Yao Ming talks about his WOW experience. His hunter ran into a tauren warrior at much higher level and got killed.

Not sure if it's been posted - I find it pretty funny.

Lol, sitting in the Rockets locker room eating and talking about World of Warcraft in front of cameras.

I'd be cracking up if he was talkin about it in English.

That's sweet if you play that game and got to play against him.

My roomate plays WOW, and I always tell him he should try to find Yao in the game. That would be so sweet.

Thanks for posting this Rollazn. Another reason to add on my "Why I love Yao" list.

Q: Tell us some of the most interesting adventures you have had while playing Everquest? Did you ever do something really stupid? Something that you are really proud of?

A: My first foray into Lower Guk was a lot of fun. My favorite memories are pretty basic. Completing the Robe of the Lost Circle quest was a blast. Camping Raster was a nightmare, but I got stupidly lucky. I had pretty much resigned myself to camping Scythehands in the Mino room, logging in, seeing another monk already there camping, and waiting. One night I log in, and there's a 55 level monk there. Great guy. He's been there for like 12 hours. No Raster -- pop, despawn, pop, despawn -- still no Raster. Now I'm in about my 3rd day there -- total time camping him maybe 5-10 hours tops -- but getting some good groups when I did have the camp (lotsa guild mates showed up and we pulled and got great exp). Anyway, this guy says ok, one more spawn and it's yours. So I wait and this guy says 'screw it' and leaves. I get a full group and we get the camp. We are there for about 2 minutes when we are in a major, major brawl and we barely survive. I'm laying there, feign death style, and no one in the group is hurt but me. I have no mend and about a bub of health. My group runs some frogloks down the hall to finish them off and POP! RASTER! If there was a way to scream louder than caps in EQ I was doing it. Man I am straight panicking because I know I have NO CHANCE soloing and the party has run off. I'm in my hotel room; it's like 5am, and I am straight hollering, in EQ and in real life. Bottom line is the group comes back, heals me, and kills Raster! WOOT!

A post that I did earlier this year during Yao Ming's rehabilitation in January about Yao Ming's obsession in computer games.........

http://sports.tom.com/2007-01-10/0424/06735278.html

http://sports.tom.com/2007-01-10/0424/06168137.html

Everyone knows Yao Ming is very fond of computer game. His most favorite ones are World of Warcraft and Counter Strike.

He used to carry his Dell notebook with him on his road trips. He might not have visited any of the landmarks of the 29 cities he travelled to, but he sure knew the broadband speed of every of the hotel he stayed.

He used to be very fond of Counter Strike when he was back in China; but ever since he came to USA, due to proprietary rights and dfferent versions, he seldom can play the version of Counter Strike he likes.

He started picking up World of Warcraft 18 months ago, and ever since fell in love with it.

His role in the virtual world of World of Warcraft is a bandit, actually an assasin, with very few ammunition and armour. His only weapon is 2 daggers, and he travels on the back of either a wolf or a dinosaur. He would sneak up to his enemies and chop them down one by one by his daggers.

But these few days, due to the earthquake in Taiwan that had damaged the undersea telecommunication optical fibres, he had not been able to surf over the Internet to sign on to the World of Warcraft.

He sighed: "Every time, when I was free to spend more time on my computer game, something went wrong. They just could not let me have a good time on the computer games."

When he was injured last season, he found that his account had been hijacked, lost his sign-on, and could not play World of Warcraft. This time round, it was the slow Internet connection. He said: "They told me it has to at least 3 weeks before they could repair the optical fibres."

So because of the Internet breakdown, he now spent more time on comics and movies. 2 of his favorites are a popular Chinese TV series, sort of a martial arts comedy with an ancient background, but contemporary script and language.

The other one is the famous 7 Dragonballs.

He said Mutombo is even more powerful than Goku. Mutombo is just like Master Roshi, also known as Kame Sennin (Turtle Hermit). First, Master Roshi knows Kame Hame Ha, and is very powerful, just like Mutombo is great on his rebounding and blocking. Second Master Roshi is super old, and no one exactly knows his age. Mutombo is the same. Third, even though Master Roshi is super old, he is still young at heart, and likes to crack jokes and is very funny. Mutombo is the same.

Other than spending time on the above 2 movies, Yao Ming is currently reading the very famous novel from China, a commentary on The Romance of the 3 Kingdoms.

I've decided to take up cocaine instead of WoW. I heard it's a less destructive habit. I easily get addicted to games so I avoid playing the immersive online rpg stuff.

BTW, good read on Yao and his video game habit.

Roshi also tries to molest any remotely sexy woman he can get close enough to. I wonder if Mutombo is the same here too (insert "Who wants to sex Mutombo?" jokes).

Thanks for the info pryuen, and thanks for the video Rollazn. I've always heard that Yao is a big gamer, but I never really find out what he plays (although I think I've heard the Counter-Strike stuff before). Since he's reading about the ROTK stuff, I wonder if he's checked out some of the video games too.
