Hi, I'm Josh 'Strife' Hayes, i make videos about things i feel passionately about.

In this video, I talk about the history of mmorpg's, the major rivalry that gre between World of Warcraft and Runescape, the major mistakes these both made, and the ultimate stagnation of the genre that has been caused by several factors.
