I have seen too many friends get sucked into World of Warcraft and never come out again. One friend irrevocably screwed up his relationship with a really great girl. I know of countless others that have seriously destroyed their GPAs and honors status. It was enough to convince me never to start.
I know people who have made a fairly hefty sum of real money from playing MMORPG's. I know people who have met their girlfriends through MMORPG's. I learned how to read the Elder Futhark runes because of a MMORPG. It's not all bad, you just have to keep things in perspective.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
