Learning About How WoW Has Impacted Others

World of Warcraft (WoW) is my husband's MMO drug of choice. If I was willing to re-donate hours to game playing, it would also be my drug of choice. Yesterday, my gamer asked me if I wanted to level my character up for him when the Cataclysm expansion is released. I just don't know how I feel about that. I love to play the game...that's not why I stopped. I wanted to get out of the house and see friends I hadn't seen since college. I wanted to meet new people. I needed to plan our wedding, and I needed to research home-buying. Well, in my pursuit to learn more, I stumbled upon the WoW Insider Blog called "Drama Mamas" that deals with drama issues involving WoW and WoW gamers. The following are my (so far) favorite posts:

That last one might just get me back into playing...at least until my bank account says I can go shopping again.

About Me

My photo
My gamer husband and I sleep ~7 hours each day, drive an hour to/from work, and work 40+ hours each week. So, our time together to talk, grow close, and enjoy life is limited to the six hours of free time leftover each day. When I cook dinner, time shrinks to five hours. When I buy groceries, visit my mom, call my sister, walk the dog, wash laundry, stack dishes, and plan for the future...well, let's just say we have no time for talking. So...you might wonder why I do not drag my husband with me to talk while finishing these errands...The simple answer? He's a gamer.
