Rant: Oh Noes! Gamer Freaks Out On WoW! No WAI!

New expansion’s out.  I guess it’s that time again.  Yet another person has fainted/spazzed/died/thought-he-could-fly after playing a game for a pittance amount of time.

Probably Due to Someone Ninja-ing His Ore

Now, while common sense dictates that when you have millions of gamers playing the same game, let alone all the video games out there, that *one* person is gonna freak out eventually.  Sadly, we’re gonna be pelted with yet another Jack Thomson-like barrage of garbage saying games warp the mind and increase the players violent tendencies.  To anyone that actually believes that crap: Go Die In A Fire.

FIRE.

Seriously, *only* twenty-four hours?  That’s slightly better than the one kid from Asia that ‘wanted to be with his WoW friends’ after twenty hours and jumped off a roof.  (Note:  He forgot his flying mount)  How he couldn’t have just…you know…not left the game and kept playing with them is somewhat puzzling.  Perhaps it was a Tuesday and the servers were down for maintenance?  While we all have been there, writhing with hatred for the evils that delay us from hitting our virtual morphine drip, I doubt we have ever said “Dude, the server is DOWN.  I’m totally sad bro…you know what?  I’mma jump off my freaking building because I’m so very right in the mind” and then hurl ourselves towards a crushing demise.

Stupid “Intellectually challenged” people are still going to be challenged while they play games.  People that like to shoot other people, are still going to feel that way while andafter they play video games.  If you start to feel sick, it’s probably a good time to stretch those atrophied legs of yours and make yourself a bowl of Ramen.

Remember kids:  Ramen Prevents Seizures.
