February 5, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 5 commentsMy MMORPG days are now long over, but a few years ago, I used to spend several hours a day playing Dark Ages of Camelot. However, when my son was born, I just didn’t have the time to play anymore. Did you know that the more you spend time in those games, the more your brain becomes addled, and one day, MMORPG-speak starts invading your everyday life? Just check out this guy:
Ok, the guy is probably exaggerating for the purpose of the news report, but if he’s not, I predict that he’ll eventually get dumped by his hot reporter girlfriend… unless she is of the same specie that is!

However, when I got my first kid, I just didn’t have the time to play anymore
When you got your first kid? Was there a sale at the kid store?
The report just makes me angry at reporters.
And yeah, the guy is more than likely exaggerating.
It’s just a manner of speech that gets developed in any game. Names get shortened and so do words in general if it’s something people can grab into.
Let me get this straight… hot reporter girl dating unemployed gamer who sits on his ass at home all day?
The Bay Area must be hurtin’ bad for eligible bachelors!
His gamer-speak isn’t even that bad, he obviously faked it for the report. real gamers are more intense. The real vocab video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEWgs6YQR9A
I smell some bitterness since you were not able to play that much. Anyway, at least your paying attention to you kid that’s much important.
