Title: Addicted to VG's?  Oprah's there for you!
Post by: Spriggan on November 05, 2003, 08:04:48 PM
Her royal highness and rulers of all things Oprah Winfrey is doing a show on people addicted to video games.  Maybe Entropy can get on the show and get a trip the the US, it would be a lot easier to hang out with him in chicago then scotland.  Anyway if you want to me mocked on tv you can apply below:

Ahh...Evercrack addicts talking about their experiences.

"I lost my wife, my car and my job, but I don't care cos my Dwarfen Frobnozzler is almost at level seventy-two, and it only took me sixty hours to get here from level seventy-one, by repeatadly clicking a mouse button. Not including the time I spent waiting for things to respawn, of course, that was another seventy hours."

see, that's one thing i've established. I will start ignoring you in chat or whatever to take care of kids, with NO explanation. I don't care who you are, if a kid starts crying, or there's a diaper, or a meal for the little one, that's first, and they're automatically more important than anyone on the other end of the line.

/me sighs

Is this the way to our pockets? Stealing what little time we have? Apparantly, yes, judging from the amount of money it makes. It's getting ridiculous though...People who find their children an annoyance to playing the game!
