The 10 Biggest Asshole Bosses in Gaming – Part 9
2: Fun (World of Warcraft)
This is another one of those creative boss fights you rarely see in games, like most of Shadow of the Colossus, or the battle against Giygas in Earthbound. Instead of just using the regular game mechanics to fight, the game requires you to rely on your creative senses to find a clever way to beat the enemy.
Because the core of WoW, of course, is mind-numbing, repetitive, tedious work, a lot of people don’t realize that the true boss of the game isn’t the difficult enemy they’ve right clicked on and watched the game fight for them 10 times a day for the past week. The true boss is fun. In your quest to destroy fun, you have to do the same 3 quests (kill mob A, run item A to location B, run item A to location B, C, D, E, and F, then back to A), over and over and over again, from different people and for different clothes. The objective, rather than to be a delivery boy or pest exterminator, is to bore yourself into a coma. Theoretically, once you complete enough quests, you’ll either lose your mind or successfully conquer fun forever. So far, however, fun remains elusive. Well, for WoW players at least.
Biggest Display of Dicketry: Constantly tempting players with enticements of communication with other people and activities such as bowling. Only the most hardcore players can successfully avoid these lures by pooping in socks and never sleeping or bathing.

Are you prepared for an endless barrage of flames from elves, dwarves, and, er, humans?
