I expect a Darwin Awards book for idiotic gamers.

&D player (14 years old) Tom Sullivan, Jr. got into Satanism and ended up stabbing his mother to death, arranging a ritual circle (from D&D) in the middle of the living room floor and lit a fire in its midst. Fortunately, his dad and little brother were awakened by a smoke detector; but by then, Tom, Jr. had slashed his wrists and throat with his Boy Scout knife and died in the snow in a neighbor's yard.(1/19/88, Amarillo, TX.)

Several members of my family have mental issues, my little sister can't tell reality from fiction and games. She really thinks pokemon are real. I'm the only member that can kinda keep a grasp on reallity and can tell the difference. But it is hard for me.... And yes I am being serious, When I was around 8 years old I couldn't tell the difference.... But around 10 I could kinda tell the difference..... It's hard for me.... That's probably why I spend most of my time playing Warcraft III The Frozen Throne....

Ehh yea, now people will think i'm a freak....

a few easy words to say is that games are just an easy target.

I personally can't stand World of Warcraft, and I think its the most overrated game of all time. However, I know guys who have dropped out of college because of that game. I like the idea of penalizing excessive MMORPG players. but the limit should be much longer than 3 hours. Maybe like 10-12 hours, and instead of lowering stats, require the player take a "time out" for so long before they will be able to log back in.

I can see it now...
Someone will be playing and be really into it ( or whatever makes them addicted) and all of a sudden, they get dropped from the server b/c of the "Anti-Addiction" measures put into place. Then they start hopping out windows b/c they don't know what to do with themselves if they can't play WOW.

Strain on society. These people will never be a productive part of society. So whats the point of them being alive ?

That dugeons and dragons thing is just screwed up.


On topic though, like many have said, you'd need to be mentally ill to loose control of fantasy and reality.

If people survived the mother[*Tisk*Tisking*] 1960's (the age of all things groovy and illiterate :rolleyes: ) We can get through another one.

The Warcraft game can be provided as therapy for the menally unstable. lol
