So I was playing my favorite game Ragnarok Online the other day and I finally figured out how to stream a live feed of the game to a site where people could watch me and my guildies kill stuff and toss banter around in vent.
I got the idea because my guild leader does this and has a pretty popular stream.
So naturally I was excited when I figured out how to do myself. I called a few of my freinds who also played and go told them to favorite my stream because they knew I had wanted to set this up for a while. I also told my ventrilo buddies to do the same after.
This morning I open my gmail and I had seven alerts from the site and all of them were from my guild buddies, people I've never spoken to outside of ventrilo. None were from the five people I called, people I go to school with.
Are internet friends better than RL friends?

But really, I mean it's almost like people I meet online seemingly would go out of their way a lot more than friends I know in real life.
I think it's because people that you can't see you have to try and do a little extra to impress?
Oh, how I think of us in "Band of Brothers"
[EDIT]
Also, seems like you just begin discovering the internet. And I consider myself beginner-intermediate...
