Never got the videogame bug, so it's not for me. You younger guys, you might try it, if you're into it.
(You've heard me speak of my Internet Fan Fiction---if there had been a legitimate way to get it published, I would've gone that route. This could be a way for that.)

Ah World of Warcrack, the source of more failed tests and failed marriages than anything else I've witnessed.

I've known a lot of people who spent all day playing that cursed game (and by all day I mean wire to wire, 0--24.) This of course had an adverse effect on their spouses/homework, both of which have a tendency to go away if you ignore them completely.

Dang. I've heard stories but never had personal experiences with that level of addiction. Granted, I do play a lot myself but I'm a somewhat unique case. My husband and I met through an online game so we play them together ever since. It's our connector. It's also part of my job. I write guides and articles for the game part-time. So my play time is divided, at least in my mind, from when I'm actually playing as recreation/hobby and when I'm online for work reasons.

I highly recommended googling and watching "The Guild". While it doesn't bash WoW in particular, it does target MMORPGs as a whole, to very amusing results. If nothing else, it's one of those shows that make you grateful you're not one of the characters.

I love the Guild! Hilarious stuff. Their music video (Youtube "Do you wanna date my avatar") had me rolling!

AH, alas I retired my level 80 NE Hunter (Slingbow-Kael'Thas Realm) last year when I realized I couldnt write and play. That game is insanely addicting and I still feel it pulling at me from time to time.
