30 Signs That You’re Addicted to WOW
World of Warcraft addiction is a serious issue. Overseas there are actually rehab centers dedicated to this terrible affliction. Many of us have heard of the terrible tragedies of players actually dying due to too many red bulls and three days of hard core grinding. For some of us we are in denial, WoW is only a game that’s it. We forget that we only shower once a week, and all we eat is take out because there is not enough time to cook and get ready for a raid. As a way to help my fellow gamers, I’ve comprised a small list that will help us all face that addiction head on and spend more time in the real world. If you’re uncertain whether you have an addiction to WoW, check out the list, and see how many ring true.

Great list. I’ve got a shorter one on my site too that might add a little more. Check it out. But now the question is what do you do about World of Warcraft addiction once you recognize it?
sounds to me more like a “if you make a “that long” list of things you probably want people to think that you know what life is but are, in reality just an other dork addicted to something else then wow” post.
28) Almost all of your pants seem tighter
Then all desk workers are addicted to wow? Bus drivers too? Cops!
(23) There is a butt indent in your gaming chair
Typo!? You obviously mean wow chair because you aren’t talking about gaming addictions but wow addiction, cause we all know that wow is not a video game and that video games aren’t addictive, it’s just wow!
(22) You talk to people online more then your family
So keeping contact with your friend online and not your family means that you are addicted to wow.. even if you don’t play the game!?
(21) When you’re around other gamers you constantly talk about WoW and nothing else
Yeah but all they talk about is Halo!
(20) Other people get annoyed when you constantly talk about WoW
One track minded people are indeed annoying.. It’s like 99% of your coworker who only talk about last night reality show but, it’s cool cause they aren’t addicted to wow!
(19) PVP’n gives you a sense of superiority over others
Yeah, it’s like owning a huge car or a plasma tv.. OMG! Texas is addicted to wow!
(15) Cross dressing in real life is weird, but playing a female toon is normal
I’m ain’t judging but if you don’t see the difference between the two I ain’t sleeping over at your place.
(11) Watching videos and skits about WoW are hilarious
Isn’t every thing hilarious when it is hilarious?! Cheeple think home movies of face plant babies are hilarious.. and bob saget..
(6) The South Park episode of WoW, was a bit all too real
uhm.. Haven’t seen that one… watching…
(5) You’ve suddenly gotten carpal tunnel
So many office workers do get carpal tunnel.. Guess they are also WoW addicted just don’t know about it!
(4) You think that guildies are “real life friends”
So do cheeple think that about reality show cast but at least you can chat with guildies.
(1) You’ve spent real money to buy gold online
Isn’t that a newbie thing?!
Anyway, people who go at others people addictions makes me laugh. In this day and age everyone is addicted to something… If you can’t play WoW with moderation fat chance are you are an addictive compulsive and if it wasn’t for WoW he would be addicted to something else. Better that then the idiotbox but, judging from your introduction to this post I believe that your idiotbox addiction must not be short of your WoW one. People don’t die because they don’t sleep for 3 days! Dear god man get a freaking clue!..
Before trying to show other cheeple life issues you might want to get some fresh air and finish high school.

eeh.. You deal with it! You either stop playing or moderate your playing time.
