Catching a home run at a baseball game is pretty freakin’ awesome. But it’s something else entirely to catch Los Angeles Angels outfielder, Torii Hunter’s home run (in this case, at batting practice) while holding a video camera, capturing the whole thing on tape. But when you do, it’s your duty to put it on the Internet, and this guy follows through.

After his mother canceled his World of Warcraft account, this kid freaks out like Jar Jar Binks trying to kick a PCP habit. In fact, he get so insanely pissed, his f**king clothes melt off, and he tries to shove a remote up his ass. Seriously. Fortunately for us, his brother had the wherewithal to quickly sneak a video camera into the kid’s room, capturing the entire frightening scene on tape. Unfortunately for the kid, every girl he knows has now seen his giant WoW vagina.

If you’ve ever had an interaction with the police, you know how frustrating it is to be completely helpless from their bullsh*t power – especially when they’re arresting and won’t tell you why. So I completely understand this weird nerd’s pleas. His singing, I don’t quite get. But whatever – he makes up for that entirely after getting Tazered, then getting away! It’s awesome.

This is it, buddy. The time has come. You had a good run. Sure everyone likes to have fun now and again, but its gone too far and you need to quit. For you, for your health, for your family.

You’ve got to stop playing World Of Warcraft.

At approx. 9 Million users worldwide, WOW is one of the most popular addictive substances on the planet. That first hit gets you going, and when you level, it’s like, you’re just so free, man. It’s so real. Some people can handle it, can play casually. They don’t care what level they are, or what their mount looks like, or what might be selling at the auction house right now (LINEN IS GOING FOR 2s A STACK BUY! BUY! BUY!). But they aren’t you. You have to quit and your doing it cold turkey. It’s hard, but it can be done. Here are a few tips to help you on your journey to recovery. (more…)

While casual players of MMOs may not see the big deal, it’s plain as day to the rest of the planet: hardcore gaming has taken on a disturbing level of obsession. Players log in ungodly amounts of time playing titles such as World of Warcraft and Everquest, effectively ostracizing them from the outside world. Video games, like watching television and playing sports, are simply a source of entertainment – but when do they become less of a leisure activity and more of an addiction?

Second Skin is out to set the record straight, touching on not only the obsessive gamers – the trailer seems not to point fingers at the games, but at the player’s themselves, which is fair – but the relationships they forge with like-minded people worldwide. These gaming communities are strong, but some turn their players into anti-social shut ins, concerned with gaming and nothing else.

Watch the Second Skin trailer after the jump. (more…)

Video games can be, well, addicting. God knows how many late nights I spent trying get out of that one dungeon, or unlock that one sword, or kept saying to myself, “Just one more level…” Still, I draw my limits on things like World of Warcraft.

In case you aren’t up on the MMORPG (that’s Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Game) front, World of Warcraft is the most popular MMO out there, with well over six million – yes, million – players.

I know people who are hopelessly addicted, people who have no social life, people who dropped out of school so that they could spend more hours playing Warcraft. So when I read about a married couple of six years that divorced because of this game, I could only say one thing: WOW. (more…)

This dude’s kid brother is a guild leader in Warcraft. All the guy did was lag the internet connection while in the middle of a raid and it took less than one minute for the guild leader to flip out.

Oh yes, there is a dude (probably some tree-hugging douchebag) named Ken Seeley.

He does interventions and specializes in Video Game Addictions. WOW (as in WoW, World of Warcraft). Talk about putting yourself in a niche.

Good luck Ken, your site is polluting the internet!

I believe the song from the South Park movie goes, “There are times when you get suckered in, by drugs and alcohol and sex with women. But it’s when you do these things too much that you become an addict and have to get back in touch.”

Mr. Mackey left something out of that little ditty: the video game World of Warcraft. (more…)
