Precision pointed out that a Taiwanese man has been named the first ever person to successfully beat World of Warcraft, getting all 986 achievements, completing 5906 quests and /hugging 11 players. Insert joke here. There are many.

      Well, if he's like every other person I know who has become particularly "accomplished" at games like this, you just wait until the pathetic lardball has a massive heart attack at the age of 34.

      I played WoW, and it's okay, but I can't keep interested anymore for more than a month at a time, and in more than three years I've only paid for a total of 14 months of playtime, about a month of which I didn't actually even play. It's a great time waster, but people like this either have some seriously bizarre priorities in life compared to everyone else, or have some sort of serious mental disorder and need urgent help.

    High Five brother. I beat a 2.5 year long WoWcrack addiction myself years ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Those long, back-knotted nights of failed Stratholme runs and epic fails. Noobs causing my blood pressure to rise exponentially in the Arathi Highlands....The cold chills of the 4 AM morning air nipping at my underwear-shod body, the only thing driving my spirit was the pipe dream of epic loots and bragging rights in Ironforge. Before Illidan. Before Arthas. Back when you knew how dedicated a WoW player was based on how high their fishing skill was....

    *shudder*

    I was one of the few ones lucky enough to turn away from that hell with my life still intact. I feel a bond with others I meet that were able to do the same. Stand strong my friend...relapse is easy.
