normal and Heroic. Normal was, well, the general raid that you would do and try to master/get gear. Heroic is where better gear was and it was much more challenging. However, the new addition, called Looking For Raid, where you had 25 people and basically wanted to do a quick group version of a Normal where you'd be thrown into a random group of people from all sorts of different servers and try to kill these bosses. It yielded its own loot and you got a good glimpse as to what you were in for when you started seriously raiding with your guild. However, to put it lightly, it's basically become the land of trolls, retards, and 10 year olds that think they're cool for saying "fuck you faggot" in chat.  When the 4th expansion, Mists of Pandaria (boooo), came so too did another new level of difficulty: Mythic. Mythic was launched with the final raid of this expansion as well, Siege of Orgrimmar. To explain what Mythic is, it's basically taking your head and trying to fill a small hole in the wall with your blood, but the wall is spiked and you can only use your head but you can't kill yourself. It fucking blows. But the sense of accomplishment, reward, and bragging rights are enough to keep you going. With Mythic, you have 20 people and every boss makes you question your sanity and, in certain cases, whether or not you want to find out where your raid buddies live and stomp their faces in for standing in the fucking fire. However, the further down the list of bosses you go, the harder and harder it progressively becomes. Exponentially in some cases, if you ask me. Right now, the final raid is Hellfire Citadel (HFC) and Archimonde is the last boss. On the Mythic difficulty this fight is pretty much AIDS. Everything has to be executed perfectly, damage has to be in the hundreds of thousands per second, tanks need to move the boss where he needs to be, everyone has to be in the perfect positioning, and heals have to be up to snuff to mitigate all the damage these monsters are pouring out. Every attempt is never a guaranteed kill, it's only an attempt, but these fuckers will do this over and over and over and over again until they get it right and finally kill that son of a bitch. This will go on for hours. So, my question/discussion is, with this much discipline thrown into just getting some gear and titles (and bragging rights of realm/world first), how the hell can they not put the same devotion and discipline into their food and life choices? They have the willpower, how is it so short sighted? TL;DR: how fatty fuck can be world first Arch kill but not world first lifts? EDIT: Sorry for the length >   >
