Jeeping fuck, learn to write.
if you are a female,you need a real man,not a fucken kid that plays games. and real men like to pleasure their partner first and foremost,here i am.
The couple that plays WoW together stays together? Your friend and her b/f are addicted to the game, and that’s fine, but blowing off a friend for it, and then complaining that her b/f is doing same is very hypocritical. This is where you have to tell it like it is like the friend you are. She’ll probably not stop playing, but she may stop letting WoW run her life at least.
If that doesn’t work, go on WoW and tell her off in game. 😉
Life Sucks, re-read the post; she’s speaking about her FRIEND who has a boyfriend of her own.
OP, listen to PDG…your friend is a huge hypocrite. Tell her how you feel and then do your own thing. Eventually (hopefully?) she’ll miss hanging out with you and realize what she’s done. Good luck!
I know couples who have divorced because of WOW. It’s an addiction, much like gambling. Your friend likely won’t realize what’s happening until she hits rock bottom or breaks up with her boyfriend or both. She has to want to stop playing, and if she stops playing she’ll soon resent her boyfriend if his play continues.
Telling her off in the game would be a huge kick in the teeth though!
Team Fortress 2 is only game better than sex.
I have a friend who is addicted to WoW as well. It’s a sad, pathetic downward spiral from which there seems to be no escape. I tried my best to make some sort of difference, but his response is always “It’s not hurting anybody”. Eventually I just gave up. I’ve stopped trying to get him to come out and socialize, because there’s no point. It’s as if they see it as a real world with real people. I’ve heard people talk about other players (from across the globe) as if they’re people they’ve met. It kinda creeps me out sometimes. WoW is only the beginning though. As technology advances, addictions like this are only going to get worse.
What’s with all of the WoW bashing? First of all OP, you’re saying it wouldn’t be so bad if your friend was ditching you for another game, it just so happens that because it’s WoW it’s much worse? What kind of reasoning is that?
Second, it’s far from a downward spiral with no escape. The same people who are addicted to WoW are people or would be addicted to gambling if they were old enough to go to a casino or ever played the slots, or are/would be addicted to smoking after a few cigarettes. A addictive personality doesn’t descriminate on which vice it attaches to. The reason so many are addicted to WoW is because it’s a well made game. You’d be surprised how many people are addicted to solitare, or bejeweled, or halo, for the same reasons.
Personally, I played WoW quite a bit in university as I had more free time. When I got a real job, I played much less. When I got a gym membership, I hardly touched the game. When the warm weather hits, I cancel the account for a few months. It’s a time waster, nothing more. Some people watch tv, I blow an hour online. The point is, it’s the person who is at fault for getting addicted, not the game.
Mom! More Hot Pockets! Mom! Bathroom!
Best. SP. Episode. Ever.
That is all.
Read a fucking book!
I don’t fucking get this. I bought the game. I bought both expansions. I got a character to level 80, and then that was it. I absolutely DO NOT get the people who can play through it more than once. It’s the same damn thing for every character, every time.
I’m with NGF. Read a fucking book. And not a goddamn Warcraft book- I’m willing to bet they turned collection quests into a literary device.
I think PK sent this to me. Sums up WOW obsession:

Yikes.
What the fuck ever.
You sound ridiculously stupid. You’re blaming a computer game for your problems?? Seriously? You have a shitty hypocritical friend who constantly blows you off… it must be a computers game’s fault! Stop making up excuses for her, she’s just an asshole. Why are you friends with an asshole? Ditch her. She’s not going to snap out of it until her shitty behavior starts costing her friendships.
Fizz, you NEED to stop letting the panhandlers get to you, sweetie 😛
Go out and get a Slap-Chop. Stop having a boring life.
Show me a person who plays WOW, and I’ll show you someone without social skills. WOW sucks!
*looks around, makes sure the room is cleared*
LEEEEEEEEEEEEERRROOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYY JENKINS!
Tyler I swear I did not write this, Not only can I write better but you know damn well I tell you about your stupid WOW to your face, get the hell back on COD shithead 🙂
