The Trauma Diaries

[Marodox1]

On the 4th of September, local police investigated the house of local gamer Marodox on reports from neighbors that there was a stench of Mountain Dew and burning computer parts resonating into their homes. When the police entered the premises, they automatically noticed something was off, the homeowners pets were fighting to get into the drawer where their food was kept, and dishes that were done for a while still lay untouched in the machine. When they moved upstairs, one of the dispatch officers took a look inside of what seemed to be the room of the homeowner. What he saw frightened him, he smelled the mildewy carpets mixed with the scent of stale hotpockets and he saw the resident, Marodox, collapsed in his chair. He phoned local EMS and Marodox was rushed to the hospital, no further news has been released about his wellness. Along with old metal records, the officer found a small book next to the computer labeled 'Patch Day Diary', the following texts are the unabridged version of what was in that book.

Self-Farming Diary, by Marodox



Day 1, August 28th
The smell of this tuesday morning is...Peaceful. But it is not the scent of the freshly cut grass that I care at all about right now. Today is the big day, patch day. My computer seems to be fine, as I checked it to make sure it would have no problems downloading the patch. It got stuck at reconfiguring game files, but it continued after a little worry from me. Finally, it finished downloading, but typical blizzard says the servers will be up 2 hours later, now another hour later, well what should I of expected, this always happens, more time for me to plan out my money making botting schemes.----Nighttime, finally I got one and quickly did my talents and then rushed over to thebuddyforum, wait, what, is, happening, 1 WEEK OF DOWNTIME HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE GOLD I NEED THIS GOLD FOR MOP. I dont know what to do, I am lost without HB, I guess I will figure it out, I need to sleep on this though, good night diary.


Day 2
The smell isn't as good as yesterday, but neither is my mental state of mind, I figured out what must be done, if I want to keep my gold up, I'll have to do the dreaded deed, the worst of them all, I'll have to....Hand farm herbs. I dreaded it, but I better start preparing. Lets see, at the market I'll need. 2 Bags of cheetos, 3 liters of Mountain Dew, a box of hotpockets, and a case of monster energy. After I got that, I set up my computer space for hours of farming. I put a headrest on my desk chair, a foot mount on my PC, and a mini fridge under my desk. Around 1 in the afternoon, I was ready. I sat down and logged on, and got to work. A few hours later, I was feeling good, I got a lot of herbs, and went through only a little bit of my supplies, this isn't as bad as I though . I figured I did a lot of work and I packed it in early for the night.


Day 3
I woke up this morning with a pounding headache, I don't know why, I guess my head wasn't used to that much time infront of my monitor. Anyways, I downed some advil and I am ready to get a lot done today. I booted up my PC and got to work. About halfway through the day, I decided to take a short break, right as I got up from my computer chair, I felt a sharp pain down my spine. I let out a loud yelp and went back into my chair, I decided to eat the last hotpocket I had left since it was on my desk and I didn't have to stand up. It is now about 7 at night and I still haven't stood for fear that my back might hurt again, I'll take care of this later.---Its about 1 in the morning, I guess, I am sort of losing track of time, the countless laps around Deepholm and Uldum have made me lose track of reality. The pain in my back has turned into a constant ache, but I think I can get up, I don't need sleep when I am close to getting enough herbs.


Day 4
I think its friday morning sometime right now, it could be saturday or even thursday I am not sure, my back..ah sorry, as I was saying, it has gotten to the point where the slightest movement will send a torrent of pain through my whole body. I haven't eaten, I'm not that hungry. My eyes have grown really wattery and blurry, and I have to blink a lot or pour these drops in them to make me see a little better, but even that doesn't help. I don't know how many herbs I have, but, it must be a lot. My head, I don't...Don't know whats going on, phones out of juice, I don't care, just keep farming. **The pen marks ride off into the corner of the page**.


Day 5
what, am I writing about, can't see much, bags full, can't find mailbox, back is numb, stomach hurts, if i try, can make out the characters on screen, what day, what month, what year is it. someone, come get me, please. I got to go, see you all soon. **Their is a large ink mark on this page where a pen may of been left too long**
