    This only seems to be a bunch of quotes from MMORPG players with a blurb of explanation and some quizzes... Boring?

    Oh come on. Like every human endeavor that was ever undertaken, playing MMORPGs is just another complicated scheme to get laid. I'm sure it's working for somebody.

      Yes, I met a cute, bisexual, nymphomaniac with large breasts and an interest in computers and cars, thanks to WoW.

      One day I hope to take her out on a date.

      It's true! It works! I've gotten so "addicted" to playing WoW that my wife has been having more sex with me to get me away from the computer! All is proceeding according to plan...

      'her'? I think you are making a big assumption, as that description fits the guy in the cube next to me perfectly.

      I think your in trouble.
