World of Worcraft has taken my husband hostage!!!!

My brother and my husband have always been "gamers." It was Duke Nukem, Halo, Halflife, Starcraft.....all the typical networkable games on a Friday nite.
The latest one (World of Warcraft) has a pretty strong hold on them. The Friday nite game has turned into all-out-weekend long events. I have heard nothing but details on missions they have done and its funny as heck to me how "real" they speak of these things. Larry is currently trying to find out how and what to feed his pet bear so he can make it happy. (ummmmm.....ok.)

Check with the quest giver who taught you how to tame your pet, there is a separate quest to see another trainer to learn "feed pet"
Learn it, there will be a "Feed Pet" action in your Spell Book, click on it then click on the food you wish to feed it, different animals need different foods
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
this is hilarious {language cation}
there is a story that goes along with it that is just as funny, {he missed the briefing because he was getting some chicken out of the kitchen}

Do you want him to stop playing as much. tonight get all dolled up, go to the room that he's playing the game, and tell him your going out to find someone to play the game a woman likes instead of playing W.o.W. bet he will stop playing and show you the attention you deserve
and talk NERDY

THATS the one, thanks zulu
Things have certainly advanced since the introduction of "Pong"!
...Man, ain't that the truth! Spent hours listening to '*--*--*--*--*'. I lost interest after I killed all the "Space Invaders". After that.....well....

"I was walking along and all I saw was RED TEXT coming my way" (whatever that means) "There was a level 50, level 27 and two level 15s all helping this kid get to level 10" Their faces light up and the details aren't left out when they tell about what is going on in the game. Just hilarious....but I know THEY think I am just as "off" when I speak about my day.
My sweetie shows me plenty of attention. He is a real "keeper" and puts up with my surly but very well....I'm not complaining about his game playing. I just think its hilarious how INTO it he (and my brother) get. They talk about these sessions like they were very very real.

It means they are the opposite team.
He is either Horde or Alliance. Probably Alliance. Im Horde. but I have a life. Im level 34, pretty much a pawn shop. im the only 34 that uses it as his main with over 700gold haha.
My brother has well over 3-4 70's, and a 65.
I didn't think much of it, although I spent many weekends doing the regular chores around the house while she sat on her * in front of the computer for hours on end. I would offer to take her out for dinner or a movie on Saturday night, "no babe, there is a raid tonight" would be her answer.
In September 2007 she got laid off from her job. I didn't pressure her to go back to work, I made a good living and could pay the bills, I just wanted her to go back to school and finish getting her degree. Instead, while I was at work for 10 hours, she spent the days (and nights) playing World of Warcraft. I would wake up at 4am and she would just be coming to bed.
Then I came home one day in early April to a half empty house and a note from her saying she didn't want to be married to me anymore. Turns out that she had taken a liking to one of the guys she met on Warcraft. He even drove out to our house, while I was at work, and helped her move her stuff. She left with him and now lives in the same city that he does, perhaps even with him, I don't know for sure.
Computer games can be fun, I have enjoyed them for many years. But there are some people that just don't know how to handle them in moderation. They can be as dangerous as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. If your loved one is addicted to a computer game, BE VERY CAREFUL. When they start scheduling their lives around events in the game, or start talking about other players as if they are real-life friends, then SOMETHING IS WRONG.
My soon-to-be-ex-wife and I started playing WoW in January 2006. I thought it was fun, a nice diversion on the weekends or after work... she became totally addicted. Every waking hour she would play that game. Soon she had joined a guild, then became a guild officer, then she eventually started her own guild and recruited other players to join.

WW, Thats really a sad story, I can't even imagine that, sorry you are going through this. I stay up late playin COD4 on Live sometimes, but have yet to meet anyone who I want to play with on a regular basis. I have heard of people doing some strange things as a result of these RPG type games, they don't seem to be healthy.
We don't have DSL here at the house. My laptop has internet through Verizon and we also have dial up...neither let him play on line while at home. In order to play WoW he has to go to my brother's house. They are also looking foreward to the new Starcraft coming out. We actually have to build another machine for that one.
Every once in a while a game will come out that makes the little group feel the need to upgrade. I usually get the last game machine and I take the current home computer to the store and the store machine gets an upgrade at that time. I think this will be the third time the "circle of life" has happened with these machines.

While I have not played Warcraft, I have played (and still play) other games that are equally addicting, although I play them in moderation after I have accomplished something around the house (i.e. after mowing the lawn or paying the bills, or fixing a broken sink, etc.). If you want to get him out of the house for some family time, try to find a Renaissance Faire or Medieval Times nearby where you live. You'll be out of the house, and everyone will have a great time. Also, Gencon is coming up soon, and it's a HUGE gaming convention, but it isn't all about sitting in front of a computer screen. There's activities such as real live D&D roleplaying and the like. Surprise him with tickets to it. You'll have a great time there too. The key is to find real-life activities that are similar to what he enjoys about Warcraft, and then have fun doing those activities together. So go out and buy him a real life pet bear and teach him how to feed it, so he doesn't have to worry about the one in the game. [:D]

just buy him a +15 hoodie of greatness, i play wow more than any other game just cause its fun for me, my gf plays some when she can. But i showed her that hoodie and she just laughed. Cause she actually understood what it meant cause of playing wow. Or if you want to get him something, buy him a burning crusade ezboard. But honestly i have no interest in those type of faires and stuff i just play to pass time. But hey he might ask him and find out.
