That game is big money stuff here in South Korea...they go fucking nuts over that game. A guy died as a result of staying up for 72 hours playing it in a cafe here. And by cafe, I mean whatever room they can cram as many computers and people into and charge for it. Big money industry here, there are even cable channels where you pay to watch people play video games.
If you ever take business classes or are just unbelievable bored google online gaming economies. People are making money these games by selling off the stuff they find in the games on ebay and other auction sites. In Mexico, they have people who do nothing but play these games to sell the shit they score in the game for real cash. I think I just read where someone playing Ever Quest (evercrack) sold a sword for something like $2,500...$2,500!?! For something that is not even real...it exists in a fantasy world.
I'll admit, I play my fair share of computer games and I even grew up with D&D and shit like that...but this online stuff is like crack to people, people have lost their livelihoods over this...job, family, house, etc.

I have a friend who is hooked on Counter Strike. His wife
yells at him all the time for playing it. It is fun, but I'd rather
be doing something productive with my time.(ex:making my GN
faster, modding my S-10, or drinkin' with the guys in Vegas !)

I never got the allure of Stars Wars or sci fi or any kind of gaming really. Like video games, you can have a kid be badass at some skater game, but when I was a kid, it was real. And so were my cuts and scrapes, it's just more of a rush for me. Each to his own I guess...

Al least it's not a Bot, I enabled visual confirmation at sign up..
He didn't use a referral link either, I ahve to respect that.
As far as gaming goes, I usually D/L the demos, play them for a day or so, and get bored. The only one that has hooked me enough to actually purchase it is Call Of Duty 2. AMAZING game.

You guys want a rush? Try Backgammon some time! "Once you go Backgammon, you never..."

I like throwing dice myself...

Playing quarters is good too, I used to hustle cheap gambling games as a kid...

I used to be really good at that. I could get em in rolling them
off my nose and all sorts of tricks like that. But with every talent there is also a dark side...
I started to notice that I was getting everyone else drunk and not me. So, I
started choosing myself. I got even better at it when I was drunk. The last time
I played, everybody got pissed at me the next day for drinking all the beer!
They started calling me "Fish" after that. :atbeer:
