Cheating on WoW: DC Universe Online

Considering my gaming habits of late, I’m wondering if I should start calling these posts, “Cheating on TSW.”

My hero battling the forces of Brainiac in DC Universe OnlineRecently, I found myself seized by the urge to try out a superhero-themed MMO, but I had a bit of a problem. There aren’t many options for superhero MMOs these days. I’ve never heard a good thing about Champions Online, so that was out. That left it down to Marvel Heroes versus DC Universe Online.

Marvel Heroes might have been more appealing based on its source material, as I am a Marvel fan, but I’d also heard a lot of bad things about it. DC Universe Online seemed like the most polished and full-featured game, but I simply do not like DC.

I’m generally not in the habit of promoting others’ work on my blog, especially when it has nothing to do with sci-fi or fantasy, but the other day, I stumbled across an absolutely brilliant webcomic (on TSW’s forums, of all places), and I just had to share it.

This comic basically summarizes my entire life. Except I drink neither coffee nor beer.
