Orkpiraten

I found this on a german newssite: "Bow Nigger". Regard­less of the vali­dity of the con­tent, it’s a grip­ping read, and cap­tures a lot of emo­ti­ons online play­ers often experience.

While most rea­lize that play­ing online games is just a recrea­tio­nal activity, that things are just a game, games can trig­ger power­ful emo­ti­ons too.

At one point, the aut­hor descri­bes his stress of the situa­tion: „My con­cen­tra­tion was abso­lu­tely intense and never before have I tried so hard to ‚be the mouse‘. I felt a trickle of wet run down from under my right armpit.„

Just a game, huh ?
