Woes of Warcraft

Many of my friends back home are hardcore gamers like that and do nothing but play (mostly) WoW. I really just hated when more than one of them was together with me at any one time and suddenly every fucking thing was a reference to WoW. I found it REALLY annoying and just quite sickening. My roommate/best friend now is pretty much a WoW addict. He plays pretty much all day but he's not as bad as some people because he just drops it the moments something important comes up. I can't even imagine what he'd be doing without Warcraft anyway. Just filling up time I guess.

My one friend Paul (who hated high school anyway) didn't graduate high school because of just not going, due to playing a combination of Halo 2 and Diablo, Warcraft later on. He tried to repeat a grade but failed and got his GED later. Still now, he doesn't have a job, car or license and basically spends a lot of time still playing Halo and WoW. I can't imagine he'll ever do too much besides play games. My other friend, Brian was quite the same, except way more responsible - always working, at times taking care of his family and managing his relationships effectively. My roommate and Brian handle gaming addiction effectively. Paul does not.
I almost had that "can't beat em', join em'" mentality where I was almost about to play (and I DO have plenty of free time), but I just don't want to become one of those people who become hopelessly addicted. I think some of the art and lore is cool but hours of raiding and running around just never really appealed to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
