I agree they matter to me to. One of the things I always check for are to see if its buggy or the game is too short. I hate spending $50 on a game for 6 hours of play time or find out it has terrible bugs. Most game reviews cover this. And renting sucks now, its about $8 at blockbuster and gamefly is waay too expensive.
What's really odd about this story and has me guessing it's validity is that most classes for junior/senior level require you take the freshman/sophomore classes first regardless of your AP credit. Also I'm surprised all the classes he needed were offered the exact semester he needed. I know a lot of times classes are offered once every other year (especially in physics/math) or only "every fall." If he did it in two years, that might be more believable, I'm a little skeptical here.
See I havent played WoW as long as you probably but I must comment on this. For me, I am a video game fan. I play video games now and I probably will for the next few years. For me WoW is the main game I play. I do log some hours of NCAA 07, but mostly WoW. If I cancel WoW, I'm sure I'd find some other game to fill that void. So yes you could say you wasted money on WoW, but lets look at my stats:
Before WoW I would buy 1 new xbox/pc game every 2-3 weeks about $50/each
Since WoW I have bought one game for xbox/pc, the ncaa game which $50 and ninja gaiden black, which cost $20.
WoW cost me $40 to buy and so far $82 in subscriptions in the 7 months I've played
so before WoW 7 months would have cost me ~ $400 on video games
with WoW in 7 months I have spent $120 (including the intial purchase) on WoW and $70 on non WoW games for a total of $190
WoW has saved me money.

Why not make your new keyboard and market it to companies, maybe they'll buy it. That might be more successful
