How do i deal with a closet WOW enthusiast

[Clarence]

The guy i work with is a secret closet WOW fanatic. I am trying to find out a way for him to come out so the problem does not increase to much. I think that if he gets out in the open it will not result in him becoming a hermit of WOW. He already has an aversion to sunlight and has been getting more aggresive of late. He seems to spend more and more time planning on the construction of a super duper PC that will be able to run his vast empire and satisfy his thirst that is bottled up in his inner core. Any help or suggestions.

Give him a copy of Oblivion. He will never play WOW again.

introduce heroin to his life

remind him that girls never ever like WOW, girls=pussy.

Give his 'puter (ha, funny word) swimming lessons. Then ask him to give you twenty bucks, for your time and expert instruction.

This worked for me, and i realized i spent enough time on WOW a week for it to be a full time job and i had nothing to show for it, didn't even make it to 60 after months of playing. It is a time sink from hell and is more work then fun.

sadly I know girls that play wow. I wouldn't touch them with George Walker Bush's wang much less my own. but nevertheless they do exist.

But I hate that game. Nothing like having a friend tell you when you show up. "Sorry I can't hang out, I got a 4 hour raid"

they lose everything. It's a really sad situation. It takes people who are already losers trying to escape life. and then it gives them a game where they can feel like a winner and are accomplishing something by spending ungodly amounts of life on something that doesn't actually exist.

and the more time they spend the bigger of a winner they feel. and of course the game draws them back because the more they play the bigger of a loser they are in real life so they want to escape.

I've made a bit of money off of WoW. Sold a level 60 warrior for 750$, a level 70 paladin for 750$, a level 60 warrior for 600$, and now I have a 70 priest, 70 mage, and 70 warrior up for sale, for a total of 1000$.
Its insanely stupid how much money people will pay for some information on a server somewhere. I played those level 70s for about 1-2 hours a week, and people who are really terrible and can't get high arena ratings and thus gladiator gear will pay hundreds of dollars for someone to do it for them.
Pathetic.
