Mourn a true hardcore gamer!

Father should have sent his kid to a boarding school like Ben Stein~

“…Tommy is in his room sitting at his fancy computer (but, as he tells me all the time, not fancy enough) playing his goddamned Everquest, the worst thing that ever happened to him, a literal curse, a drug that eats away at every drop of energy and initiative. It's a sort of online ‘Dungeons and Dragons,’ and he loves it beyond description. He can stay on forever. Plus, he can spend money on it like there is no tomorrow. He is simply a demon at it. And we are the demon facilitators because we are so happy he's not using marijuana, we keep letting him play his evil Everquest.”

Stein’s son eventually kicked his addiction after he came back from reform school and the old Tommy is back, but how many other parents are paying attention?

I bet he didn't get any exp. Come on, two hits? He was totally an overcon if he got anything.

(Also shouldn't this be in off-topic?)

No really, it's a good documentary. If you have Netflix (Which you should), you can stream it.

The woman setting up the gamers anonymous thing was so annoying. She seems to stereotype gamers, and came from an outside perspective. It's a hard thing to understand and actually emphasize with when you have no direct history with gaming herself. Trying to cut and paste a general guideline just won't cut it with the varying types of gaming addictions.
