[20:57] <@mewse> "It's like any other addiction," Elizabeth Woolley said last week. "Either you die, go insane or you quit. My son died."
[20:57] <@mewse> heh
[20:57] <@mewse> usually you die
[20:57] <@mewse> because like
[20:58] <@mewse> you could go insane i guess
[20:58] <@mewse> but then you'd die
[20:58] <@mewse> and you could quit i guess
[20:58] <@mewse> but .. you'd still die
[20:58] <@arioch> heh
[20:58] <@mewse> its not like
[20:58] <@mewse> maybe if i go insane i'll never die
[20:58] <@arioch> not like you magically become immortal
[20:58] <@Jon_R> "Either you die, go insane or you quit"
[20:58] <@Jon_R> rofl
[20:59] <@Jon_R> so do the like 90% of population who are addicted to caffeine do that
[20:59] <@mewse> "Shawn was playing 12 hours a day, and he wasn't supposed to because he was epileptic, and the game would cause seizures," she said. "Probably the last eight times he had seizures were because of stints on the computer."
[20:59] <@Jon_R> haha
[20:59] <@Jon_R> was this guy an idiot
[20:59] <@mewse> Woolley knows her son had problems beyond EverQuest, and she tried to get him help by contacting a mental health program and trying to get him to live in a group home. A psychologist diagnosed him with depression and schizoid personality disorder, symptoms of which include a lack of desire for social relationships, little or no sex drive and a limited range of emotions in social settings.
[21:00] <@mewse> HMMM MAYBE EVERCRACK DIDN'T KILL HIM
[21:00] <@Jon_R> rofl
[21:00] <@mewse> MAYBE HE WAS A *SCHIZOID*
[21:00] <@Jon_R> god
[21:00] <@Jon_R> why are people so fucking stupid
[21:00] <@sdh^> yeah
[21:00] <@sdh^> its like
[21:00] <@mewse> its like recidivus
[21:00] <@sdh^> to kill yourself over something that happened on everquest you'd have to be pretty screwed up already
[21:00] <@Jon_R> "my son had a personality disorder which caused him to become addicted to a computer game, so I'm going to sue the computer games companies!"
[21:01] <@sdh^> you cant go making laws because of the effects computer games might have on insane people
[21:01] <@arioch> might as well make laws on the effects cars have on insane people
[21:01] <@mewse> and its not even like somehow everquest is like "schizoid-friendly"
[21:01] <@mewse> "like" overflow
[21:01] <@arioch> error
[21:01] <@mewse> anyways
[21:01] <@arioch> fatal error in #doom, "like" overflow
[21:02] <@mewse> i bet this guy was a freak in everquest too
[21:02] <@arioch> give itamz bard
[21:02] <@mewse> just because you "escape" to "virtual reality" because you have issues doesnt mean people on the internet will accept you somehow
[21:03] <@Jon_R> heh
[21:03] <@mewse> if you dont understand people then you dont understand people, it doesnt matter where you're meeting them
[21:03] <@arioch> they don't? :(
[21:03] * Jon_R restains urge to make a joke
[21:03] <@arioch> yeah like, we're all in here
[21:03] <@arioch> or some shit
[21:03] <@arioch> heh
[21:03] <@arioch> well actually you all go out and booze up and stuff
[21:03] <@arioch> but I don't
[21:03] <@arioch> it's like
[21:03] <@Jon_R> I was gonna say like "hey we accepted YOU didn't we?"
[21:03] <@mewse> well i'm just saying he was probably a fuckup in everquest too
[21:04] <@Jon_R> but that would have been cruel and untrue anyway
[21:04] <@mewse> that hurts :~(
[21:04] <@Jon_R> cause mewse is like a big drunk
[21:04] <@Jon_R> with all his canadian friends
[21:04] <@mewse> my heart is bleeeeeeding
[21:04] <@Jon_R> if it had been a lamer I could have made that joke
[21:04] <@mewse> <sob>
[21:04] <@Jon_R> and it would have been heh
[21:04] <@mewse> anyways
[21:04] <@mewse> well i'm just saying he was probably a fuckup in everquest too
[21:05] <@Jon_R> yeah
[21:05] <@Jon_R> probably addicted to some reagent or something
[21:05] <@mewse> Parker said people who are isolated, prone to boredom, lonely or sexually anorexic are much more susceptible to becoming addicted to online games. Having low self-esteem or poor body image are also important factors, he said.
[21:05] <@Jon_R> got himself killed by overdosing on mandrake root
[21:05] <@mewse> what the motherfuck is sexual anorexia
[21:05] <@Jon_R> so his everquest friends sue the magic shop owner
[21:06] <@Jon_R> where you think you're too fat and sexy?
[21:06] <@mewse> is that where you dont have sex because you're afraid it will make you too sexy
[21:06] <@Jon_R> rofl
[21:06] <@mewse> like
[21:06] <@mewse> "i cant eat fat it will make me fat"
[21:06] <@Jon_R> "God look at me, I'm so disgustingly sexy!"
[21:06] <@mewse> "i cant have sex it will make me sexy"
[21:07] <@Jon_R> that'd be weird if having sex increased your sex appeal
[21:07] <@Jon_R> it'd be like a hyperbole or something
[21:07] <@Jon_R> the more sex you had the more sexy you'd be so the more sex you'd have
[21:07] <@Jon_R> mindfuck!
[21:08] <@mewse> Said player Vincent Frederico of Rochester, N.Y.: "It's almost like a drug. If you are not happy with your real life, you can always go in. . . . Someone who lacks social skills, they could find it much easier just to play the game instead of going out to a bar."
[21:08] <@mewse> THE INTARNET MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
[21:09] <@arioch> well let's see
[21:09] <@arioch> you can go insane and die
[21:09] <@arioch> have a seizure or something
[21:09] <@mewse> ITS LETTING LOSERS BE POPULAR AND THEY'RE KILLING THEMSELVES!@!!!!!!!!@!@!$!#
[21:09] <@arioch> OR you can get drunk and get into a car accident
[21:09] <@mewse> heh
[21:09] <@arioch> put it all into perspective
[21:09] <@mewse> yeah
[21:09] <@mewse> hahahahaha
[21:09] <@mewse> arioch isnt it sad what society considers normal
[21:09] <@mewse> HEY ASSHOLE
[21:09] <@arioch> just a bit
[21:09] <@mewse> GET OFF THE INTERNET AND INTO THE BAR
[21:10] <@Jon_R> "He could have been out getting fucked on alcohol!"
[21:10] <@mewse> LETS GET FUCKED AND DRIVE HOME
[21:10] <@Jon_R> what is the world coming to heh
[21:10] <@Jon_R> It weren't like this in my day
[21:10] <@mewse> some people enjoy getting pissed
[21:10] <@mewse> that doesnt mean its normal
[21:10] <@Jon_R> yeah, they're called British
[21:11] <@Jon_R> we're one of the most drunken countries in Europe I believe
[21:11] <@mewse> "I've seen a lot of wreckage because of EverQuest," Parker said. "But they are all the same. It's like cigarettes. They need to come with a warning label. 'Warning, extensive playing could be hazardous to your health.' "
[21:11] <@mewse> holy christ
[21:12] <@mewse> HOLY FUCKING CHRIST
[21:12] <@Jon_R> playing everquest gives you cancer
[21:12] <@mewse> "WARNING: SPENDING ALL OF YOUR TIME INSIDE PLAYING A FUCKING VIDEO GAME IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA"
[21:13] <@mewse> products shouldnt come with warning labels they should come with obnoxious older brothers who kick your ass when you act stupid
[21:13] <@Jon_R> guys like that Parker are just rent-a-quote media whores though
[21:13] <@Jon_R> doesn't really matter what crap they come out with
[21:14] <@Jon_R> unless a politician desparate for an issue for his re-election campaign happens to read the story

[22:31] <@arioch> i.e. level 55+
[22:38] <@aurikan> so uh
[22:38] <@aurikan> i enjoyed mewse's critique of that article
[22:38] <@aurikan> someone should save it for posterity's sake
[22:38] <@aurikan> did we ever decide what the fuck sexual anorexia was?
[22:39] <@arioch> nope
[22:40] < cmwu> search sexual anorexia
[22:40] < cmwu> duh
[22:40] <@aurikan> search sexual anorexia
[22:40] <@searchfor> sexual anorexia: http://www.sexhelp.com/what_is_sex_anorexia.cfm
[22:40] <@aurikan> wooh
[22:40] <@arioch> hahaha
[22:40] <@arioch> good ol' google
[22:40] <@aurikan> heh
[22:40] <@aurikan> interesting page
[22:41] <@aurikan> In this case, sex becomes a furtive enemy to be continually kept at bay, even at the price of annihilating a part of oneself.
[22:41] <@aurikan> i can't imagine avoiding sex can be all that hard
[22:41] <@aurikan> god knows it is hard enough to find in the first place
[22:42] <@arioch> yeah
[22:43] <@aurikan> The families of sexual anorexics may also present extreme patterns of behavior and thought
[22:43] <@aurikan> you know what that means
[22:44] <@aurikan> you may be a sexual anorexic if YOUR FAMILY IS WEIRD!
[22:47] <@aurikan> For those who suffer from sexual anorexia, technique and information are not remotely enough.  Help comes only through an intentional, planned effort to break the bonds of obsession that keep anorexics stuck.
[22:47] <@aurikan> haha
[22:47] <@aurikan> way to encourage prostitution!
