Oh, the dreaded Valentine’s Day… does anyone really like it? I love presents as much as the next girl, but the day should really be about appreciating those that make your life a little sweeter, and who make your heart fill with happiness. So, in my own personal tradition of comparing stuff, I bring to you “Ryan vs. World of Warcraft - A Valentine’s Day Showdown.”

| Lots of fun | Of course | Fun and I get to kill things |
| Promotes good social skills | Yup! | My guild is social, right? |
| Has epic drops | Not to my knowledge | Heck yeah! |
| Monthly fee | No! | $15 |
| Needs constant patching | Never! | Yes… |
| Good on Intel Macs | Blazing fast! | Runs like buttah |
| Voice communication | Out of box, perfect quality | Needs third-party program |
| Dancing | Sadly, no | /dance, baby! |
| Experience points | Level 70 Blogger | Level 58 Hunter |
| UI and addons | Updates addons regularly | Very customizable |
| Customer support | Terrific, and makes house calls! | Terrible |
| Graphics | Looks pretty slick to me! |
Awesome |
| System Requirements | Smart, same age group, female | Scalable, but needs computer… |
| Sucks up free time? | Yes. | Yes. |

[...] Wow, Veronica FTW! Final score: Veronica - 13, Engadget - 10. I hope she doesn’t make me dump Engadget. Care to see how I fared against World of Warcraft?

It’s all about the prizefight! lol.
Haha! Wow Ryan did better than you did… he must love Engadget more than you love Warcraft. :).
Very funny! If I tried to compare with my other half I wouldn’t be typing this because I would be deadd lol.
Ha ha, very nice. When is the expansion pack coming out that will allow him to reach level 80?
lol, now that’s a prizefight! boo-yah!
haha. My favorite is “comes in RSS: oddly yes” which is clearly how I saw this. lol.
ooh…it’s…disgustingly….cute
in a good way
LOL, nice work V!
hahaha That’s awesome V!
Ryan needs to get dancing lessons from my Tauren. A Gnome would be nice too, maybe even from a Blood Elf male.
Well, just make sure he stays away from the Dwarven Dancing Club.
nonononono senor Rodrigo, Ryan needs to learn some Salsa, once he can master the dance floor, he can grab Veronica by the arm, and seduce her with his moves….then the hook-line-and-sinker, have him SING in spanish…oh man, that would kick ass since V knows the language she can cross-translate all the nice, warm words in her head in real time.
I’m sure Ryan was glad to win over WoW!
I like the charts… great way to compare.
[...] Ok, ok, so Valentine’s day came and went. And for those who know me, I have a severe dislike for said holiday. I mean, show your appreciation for the people who make you feel special every day, not to one person for just one day. But ranting aside, in the ever-growing popularity of witty person-object comparisons, I will jump into the fray and do my part and follow suit by comparing my recently-bought macbook and my girlfriend Adriana…so without further ado, lets get it oooon: [...]
As I just responded in Ryan’s blog, if you guys aren’t the First Couple of Geekdom, I don’t know who is. Awesome.
Only you 2 crazy kids could turn a chart into a Valentine. adorable!
You forgot about Ryan’s ‘gadget’ requirement…..
Kevin
lol i really hate to compare a girlfriend against other, but this loveFight seems very fun and original…
“AAaawww…” That’s my one allowed immasculine valentine appreciation.
[...] Can you feel the love tonight? Or are your chubby, gamer fingers numb from carpal tunnel? Geek love: this girl plots a dude against World of Warcraft, pro-con stlye. MEEEEEEERRRRRP! [...]
[...] Ryan vs. WoW [...]
Love the website and watching Crave as well as listening to Buzz. Glad I came across your site and I will visit it often.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article tine’s day showdown: Ryan vs World of Warcraft - Veronica Belmont, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
