Warcraft

Back in March, I discussed how I'd been sucked into World of Warcraft alongside my beloved, and how I couldn't stop playing it.

The prospect of playing quite a lot of it over the weekend seems as good a time as any to acknowledge that I'm still hooked. I can't tell you how bizarre it seems to me that a computer game has me this much in its thrall. I'm just not that kind of person.

Weirder still, David, whose gaming is more varied and extensive than mine, has tried a number of alternatives in an effort to break the addiction, and none of them have taken. He might last a couple of sessions on something else before returning, like a crack 'ho to the pipe, to the amazing world of Azeroth.

Seriously - this game is dangerous to one's ability to have a life.
