Look, I'm sorry if I come off as inconsiderate or uncaring, but at least you had the opportunity to be in VMK. As for me, my accomodation at my study abroad country has completely locked me out of VMK due to a proxy server. Not only can I not play VMK, what's worse is that I can not talk with the majority of my online friends for the next four months.
I'm tired of hearing people talk about how they've gone "ear-less" or "dreamless". These items are just pixels (really cool pixels, but pixels none the less). Imagine being locked away from your friends, unable to tell most of them how you are doing or why you are not in VMK? Truly I'm "Friend-less" at the moment.
