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.
whats so wrong with being addicted, not breaking the law or anything, could be doing something a lot worse.
The guy sounds like a retard, i dont shout out and shit or anything. I just sit in xbox lobbies and talk to my friends whilst playing and we just chill. Sometimes you get the over the top people like you have there nothingbeterpjman
A few points I'd like to make, playing warcraft myself (not so much these days as kinda got bored).
Your room mate to me sounds like a right inconsiderate wanker, and you should have a talk to him and tell him how it's making you feel, him being on the pc 24/7...fuck thinking you're being inconsiderate if you want to ask friends back, just bring them back and fuck him if he's still sat there playing. If it wasn't Warcraft it'd be some other game, so to put all WoW players in the one pigeon hole and say they have no life etc, then that's bullshit. I played it for 3 years up until recently...mostly last year when I was off work for 9 months when I was very ill and couldn't really get out of the house much so needed something to pass the time during the day. I played on it for a few hours most evenings, but I do have a life, I go to my friends, I spend alot of time with my 3 year old son (who lives with his mum). It can be addicting, yes, but you need to divide your time better, which your mate obviously isnt. As I said, if it wasn't playing warcraft, it would be something else he'd be doing to piss you off.
And yes, the South Park episode was spot on. I thought it was fucking brilliant.
I played WoW at a friends house while he was away and i think i only lasted an hour. It's SO BORING. Nothing but grind. You talk to some dude and he says, 'go over there and kill 10 of these imp things' so i go over with my rusty butter knife and do the dirty deed. I go back to the dude and no he wants me to go back and kill 20 of the fuckers!! Did he fail maths or something? Just ask me to kill 30 in the first place stupid illiterate dwarf knobhead. So I killed the 20 got me bounty and threw away my butter knife and bought a shinny new meat cleaver for killing and general food preperation.
I wonder to the next town over to find fame and fortune only to find some other illiterate dwarf knobhead who wants me to go to point A and kill, you guessed it, 10 imp things. BALLS to that. I hit the OFF button and i go to my local for a nice cool pint. WOW MY ARSE!!

the quests are different when you level up.. they are obviously EASY at the start of the game...
later on you get awesome quest rewards...
and you can do instances where you and 4 others just go through like a cave or map and just kill hard enemies which drop great loot and stuff.
then later on 24 man raids and PVP - player vs player...
gave the game 1 hour..
and the guy said go kill 20 as its probably the sequel to the quest
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
This describes my roommate from my freshman year in college, except the game was CounterStrike. The game seemed cool enough, but him constantly playing made me never want to play it at all. It got to a point where I couldn't stand even hearing the sounds that game made. The only other things this kid did besides CounterStrike was go to the cafeteria, go to his band classes/rehearsals, and maybe go to an occasional class. I never talked to him after we moved out from that dorm, but I'm pretty sure he failed out of school because of game addiction. I've nothing against video games as I play my xbox, but to let it envelop your life and cause you to fail out is ridiculous and a bit pathetic.

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.
