A War Craft "widow"

Somet people are really upset over this game as a reply by rammars1977 says,


"My boyfriend has now convinced all his mates to buy it, and none of them have met up in three months, they are a close group of mates and used to meet 3/4 times in the week and at weekends, to go for a drink have a night of poker, enjoy each others company watch a movie or whatever, one of his mates even lives next door to him, but they don’t even see each other and only communicate through WOW. They have all lost all their social skills and can no longer interact on a normal level. Although it’s frustrating i feel sorry for them and angry at the gaming world for creating this monster that is destroying human kind, meanwhile i am still more or less a warcraft widow!!!"

Even worse nadji in a blog titled "death to Wow" says:
"I’m sick of this god dammed game! it is like the plague and it is currently infecting my circle of friends and turning them all into anti social zombies. It all started with one of my mates buying the game, and he some how convinced a couple people to join him in playing it. From there it spread like wild fire, it gets worse everyday. At lunchtime all they talk about is wow, and when they get home they play it til the crack of dawn. Im seriously considering just hanging out with other mates that are not zombified. If anyone out has a friend who is considering buying WoW stop him before it is too late."

"On topic: because of these reason i would like to injure/hurt anyone involved in the making of this game."

Some people can take this game but it is evident that some people cannot. What is going to happen to the youth in our day as these games start to increase?

Take a break from Wow for lent



At this time a year it is always good to look at your life and see what you are doing good at and what needs to change. Sometimes you can't really tell if you need to change something or not and that is where lent comes in. During lent you can take a break from anything and see if you can withstand a week without it and if you can you are doing fine but if you can't that might be a problem. This week Kelsey came up to me and told me that she was taking a break from Wow for lent. This is a girl who is building continuing a strong relationship with her boyfriend through Wow and now she makes is making an even more mature move. Regardless if you are religious or not try taking a break from lent, not only does it allow for you to check if you are maintaining a healthy balance of life and computer games but it also gives you a lot of time off during that week that allows you to re asses things in your life. Take some time off and breath and maybe not do anything for a while in this busy crazy world, and you never know you might find something that you have been wanting for a long time.
