It's the same as those alcoholic tests....accoording to them I'm an addict because I drink 20 glasses beer on a saturday (from 12:00 to 00:00)..... boleks......
 
I play WoW enough to raise questions to my RLF not playing wow, but they did that with game in general....
 
I like to raid cause I love the team play of it...and if it's me I can have another day of raiding for RG2..... that would be nice.
 
Let see where WoW takes me within 1 or 2 years....
 
Let the statistic say I'm an addict, at least I'm having fun :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
Gib Raiding....

Lets put it this way, when i raided, i didnt do much else than football practice, some matches and hang with my friends.
I quit and (even though its summer vac) i get shitfaced at every occasion. Ask my parents what they'd like me to do xD

(every occasion is kinda wrong, but you get my point)


(HOW DO YOU GET THAT AWESOME BLACK RAPTOR?)

OMG.
When i read the following line
Quote"Dr. Orzack: That's correct. Usually, some type of intervention is needed."
I automatically thought of divine intervention.
 
Am I an addict?! :blink:

I had the same thing when I was younger (bout 14 - 16 or so). My parents thought it was unhealthy for me to stay inside and play computer games so much. So I started going out with my mates, who at 14 were getting drunk at parties at friends houses, and by 16 were regularly going to the local pubs and nightclubs. O'course the parents complained about *that* too. You can't win!

One handed gaming. Solution.

Or roll a lolarofldin. You could be with your girl for 10 mins, then check on your lolarofldin every 10 secs to heal yourself.

My boss always has a gold '!' over his head :(

I'm not addicted, I can leave any time I want, really, I can!... usually to another server but it's a change right?

Right at the bottom she says games should have warnings on, for anyone who bothers to read the EULA of WoW, clearly she hasn't there is a warning on there, of sorts ;) or at least Blizzard elling you that signing absolves them of any responsibility for loss of work, sleep etc, they also have a tip on loading screens that says go eat, see RL people etc, basically get some willpower and don't hate your life :D, natural selection :D:D

p.s. carrot, nice sig :D

My first char was a Loladin. He's at 44 now, and I haven't played him for *months* cos I got bored. He can survive, but it takes too long to down mobs and once i've judged a mob and activated another seal on me there's not really much to do.

My Shammy's a lot more fun to play :devil:

Ta Umbra. Firefly rocks!

get your GF to _play_ a Loladin, then she would have alot of free time to service you by making you turkey snadwiches and reading aloud the comic strips from the newspaper!
