Breathe, remember to breathe

[drwex]

I still play Warcraft from time to time. Pygment has mostly gafiated from it and I'm playing a lot less than I did. But there are moments and I still enjoy a couple hours of raiding now and then.

It helps to understand this story if you know that when a group attacks a monster there's often a countdown to synchronize everyone's initial actions. Prior to that, the raid leader usually does a "ready check" where people can click yes/no if they're ready to begin. For reasons of sheer luck I happen to run in raids that are led by women.

Last raid I had to click "no" on a readycheck because I mostly couldn't breathe for laughing. It went something like this:

Raid leader: Everyone ready?
Raider: Give me five seconds... well, ten max.
Other raider: I bet you say that to all the women.
Other other raider: Yeah, and they find the countdown really annoying, too.

(I actually have no idea if non-gamers or maybe just those without an inner 12-year-old will find this funny so please do tell me what you think.)

For me, it came across funnier with being able to hear the inflections of your voice. In written form didn't strike me as much.

Your inner schoolboy is showing.

I laughed. The context that the raid leader is a woman helped, though.

I must be having a humor-impaired day, because it didn't do anything for me.

I laughed a lot, then I read it to gentlescholar and he laughed too. :D
