    If you get the chance listen in to Joe Duffy's Liveline at 1.45, a distressed mother has rung in after her 2 young sons have apparently become Addicted to "World of the Warcraft"

    Doubtless its going to be hilarious....

    Listening to it now... lol...

    She has a point, I agree with that... but the cheeky bitch, to say "I know some adults that are engrossed in it, pretty sad really when you think of it". Well most might think that your life is pretty sad... beatch.

    good man Ronan. :pac:

    I hate the way she's saying 'it's sad'. It's only a game. Same way people get thrills from solving a rubik's cube or something like that,

    Fair play Ronan! Brandishing online gaming as an evil is retarded. If someone has an addictive personality then you're going to get hooked on anything.

    "Kids and young people in playing video games for hours at a time shocker"

    "Video game makers in charging for product shocker"

    Making it out to sound sinister. I remember getting my NES as a kid, playing it for 14 hours on Christmas Day and myself and my brother beating the head off each other over it. That's my best childhood memory.

    Joe Duffy show today makes me sad. If you've kids under 18 they're you responsbility, after that you can **** right off telling people what to be doing.

    Please WoW fans bombard Joe Duffy for the next 3 months with your opinions.

    The amount of times that original caller used the word "sad" was ridiculous
    Also she sounds a bit of a crazy man to actually take away the cables and broadband.

    Also wonder how many of the 3 kids play nelf female hunters :P

    Not over yet, cafting my long letter to the show regarding the negative portrayel of gamers on the show and the original callers uneducated view of gaming.

    I think that like so many other people she is blaming her inability to properly parent her children on games. I grew up with a games, from the ages of 5 years and 7 days I have never gone more than a few days without playing a game of some variety.

    Also I missed the start of it, did anyone mention that WoW is aimed at adults? All the ads are aimed at the over 20s, who the hell outside the 20-30 age group would recognise Van Damme?

    Some people don't appreciate the truth. Surely like my parents she could easily curb how long her kids play the game with a few rules. I know that when growing up at times I would only be allowed to play computer games when I had all my homework done, etc. I also recall that during the summer months TV and Computer Games were a no no, my parents would even cancel Sky in a bid to encourage me outside. The original caller is obviously unable to control her kids and rather than try to come to an agreement with her kids simply blames video games.
