Once I get out of this town

I don't know what I would advise. Have you talked to him and your boyfriend about it? If he won't contribute at all, it might be time for you to leave since the arrangements don't seem to be very fair.
It was a fun game and I still want to play it sometimes, but I was never addicted to it like some people were. I quit because I was addicted enough, but never in such a bad way-I would never skip work to play it or ignore my friends, but I did however ignore other hobbies and homework sometimes.
But it can truly be an addiction such as gambling. As for helping him, that I can't give any advice on.
I think like cigarettes and alcohol, the government should put a warning label on that game.
Warning:
Exposure to World of Warcraft can lead to the following conditions: Obesity, carpel tunnel, cardiovascular disease, and vision impairment.
Prolonged exposure will lead to relationship problems (if you are one of the 4 out of 1,000,000 who play the game that actually have relationships) lack of friends*, and the potential of being fired from your job.
*Internet friends do not count, you pathetic loser!

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
he grew a beard.

Well if he is an otherwise good person set him up with a girl friend of yours and do a double date or something. Some real world interaction might get him to step away a bit.

That's very true. I've seen two marriages end because of the husband's addiction to WoW.
No, I'm not joking.

Next!"
Wow! What a loser! I thought it would be some sort of nerdy D&D love but that's awful.
The soda would do the same trick but I'm assuming you don't want him to know it's you. Dumping a soda on it might defeat that purpose.
LMAO!
SO yeah, I'm a recovering WoW player -- I played solid for a year then went cold turkey. It was my social life, all my friends played, we had voice chat going, playing game together, killing things, getting better gear, killing harder things, getting better gear, killing even harder things, getting even better gear. The gear (armor, swords, magic rings, etc) is totally ... crack.
It's continually "in play" so that when you're away from the game, you think your "friends" are in there doing something without you, scoring crack! And to get the best crack, you have to hang out for a long time (slog through long missions).
Have him type "/played" into his game screen -- it will show how many hours he's been playing the current character. Have him do that on all his characters. Lil wake up call.
But it's tough to quit -- there's a very social element, chat room quality to it. You log on and pretty much get the "NORM!" treatment with all yer "online pals." They "need" you to fulfill their crack deals... If yer not his wife/girlfriend/parent, this ain't gonna turn out good. And actually, it woulda been better had i been in the living room -- my wife gave me a PSP and said, "Quit and sit on the couch with me at least each night."
I shoulda held out for a guitar, silly me....
They did a study and found that with video games immediately after every "achievement" phase is completed in the game the brain releases some kind of opiate...
in a sense, it is like drugs.

That's the funniest thing I have heard all day!!! Thank you!
i recently made a post about a large amount of weight i lost in the passed 6 months. what got me motivated? well someone i knew in WoW DIED of heart related issues and he was a bit over 30! after that, i took a look at myself and though i don't believe i was as hardcore as a lot are, i was still out of shape!
so i quit WoW.. been mostly clean since about may. i did visit my cousin a few weeks ago and he wants me back in so he let me play on his account to check out some new stuff that's out for the next expansion. i reluctantly played a bit but i really have no interest in going back.
the one thing with the MMO's that a lot of people do not understand is that it's really not just a game. its not like Mario where you would have to play by yourself for hours in order to beat the game. i consider WoW and EQ1 that i played before it as a chat with an elaborate interface. i don't care if people think that "internet friends" don't count, i met some hilarious and awesome people in WoW that i miss! my cousin met his girlfriend of 10 years now on EQ1. people need to realize that the internet can be as tangible a meeting place as going out somewhere. if Indiana wasn't so far away, i would hang out with them in the real world, but WoW was easier and could still be fun.. not as fun... but fun considering the distance.
i considered myself a casual player... probably 15ish hours a week... which may sound like a lot, but how much time do you spend watching TV in a week? i also considered myself "casual" because there was a lot of people that i know of that play a LOT more than i did. i was not hardcore into the lore or mechanics...
anywho... i did quit WoW... and lost close to 50lbs so far since May with eating better, biking and going to a gym.
That is a really interesting side of it i was unaware of until reading this post (and your other thread) Thanks for sharing that and congrats again on getting in better shape!

I think this roomate of your is YOU!!!!!! Vedder ELF!!!!!!!!!!
Reading 2006 - WOOOOW!!!!!
Paris 2006 - Fucking amazing

if they were playing dnd its possible he was in character and so was she, as such there would be no reason she should/would take offense. dnd is partly about acting out your character so if he is playing a dumb angry barbarian or something its all cool.
on a side note i never played dnd where cute chicks were involved....i kinda thought they didnt play dnd....i guess i was wrong and i just dont have the luck to get nerdy girls...
