World of Warcraft Comes to South Park
lmd writes "The first episode of South Park Season 10 is this Wednesday, October 4, at 10:00 PM Eastern/Pacific Time on Comedy Central. It will be called "Make Love, Not Warcraft". A sneak peek in Quicktime and DivX is available." Flash version of the blurb courtesy of Kotaku.
What is this Kotaku nonsense? Here's the direct YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsHQ4E_VhaU
Season 10 already has 7 epsiodes. It's just they stop each season half way through to let the animator's wrists recover - this is the first episode after the break.

I can attest to just drinking more soda's and eating chips etc. while doing intense WoW sessions, it stems from not wanting to get up all the time to forage through the refrigerator, which is where an easy meal (read: unhealthy) comes into play. I've since stopped playing and corrected my diet, but the weight I put on is very noticeable. Im just lucky I still have a decent metabolism or else my body might have gone to all hell. The horror story of playing WoW (in the wrong way, I realize some people can control themselves) doesn't stop there though. Developing sores from sitting too long and losing all semblance of a non-online social life is par for the course for a lot of players, many of whom I met on raids and talked to in my guild.
Just don't get me started on those times I refused my bodies urgings for me to piss during raids. If i ever go back to WoW it'll involve a lot more breaks during and after play sessions.
Checking places like Circuit City, Best Buy, EB Games, GoGamer, Amazon.com, etc... they are all selling the game for ~ $19.99

Yeah it's by Dalaran in Hillsbrad / Alterac Mountains. I used to pvp in the zone all the time (before world pvp died to Civilians.)
How dare you confuse an Aussie with a European!
And anyway, all my comment gave away was that I wasn't a Yank. Where else does 10/4 mean October?
I don't play WoW but a friend of mine does. It is as bad or worse then you state. While he hasn't gained much weight, I was disapointed when he would invite me (or anyone else) over and after 3 minutes of bullshiting, he would goto the computer and conduct the rest of the evening with paltalk in the background and going on raids. Sometimes you would need to repeat yourself because the game got in the way.
I thought it was more or less a joke when his wife started hitting on me directly infront of him saying he wouldn't notice anything outside his game. Then one day, she actualy started playing wiht me in a way that I knew she wasn't kidding and she definatly wanted some attention in certain areas.
I guess what really astounded me was when on the most recent visit (his wife's kid's from another marriage had his 19th birthday) , with about 14 other people in the computer room (den) he wips his pecker out and starts urinating into a two liter pepsi bottle he recently drank. Looking around, we determined he is too involved to throw them out too. He has droped to working around 2 days a week now but that seems to be enough to pay the bills.
I used to go hunting and fishing with him all the time. Now, I get a phone call while I'm in the field describing how exciting the last raid was or how someone was fucking with a member of thier clan and he showed them a thing or two. I though about turning the phone off but sometimes I need to be on call incase I have to work. He was given a fishing boat in like new condition by his dad who just didn't have anywere to store it. It got sold to someone else for around $2000 because he couldn't break away from the game long enough to tow it 20 minutes to his house (would have taken about 1 hour total to. go get it).
WoW is pretty much consuming his life.
There is an OSX client also.
BTW, this was recently and everyone did have a "wohh minute". We made jokes about it all though the night but I never really conected the why he did it with WOW until later. Some one probably has said something but I'm not sure. Besides, it his life to live, not mine. Who am i to tell him how to live it.
Depending on your definition of things, I'll note that Anna Nicole Smith had a son that age.
