I am not exaggerating when I say that my college roommate plays this 6-8 hours a day and I wanna hit his computer with a sledge hammer. If anything I am under exaggerating, so that it is somewhat believable. It consumes his life. Its ridiculous that I have to go to the library anytime I want to get anything done and have to be out of my room in order to be happy. Sometimes I sit in the hallway for 10 minutes so that I have silence. I also have no private time for myself like every boy needs and can't really bring girls or other friends back to my room. Not to mention he is one of the most judgmental people Ive ever met.
He is always on ventrilo and his little headset talking to his friends and random gamers. He belittles people if they make a mistake and yells at people he probably doesnt even know. He also pounds his keyboard and i hear *click**click**click**click**click**click**click**click* alllllllllllll day! He doesnt really study, his entire life revolves around WoW.
He has probably 1-2 friends at this school, I was one of his bestfriends last year, but the only way you can hang out with him is while he plays his game and he says a few words to you every 10 minutes. If hes not at the food court-class-shower-sleeping, hes at his computer playing his frickin game.
He is not involved in anything. He considers any human interaction thats not with people he knows, 'awkward'
Thanks for letting me vent

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.

Here is an example of what he has said in the last 10 minutes.
"makes me wanna fuckin strangle somebody"
"this dumpy ass game, season 4 means the same gay shit....carrot on a stick" wtf?
"i mean like, the way i look at it though, fireace and them, they'll play a team and go 1600 and four, they always have a good day."
"I ran priest and mage last night, and we did just fine."
"fire priest rogue"
"get on the priest get on the priest, god damnit andy, what are you doing?"

It's addicting!
I tried it at a friends house...and did not want to stop at all....at all. I wanted to play it every time I went over...thankfully I've either forgotten how addicting it is...or I just lost interest.
Seriously an addicting game though!

but yeh get your own room and computer
Im living in a townhouse next year, and he'll be living there too, but in the room next door. Ill make sure to annoy him with my surround sound. Its to the point where Im so flustered that I try to annoy him. The tv is right by his desk, so sometimes I make sure to watch tv when I dont want to. I am definitely not living with him senior year because I'd prefer to live with someone that wont be locked in their room and out and about being social.
And as much as you'd think talking to him would be an answer, it would be like me telling a normal person to stop breathing, its his life.

Im 20 years old and rarely touch video games. Every once in awhile I play some N64 Bond or some sega dreamcast....old school stuff.
Over the summer though, I will play Battlefield 2 pretty often though cause i get bored at home. I would play it here, but his World of Warcraft eats up the bandwidth and I lag too much. My life also revolves around him playing his game

Nothing wrong with games, shit I love the old school Mario games, Half-Life, the first two Metal Gear Solid. The latter two were addictive during my college years. But I can honestly say that I'm not addicted at all anymore.
EDIT: technically, I do have to the urge to play the first three Mario or Street Fighter II series once in awhile. So yeah I still do play some but nothing addictive.
I'm 25 by the way.

Reading 2006 - WOOOOW!!!!!
Paris 2006 - Fucking amazing
Wembley 2007
but I think, "get a real life" is more accurate.
EDIT: This comment is directed at anyone who plays that game, or anyone who plays videogames more than 5 hours a week.
I have, in my house, An Atari 2600, a Nintendo NES, A Sega genesis, an N64, a Playstation, an Xbox, and an XBOX 360.
I play the Xbox 360 about 2 hours a week, tops........and I play the NES about once a month when I have guests over.
That being said.....people need to find some balance and get the hell out and interact with actual living people. Message boards, virtual worlds, and Super-multi-player games dont count.

I never said it wasn't fun. I live in a dorm where I have to have a roommate, but school will be out in a couple weeks
And when a video game runs someone's entire life, and that person is completely selfish and keeps on shouting into his computer mic while I have open books on my bed clearly attempting to study, I think I have plenty of room to bash. Also I actually have played it, so I can also bash for that reason. Just because you have played this game and enjoyed it, doesn't mean you should take my roommate's side who is clearly in the wrong. I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
He knows it bothers me, yet wont stop.

Exactly, I agree! My roommate seems to want a girlfriend, yet probably hasnt interacted with a girl in person, other than the casual hellos, in months!!!
What happens to people like this when they graduate from college? He won't have had any great friends in college that he'll talk to after graduation. His only friends from home are the ones he talks to while he plays his game. He will have no idea how to interact with a real live human.
Sometimes when his friend comes over, he shoos him out of the room, in a joking way, but you can tell he is really trying to get him to leave by ignoring him so he can play his game.
And I think its funny you say people that play games more than 5 hours a week need to get a life, when my roommate plays 8-10 hours a day as well as many other people. What can you say to them?

phew! thanks i was worried.
Yeah it may be fun but it's an addiction for a lot of individuals. And I'll gladly bash it. I've played it.
oh noes!!! i feel the urge to play it again. must..not...give...in.
then another friend that started after me was like you quitted because you sucked, im already lvl 40 and youre still 33. and i was like dude i dont have time to play this game all day anymore so im not wasting money every month. some people take this game too serious. mind you this other friend doesnt work or go to school or anything. he called me and a friend over to his house the other week so we could hang out. i guess his idea of hanging out is watching him play wow.
i had my fun with wow i played for like 2 months and i may play again when i have free time but i dont understand how people can let this game consume their lives. honestly the game play isnt that great, its very mindless. but it has a great sense of accomplishment, which is what probably has people always coming back for more.
just wait until he is asleep and password the computer. or uninstall it. the game takes like an hour to install. he'll get the idea after awhile.
Why pay for a game that you have to keep paying every month just to play?
Now GH3? I love that game.
How long do you spend on these message boards per week?
