It burns…
As I mentioned a few days ago, I was planning on playing World of Warcraft during the weekend and while I did manage to put in a few hours each night, I was upset to find out this morning that I could have turned my weekend into a, 15 minutes of fame, television opportunity. All I would have needed to do was to work harder.
After scanning through some of the gaming blogs this morning I happened across a link to a video in which Tyra Banks attempts some sort of intervention because a boyfriend is neglecting his fiancé and baby due to the massive amount of time he puts in on World of Warcraft.
I love the look on her face when she looks into the camera when the child is crying, but the father is just too busy with the game... it's just priceless.
My personal favorite part of the show is where he destroys his CD's for the game... but of course not mentioning that you don't need the disks once you install the game. Ooops. I guess it would have been too much production to show him deleting his characters and removing his subscription information.
All I can say is that I'm just pissed that I didn't wait until my child was asleep to play the game over the weekend. I just can't believe that I passed up all of those prime neglecting opportunities when I was helping take care of my 2 year old this weekend. There were at least 3 or 4 hours that I could have easily propped my child in front of a TV and ignored her while I attempted to collect herbs in Eversong Woods.
Sometimes, I guess that I just don't know what parenting truly is.

This is just the start of what will be a huge anti-WoW and anti-MMO backlash. You’re going to see stuff like this on the evening news. You’ll see the anti-game crowd focus on the addictiveness instead of the violence.
