Nerdy thought

Okay, so you can skip this entry if you're not into computer games.

[Are those people gone now? Good.]

Now those remaining --- you can skip this entry if you're not into World of Warcraft.

[If you're still reading it means at least a small part of you embraces your nerdy/dorky side, to which I say cheers!]

I've been playing a little bit of WoW again lately and I've noticed that players will sometimes choose character types that represent their real life personality traits. Have you noticed this too? Take my main, for example; He's an undead frost mage:

It's all about control. If the frost mage uses his moves skillfully, then no one ever touches him and he takes no damage. He freezes attackers at a distance, doing high damage to single targets. Unlike fire mages (who have rampant uncontrolled damage), his damage is thoughful and can be very lethal.
When he runs out of energy (mana) he has to sit down for a while, eat, recover. But in general he can last quite a while without needing to recharge.
Mages can teleport to different locations, meaning they hop around between groups of people. If combat gets heavy they blink away, get into a safe position, and then may start doing damage from that safer location. They'll often slow someone down and run away from fighting rather than face them head on --- for this reason they're rarely defeated unless taken by complete surprise.

If you know someone who plays WoW, ask what type of character they are --- might tell you something about their personality.
