Games & Recreation - 23 March 2007

I am married, one son, 40 hour a week job. I play World of Warcraft fairly often. Usually at least 2-3 hours a day, 5-6 days a week (depending on how busy I am).

I am constantly hearing about how "addictive" the game is, how it is ruining lives. People claim to be "recovering WoW addicts" and try to warn others from even starting to play it.

All I want to know is where is all of this coming from. It is a GAME, not a drug.

It someone is ruining their lives playing a game, it is not the game's fault, it is their's.

If your husband plays 9+ hours straight, there is something wrong with your marriage, not the game. Either he is an idiot and you need to leave, or he is hiding from you and he needs to leave.

If your kid is failing at school because he plays too much, shouldn't someone be putting a foot in his behind? How is it the game's fault?

How do people figure that they need to blame a video game for their own weaknesses

If Barbie can have 'bumps', why doesn't Ken have 'bulges'?

I ask the question this way so as not to offend the Yahoo patrol, but you get the gist of the question because you are smart people.

Possible to download Wii virtual console games through PC instead of WiiConnect?

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase and download Wii games through the internet on my PC, then transfer them to an SD card to my Wii? It seems like the Wii must be connected directly to the internet to do this. The problem here is that I keep the Wii at my g/f's, since I pretty much live there most of the time, and she doesn't have a wireless internet router. I really don't want to spend money on the USB->ethernet adaptor. I was just hoping I could do this from my PC directly without having to screw around with the Wii channel. If this is possible, there doesn't seem to be a clear way to do it... thanks.

What is the toughest video game boss you ever fought?

Or game that was really difficult, since some games do not have traditional boss fights at the end much anymore.

For game I would say original Splinter Cell. And for boss I would have to put a tie between God of War or Gears of War. That General RAAM is quite difficult on Insane mode in single player and Ares is a challenge on Spartan mode, I haven't even touched God Mode in that game yet.
