On a related note http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapc...ction=cnn_tech. 28 years old. That's how old I am. Glad I stuck to FPS and sim games.

I thought it would be something like that to. I found another article that said it was StarCraft of all things. http://www.kplctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3703646

I would much rather play BF or BF2.

"But the phenomenal popularity of online games has fuelled concerns that some people may be losing themselves in the virtual worlds of massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

In one extreme case, a player killed a fellow player who had stolen his virtual sword. The gamer received a suspended death sentence in June. "

lol...
