who pays for that guys wow a month hmm i blame the parents for not telling him to get off and go outside.
if the mom was smart lol, she would go online and cancel the account, if shes paying for it all she has to do is stop paying for it and BOOM no more wow
Then the kid goes nuts and murders his mum. She probably keeps up his subscription out of fear.

Only BF2 doesn't charge players monthly fees. However, the closed nature of the ranking system does make it hard for mods to prosper, which is irritating.

As far as MMO's go...click here.

I've gone on some weekend BF2 benders playing for 12 or 14 hours straight.  but god damn, 16 hours per day, playing a fucking MMO.  Those parents need to smash that computer, cancel the subscription, cut off the internet connection, get that little freeloading douche outside and back in school.

I'm a game addict, but I've played both EQ2 and WoW trials, and so far I still don't want to pay a monthly fee for MMO time. I've also beaten Guild Wars about three times with three characters in the course of a few months, and have went through a few online battles. Haven't touched it since (honestly, I was lured by the deceptiveness of the screenshots, esp. pre-searing, where the maps looked alot larger than they actually were).

On the other hand, I've played BF2 for over 500 hours since Gamestop shipped my preorder.

I finally watched the video. Here's some remarks...

1. Punching holes in walls? Anger problem, but as native to accounting software as to gaming.
2. Mom worried? Pull the net connection. Force the kid to find other hobbies. I spend alot of time on the computer, but I also have other hobbies: reading, bowling, biking, pool, skiing (when in season) and target practice with firearms and bows.
3. The video itself had an underlying, condescending tone that, while I'm not an MMO gamer myself, still got under my skin.
4. Following the indoctrination of internet addiction into psychology handbooks, we'll probably start seeing a rise in fucking drugs designed to handle it. More chemicals. That's all our society needs.

Parrents foult. If you let your kid to quit school for a video game I don't think the kid is to blame.
Although that story seemed so unbeliveable that my bet is on it being staged. No mother who cares about her child will let him destroy his life.

I hate these "shoking true stories" that are shown on the TV every week about addicted gamers. Makes everyone who plays games look like a no-life addict in the eyes of the non-gaming-aware population
