If World of Warcraft has disrupted your family life…
July 3rd, 2008 by Treena Shapiro… or if you know an addict, you’ll want to watch this.
I’ve never figured out why my son likes watching (and making) YouTube videos of people playing video games, but he does. When I saw this video from the Onion News Network, I laughed not only because it’s funny, but because my son is bummed it’s not real.
“It looks fun!,” he said.
I love the Onion.

(Apologies to The Onion for taking the video off YouTube, but I couldn’t embed it otherwise. You can get to the video on the Onion site using this link: ‘Warcraft’ Sequel Lets Gamers Play A Character Playing ‘Warcraft)
I’m torn.
Is the best quote this:
“My avatar is the biggest World of Warcraft fan in the whole World of World of Warcraft world.”
Or is it this?
“When you’re staring at the computer screen, you actually believe you’re in a dimly lit basement staring at a computer screen.”

But could you make him pick his nose or scratch himself?

Hhahah, if I watch that, might remind me of when I used to play Dungeons and Dragons (which didn’t even have a GAME board [!]. AD&D fans, you know this).
You should rent “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” and watch it with your boy, Tree. Nutty, engaging docu’ about two guys vying for the title of King of Donkey Kong.

Alenuihaha: I shudder to think at the things that might be possible if such a game existed.
Chicken Grease: Kids today still do that, although it’s not D&D. They think they’re inventing something new.
Juh: That was hilarious! I want World of Momcraft.
