Couple jailed after games addiction

I'm allergic to MMORPG's too much time investment. Plus why the heck would anyone want to pay monthly fees for a game they paid nearly 80$ for in the first place. That better be the best goddamn game ever made or ever to be made in my estimation. Shoot pick up half life for 5$ and play the modifications for it ;).

I like the idea of being able to explore a "fake" world though and just kind of poke my nose into every corner type of thing, I love exploring. Forgotten Realms did that recently I believe with their interactive atlas I've been looking for a copy but its not in any stores near me.

Those poor kids. Imagine how many times their needs and wants went unanswered and how many times they problably needed a hug or a kiss or a cuddle and had nothing.Maybe not even eye contact.
The physical neglect is horrible.
The emotional neglect and trauma is heartbreaking.
So very sad. I feel like holding mine right now, but they are sleeping.
I cannot imagine how......just how can you favor anything over your own children let alone a computer game.

well said funkymonkey.

thats fucked, how hard would it be to drag yourself away from a game just for 30 mins so you can feed and change your fucking kid? twats

id also take bets on the game being world of warcraft though, or possibly just some casino things..

It has already happened a few times with everquest parents. Some couple in the US went to jail for neglect, their kid was starving.

I've never played WoW, Everquest or any of those games.. What are they? Are they online games, Pc games, console games, what?

MMORPG
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

I play EQ2 myself and I might have went to bed late sometimes because of it, but I never neglected my life to make a lvl.
RL>OL :p

They are extremely lame, repetive games, that ask for a huge time sink for absolutely nothing in return. Yes, I've played most of them, but no, not to the addicted points these people take it to. Honestly, is it that important to escape your daily life? Since Evercrack came out, every MMO has used it as a model on how to make money. Simply keep moving that carrot farther away from the donkey.

It's not Only Gaming that Leads to neglect in Scotland . . . Could also be the SoapBar and Haggis along with the annual dressing up as William Wallace and believing that because you were born in Scotland you are the High and Mighty! . . :rolleyes: . . Sense my sarcastic comment . . .

. . . I'm only joking, The Scot's will give you anything you like . . . As long as you pay double wack for it! . . . Ever heard the saying . . .

. . "He's tighter than a scotsman with nee arms!" . . . ;) . . .

. . . Still , , , 100% more pleasant than us from London . . Rat Race Posse! :eek:
