As some of you may know i like to play on Neopets, it’s a virtual online site where you can have pets 
A funny thing is that it was set up by a bunch of bored college students with to much time on their hands.
And now it’s taken over by MTV products and Nickelodeon is in it as well.
Adam and Donna were the people who all set it up, and now millions of players around the world play it.
It’s pretty funny to talk to someone who’s on the other side of the world, because of this i’ve made some great friends in Australia, Singapore and America.
Also different people play it from 5 year old to grandparents, you’d be amazed how many adult players there are in Neopia.
So why start a whole post about it 
Well today i finished a long cherished goal of mine
There’s a game on it called Neoquest (there’s also a second game and that’s called Neoquest 2, pretty spiffy name huh 
).
In Neoquest, short NQ, you play a Lupe that most save Neopia from the danger.
It’s a role playing game, much similar like Pokemon, and there are 3 levels.
You have the normal, evil and InSaNe level.
Well no need to explain normal evil is a bit more difficult then normal and InSaNe well it’s almost insane to play
On the other 2 modes when you die it’s bad, you lose half your experience points and you need to start from the 1st town again.
But on InSaNe when you die it’s GAME OVER! Really no kidding, if you die against the final boss it’s game over and you have to start from level 1 again.
And when you’ve spend more then 2 weeks on leveling up till level 50 it just stinks LOL.
In my opinion NQ1 is more difficult then NQ2 cause in NQ2 you’ll play with 4 characters in the end, and they all have to die before it’s game over.
Also the leveling up in NQ2 is more easier then in NQ1.
But today was my lucky day, i finally finished NQ1 on InSaNe, and that’s a nice accomplishment in my book.
So now i have a spiffy new golden trophy on my user lookup LOL.
It looks great doesn’t it 
Well now i’m trying to beat NQ2 on InSaNe mode, it will take less, cause it’s more fun to play
Sounds kinda familiar. A lot of (bored) college students start something that turns into something huge. Facebook was like a project of some students. So it wasn’t really because they were bored. But in the end, it’s still done by college students.
I don’t know why, but Neopets doesn’t really seem too much fun - for me that is. Maybe because I know, that if I find it fun enough to play, I’ll have less time to work on my projects like SNW. Which, I now have some inspiration for again and I kinda want to use that.
But I do believe Neopets can be fun for some people. Just not me, for now. Maybe I’ll try it someday… Someday

Cool that you have inspiration for SNW again
Yeah I do, though I’m really sick atm
so I can’t do a lot ’cause of that… Hopefully I’ll get better soon.
