The other day I was driving through my neighborhood and I happened to look at a cross-street that read WESTFALL. And, being the former World of Warcraft player that I am, I immediately thought of the famous early level zone and how weird it was to see something in the real world that reminded me of it.
But that happens, from time to time. We overhear two people talking about MMO faction rivalries, see something that reminds us of an in-game vista, or otherwise experience the bizarre jolt when our gaming lives and real lives intersect.
Today, I would love to hear these strange and fun little cross-overs between MMOs and your real life. When have you had games bleed over into meat space?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
