Depressing on multiple levels.

The last line had me and my wife fall over laughing.

The terrorists hate our freedom.

The best part for me was trying to make out the garbled parts and getting absolutely nowhere.

last 2 seconds made it a 5er

hooray for fucktards!

Although hearing a teenage kid cry over World of Warcraft is kind of depressing, the parents don't exactly seem like winners here.

this feels fake.
but hell let the kid play.
it's obvious he's not geared.

I keep hoping it's fake. Also, be careful listening to this with headphones on. Ow.

Absolutly not fake. This is every suburban fat kid and his ineffective parents.

Whiny, petulent brat refuses to stop playing game, argues with parents about their last ski trip, family plans revolve around his upcoming lacrosse game. It's like every negative stereotype of the white suburban upper-middle-class comes from THIS KID.

One million stars for making me feel less like the geek that I am (in comparison to my non geek pals). Whew.

The fact that I have watched this three times now means I am either really sleep deprived, or there is something wrong with me.

See, what I'm wondering is what exactly the kid did that prompted the change from family argument to the dad running down the stairs all "HOLY SHIT THIS IS IT!!!" and grabbing his kid.

I'm guessing it's real, but I'm going to be cautious that the part with the other teamspeak players is added on or faked.

What is the sound of the internet?

Minus the whininess, shouting, sobbing, and other bullshit I can recall having at least a couple, far more civil arguments on with my mom. Stupid lack of save points in classic 90s gaming.

Just imagine that you're playing some game like Final Fantasy for the first time, you've finally beaten some boss after umpteen attempts over the course of days, and then come the dreaded words "it's time for bed". Of course your mom doesn't know what a save point is and good luck explaining it beyond "the game won't let me stop playing yet", which of course sounds as suspect as this asshat who just wants to rebel through WoW. So now you're playing for your life because those games were fucking hard and all your options suck: turn off the game now and do it all over again from scratch; keep playing and probably get yelled at some more or have it taken away; or take longer than playing the game to try to thoroughly explain the concept of battery saves and it's implications on gaming and why you absolutely cannot shut it off, in addition to why you have no actual way of knowing how long it will be and cannot give an estimation of time to the exact minute.

Of course often times we'd just power off the tv and leave the game running to continue the next day. I suppose WoW doesn't allow you to do that.

It's so very real, and you know it.

I don't think I ever cried over a video game. Got mad for like a half-hour, but never cried. And my parents never had to physically restrain me from the computer. Small blessings, I guess.

"Oh shit" is right.

The ending is funny, but listening to that kid's parents talk about how his game is seperating the family is really disturbing and sad.

I'm not letting my children near a computer until they can build one themselves.

From scratch.

"It's what your'e reacting to it!"

This seems fake because I could never fathom crying over a fucking video game, much less WoW. Still, the last line makes this an easy five.

"don't you get it at all? You're only damaging yourself."

It's amazing that the other guys in the ventrilo channel were able to keep from laughing their asses off during the whole thing.

I just wish my parents had loved me that much...

It seems like kind of a production, but every word and childish sob of that sad sad argument is plausible.
