I am not a big fan of main media reporting about "MMOG addiction" because either the issues get dumbed down or it is painfully clear that a hidden agenda prevails. <br /><br />Apparently the "addicted to WoW" has made it to the daily talkies via Tyra Banks which (going back to the obvious) made me realize that I had not thought of searching YouTube for clips MMOG gamers and / or their friends may have made already. So rather than giving you the embedded video for the talkshow segment, here is a link showing the results from my search on "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=addicted+to+world+of+warcraft&search=Search">addicted to world of warcraft</a>" and "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wow+addiction&search=Search">wow addiction</a>". Look and judge for yourself. Has the time come when partners and friends of out-of-control MMOGers can show what they are going through?<br /><br />Interestingly enough, searches on everquest did not yield that much.</span>Jnoreply@blogger.com
