Wow Is Serious Business


(click on the picture above)

World of Warcraft uniquely engulfs gamers in a complete world of sensory stimuli allowing them lose themselves for hours, days, and months. Gamers construct intricate characters, identities, and even take on different names to actually become walking characters in this alternate world. The extent to which these people interalize the new world and shift their identities and priorities will obviously have consequences on their human components. While most don't display clear mental health issues like the character freaking out about a sword in this clip, his reaction clearly speaks to how lost gamers become. "It's just a fucking game."

hi, id like to point out that there is no item in wow named cloudsong at all. also ive heard this clip on like 10 different YTMND videos or pics. also there is no necromancers in world of warcraft and we said that the person that was yelling was a necro. ok man i play wow. ive never bin pisseed if i dnt get loot cuz it comes eventually. even if i ever get mad for any reason i leave. all you people dont understand that we just like it as a game not a life. and as for the racist thing. me i have never seen people be as rude as u say they are but im prty sure some people are dicks.

Cloudsong is from Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) NOT from WoW. Granted that doesn't make this any less sad, but just thought you would like to know.
