  4. Look at it this way... by ElVee · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm a divorced, unattached, middle-aged man.

    During the week I get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner. What should I do with the rest of my evening? I have no homework, I have no significant other demanding attention. TV sucks ass. I'm angry and bitter at the world and what better way to unwind and release some of that anger than smacking some punks around in World of Warcraft?

    It was either online gaming or find a tall tower and a sniper rifle.
