    Everyone has their own gross threshold. Maybe it's diapers, maybe it's Honey Boo Boo, or maybe it's a particularly gnarly moment in a video game. Personally, I'm not a big fan of little worms swarming all over carcasses, which is why it's a good thing that all of our kills tend to disappear instead of covering the land in decomposing nastiness. I took the above screenshot in The Secret World, where a diner's small bathroom made me hurk a little. What happened here? Do I want to know? No I really don't. I'm just glad that we can't yet smell MMOs. So has an MMO ever grossed you out? Unleash your inner kid and share all of the disgusting details!

  • The Daily Grind: What's the most insulting quest you've ever done?

    The other night, a friend of mine took to Twitter to express her displeasure over an EverQuest II mission. "I have to do something called Jenni's Stained Pants," she said, nonplussed. "This may be the most insulting quest I've ever done." While the actual mission turned out to be more benign than she'd anticipated from the title, I could relate. There have been so many quests in MMOs that aren't just beneath my stature but outright mocking my status as a hero. How many times have we had to pick up poo on the whims of a developer? Or pluck flowers for Elves? Or run extremely pointless errands because an NPC has a deadly case of fat butt and doesn't want to stop watching Honey Boo Boo? So let it out today: What's the most insulting quest you've ever done? Vent! Lance that wound! Rebuff those devs who think it's OK to make a monkey out of you!
