He will never know the favor that was done for him (the cancelling of the acct, not the video capture and subsequent showing to the world on youtube)

[JuggaloBrotha]

I have to agree with the comments on the video that it was all staged.

But then again WoW is one of those games that shouldn't have been created cause of crap like that.

[kleinma]

Possibly, but the sad reality is that people really can be like that. They can easily become mentally addicted, which can be nearly as bad as being physically addicted to something.

It really makes you wonder whether or not that's fake. Part of me thinks not, the kid is obviously rather socially repressed and probably identified more with the his life in WoW than with reality. Consider some of the things he did and noises he made, it was almost animalistic and very reminiscent of certain creatures in the game. The kid needs help, not online humiliation.

[demotivater]

Time timing of the vid taker seems a bit odd, so I vote semi-staged. But, if it is staged, do you think they rehearsed the part where he violates the remote?

[kleinma]

if it was staged, you have to question who someone would even stage such a thing. It isn't like it being fake and not making it obvious is going to make that kids life any more fun in school...

Or being mentally addicted to a physical addiction

I have never played WoW. But I used to play a lot of games (not online). I know playing games could be addictive (I actually once was) but I have never seen any game so vindictive that you start seeing yourself in it.

It's been a long time I have played any game. The last game I played was Far Cry and Halo. Pretty good games.

That's how I react when my Internet connection speed falls below 1 GBps.

(Obviously staged)

The kid needs help, not online humiliation.

Maybe a year's free WoW subscription?

[DeanMc]

I wouldn't say its staged, I do believe that kid needs to be looked at by a doctor. I suffer from mild ADHD and have done a lot of reading into mental health, I would get him checked out for manic depression. Anyone who goes that mad and calms down that quick would worry me!

[wossname]

I also have AD... whatever. WHOOOOOOO!!!!

[DeanMc]

also your wow account is NEVER canceled!

[DeanMc]

I also have AD... whatever. WHOOOOOOO!!!!

Funny that would not surprise me!

[kleinma]

WoW is a suitable name for the game considering I think that everytime someone tells me they actually play it

[Lord Orwell]

so they could get a video on their favourite site: epicfail.com, obviously.

The timing was not only obvious, but the remote thing was obviously for an audience.

[mendhak]

I also have AD... whatever. WHOOOOOOO!!!!

I thought you'd prefer Samba Server.

Staged.

i don't understand why he undressed himself.
Sequence of events:
"Omgosh i am angry, so i must put a blanket on me and rip my clothes off. Then i must go in a closet, come back out, and violate a remote. Then I need to hit myself with a shoe."

That is what I do when I have to write something in C#

[Lord Orwell]

Just like anything else, people think the world revolves around them. It's simply a symptom of the entitlement mentality. Blaming a 'thing' for the woes that befall oneself exonerates that individual from any responsibility. Sadly, there are far too many enablers who are quite happy to lavish praise on the Emperors New Clothes.
