… 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.”
