"EverQuest: A Threat to Society?" It's an ACTUAL ARTICLE.
Screw terrorists. Those goddamned elves are taking us down from the inside.

Oh, it makes me laaaaaaaaaaugh.
Laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh.
Just a few hilights of this crusade against those mind-controlling electronic entertainment devices:
"Articles"
+ Massive Multiplayer Role Playing... Game or Fatal Attraction?
+ E3: The Evil Entertainment Expo
+ Video Game Networks or Online Training Camps?
+ Americas Army: A New Low
"Resources"
+ Young gamers are prone to being burdened with depression and sadness all throughout their life.
Personally, I think it's less the video games as having to deal with idiots like MAVAV. Loosing faith in humanity can get a person down, you know?
+ Health studies have found that even those casual gamers suffer from low self-esteem and self-pride compared to their athletic and more socially accepted peers in their same age group.
Well, here's a thought. Maybe it's people like you refering to them as "socially unaccepted" that's getting them down. God, never become a guidance counselor. People would kill themselves.
+ Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) is a digital escape from the real world for emotionally unhealthy and mentally unstable people. It is a place for computer enthusiasts and social outcasts to gather un-bothered and un-harassed by the realities of rea llife.
OMG. It's.... people... exercising their imagination! MY GOD. THE HORROR. OF COURSE, they MUST be the dregs of society! No good god-fearing adult would want to pretend they're an ELF.
+ Video game addiction has become so serious now that the mass-media now compares video game addiction to alcohol and drug abuse.
I must have missed that segment on CNN. Oh, yes, and where does being addicted to video games kill you? I've never had to worry about getting off FFVII, jumping in a car, and crashing because of the PS high.
+ Do video games make people violent? Yes. What was once a debatable question, is now fact. New research hasconcluded that video game violence and behavior related violence are infact closely related.
Where is this research? Please, MAVAV, link us! Oh, wait, it's complete bullshit? Yeah, I figured.
I hate stupid people. And most of all, I hate stupid people that think they're better and smarter than you.
Anyhow, I finally met my roommate, Tiffany. ^_^ Luckily enough, she seems to be a sweetheart. She gave me permission to watch her TV. :DD Which I would be doing, but it's really freaking hard to find channels on what I believe is NAU cable. Or something. Yeah, it's fucked up.
I've been watching movies instead. :D I walked to Blockbuster and picked up Chicago, Chocolat, and Serenity. The last two I hadn't seen. I never really thought Chocolat was my sort of movie. I thought it was going to be pretentious, French, and coyingly romantic (don't get me wrong, I like my romance, but coyingly.) I was really, -really- pleasently surprised. It was just as good as everyone had been saying. ^_^ And Serenity. OH. MY. GOD. Even I have my moments of extreme idiocy, which is the only -possible- way that even with Many-mun's hearty recommendation and adoration of the series, that I could manage NOT to see it until now. GOD I loved it. Serenity soothes the ache of George Lucas raping my memories. I daresay I might even have found a cure for Hayden Christiansen. It's okay that he gets up and can't act his way out of a paper bag, because I have -Serenity-.
I am, at the moment, torn. Because I'm hungry, but I don't know if I'm hungry enough to walk over to the University Union or if it'll even be open today. And so I continue to be hungry. >.> It doesn't help that I'm either adjusting dramatically to the mountain air, or I'm sick. x_x
And in other news: I apparently got the party dorm.
