Yes, let's 'fess up, we are all addicted to WoW, but do you let it go out of control?

The Dallas Morning News has a fascinating article about the growing awareness of video game addiciton!

As a freshman at the University of North Texas, Daniel Folmer would sometimes play video games for 12 hours straight. He stopped going out with friends. He sank onto academic probation.

When his girlfriend came over, he stayed in his virtual world. Then she told him something that jolted him back to reality.

"She just waited for me to look at her, or acknowledge her, or hug her or whatever, and she said she fell asleep waiting," he said. "I looked in the mirror, and I did not like who I was becoming."

Our favourite game of course gets a mention in this article, and it demonstrates the growing awareness of video game addiction becoming a serious problem!
