I think we have a winner for the geekiest/nerdiest quote of the year!!!!    

 

Just a few questions for you guys. What server are you on? Is there any good pvp? Being an old shadowbane player I was thinking it was time to let my homicidial maniac alter ego out again.

 

We're all on Area 52. It's not a PVP server, but there is always PVP going on in the battlegrounds.

I'm on a bit of a hiatus from the game, but I'm sure Covey and Monty are still playing all the time (otherwise they'd probably be around here more /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif )

So, how many reefers have we lost to the "addiction" known as WoW now? I have not seen Covey post since he got his computer back... LOL

 

Covey is like a WOW all-star

 

Please tell me he has started posting his games to YouTube.... /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/tongue.gif

 

LOL, do Covey and Monty even have tanks anymore or have they become complete victims of WoW?

Moderation Boys...

-JB

 

I have not seen or heard from them since Covey got his new computer... I have a bad feeling that he has sold his reef tank to afford the newest updates to WoW and now possibly has at least 3 alienware computers being operated 24/7 by illegal immigrants in a race to increase his gold and armour stash....

 

Bah...Alienware...for WoW? Are you serious? Even a mid grade vid card hardly breaks a sweat on WoW let alone a GTX260 or 4850...

Ah I see you have not met Covey...

 

I know people who run 6 windowed WoW chars and have what would be considered crap computers hehe.

I am so glad i didn't get sucked in to that game. ;-)

 

I just saw the WoW Southpark again last night... OMG that is hillarious!!!

 

I loved Warcraft I and II and it was too long of a wait for III and WoW for me.  I got into Diablo II online and realized I needed to not play games online.
Here's a good article.




RENO, Nev.
 —  A couple authorities say were so obsessed with the Internet and
video games that they left their babies starving and suffering other
health problems have pleaded guilty to child neglect.





The
children of Michael and Iana Straw, a boy age 22 months and a girl age
11 months, were severely malnourished and near death last month when
doctors saw them after social workers took them to a hospital,
authorities said. Both children are doing well and gaining weight in
foster care, prosecutor Kelli Ann Viloria told the Reno Gazette-Journal.





Michael
Straw, 25, and Iana Straw, 23, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts each
of child neglect. Each faces a maximum 12-year prison sentence.





Viloria
said the Reno couple were too distracted by online video games, mainly
the fantasy role-playing "Dungeons & Dragons" series, to give their
children proper care.





"They had food; they just
chose not to give it to their kids because they were too busy playing
video games," Viloria told the Reno Gazette-Journal.





Police
said hospital staff had to shave the head of the girl because her hair
was matted with cat urine. The 10-pound girl also had a mouth
infection, dry skin and severe dehydration.











Her
brother had to be treated for starvation and a genital infection. His
lack of muscle development caused him difficulty in walking,
investigators said.





The Straws have been given public defenders. The Associated Press left a message Saturday with the public defender's office.





Michael
Straw is an unemployed cashier, and his wife worked for a temporary
staffing agency doing warehouse work, according to court records. He
received a $50,000 inheritance that he spent on computer equipment and
a large plasma television, authorities said.





While child abuse because of drug addiction is common, abuse rooted in video game addiction is rare, Viloria said.





Last
month, experts at an American Medical Association meeting backed away
from a proposal to designate video game addiction as a mental disorder,
saying it had to be studied further. Some said the issue is like
alcoholism, while others said there was no concrete evidence it's a
psychological disease.





Patrick Killen,
spokesman for Nevada Child Abuse Prevention, said video game
addiction's correlation to child abuse is "a new spin on an old
problem."





"As we become more technologically
advanced, there's more distractions," Killen said. "It's easy for
someone to get addicted to something and neglect their children.
Whether it's video games or meth, it's a serious issue, and (we) need
to become more aware of it."
