This guy is suing WoW... for making you walk from place to place in the world of the game. Gosh, why can't Blizzard just sell a game that beats itself???
Doesn't Erik Estavillo know that all of Blizzard's lawyers are Paladins?
They simply have to cast Righteous Defense and Judgment of Justice at the trial. The defense team bubble-hearths and then it's back to work arbitrating hostile working environment cases brought by Scarlet Trainees.
@Meangirl.is.for.the.Horde: If they're paladins they should just hammer of justice Estavillo. There is nothing more delightful than casting a big hammer out of the sky onto someone's head when they're annoying you ;)
I had no idea that Anderson Cooper is gay. Gawd I am behind the times. *sigh* I wonder if this lends more or less credence to my theory that he's actually Final Fantasy VII villain Sephiroth.
Okay, I'm SO confused by this Erik Estavillo guy and his lawsuit, because while I have no doubt in my mind that one can be addicted to WoW, just as one can be addicted to alcohol, drugs, sex, love, etc., I fail to see, how and why Martin Lee Gore and Winona Ryder would be able to testify on Internet gaming addiction...
In fact I think it's really sad (in lack of a better word) that *this* is the lawsuit that makes its way to the courtroom and the media because this is truly an addiction, and not just some slightly disturbed guy with a random lawsuit.
So you can subpoena random celebrities to testify in your frivolous court cases? I'm honestly impressed that more of the crazy stalkers out there haven't done this as a chance to meet their idols.
@AfroJezeBella: I read it as a teenager and hated it. Funnily enough, I read it in my late 20s and really loved it. But I can still see how someone would totally hate it.
Also Erik, I'd like to sue the Legend of Zelda franchise for giving me emotional problems when I couldn't beat the game. I subpeona... the cast of "I Love the *era*." It'll be the funniest trial ever.
I would have shushed Katie Holmes. I would have actually told her to shut up and encouraged others to tell her too. I'm good at stirring shit and encouraging rebellion in others. Why did no one asked her to stop? Were they afraid of Xenu? Did they fear that Tom Cruise would come out of nowhere and jump on their seats over and over?
@Casquivana: I glare at people, and they shut up. My most famous glare was during Magnolia a lady was trying to open a cereal bar (that annoyed me more) and kept making noise. I turned, stared hard, then turned back to continue crying without the stupid noise.
@Casquivana: I know Katie's having problems and all, but there is no excuse for movie talkers. Are you onscreen? No? Then no one paid $10 to listen to what you have to say.
@Casquivana: I would have for any movie but New Moon. I feel like a shushing from me at New Moon would be disingenuous since I laughed so hard at Twilight, the girls behind me got up and moved.
Once a friend dished out a "Seriously?!" at a guy who answered his phone during Hotel Rwanda. The guy actually argued back.
@Ailatan: I once witnessed how a hilariously neurotic dude stood up to go shush and reprimand a teenager who was chewing with his mouth open and whose cell phone kept ringing during the screening of some artsy film. Nobody dared to move again until the film ended; apparently, no one wanted to get on the bad side of neurotic movie-goer, who was giving death glares left, right and center.
@Ailatan: And I'm a glarer, but not a very efficient one, since I apparently look like an anime character and fail miserably when I try to look menacing. I need you to go to the movies with me to glare at people and make them shut up.
@Casquivana: @Ailatan: The effects were good but the acting was abysmal. And I love me some Cusack. Luckily I had low expectations and laughed harder than if it were a comedy.
@Ailatan: I went to see Schindler's List in the theatre when I was a kid, and this guy sat beside my friend and I loudly crunching on popcorn, fiddling with candy bar wrappers and slurping pop for the entire movie. My best friend and I were appalled and kept glaring at him, but he remained oblivious. I mean, if twelve year old girls at a theatre think your behaviour is outrageous, you're probably in trouble.
@Ailatan: I was with my husband at a movie, and the 2 teenager girls sitting beside him were geing all giggly. I leaned forward and gave them The Look. They hushed, and my husband whispered to me "You just morphed into your Teacher Self right in front of me. Wow..."
@Ailatan: There are these two girls in my second semester organic chemistry class that whisper all through class and will not. Respond. To. The glare. I want to throw things at them and no matter where I sit they follow. I think they might be being paid to do so by an enemy.
@vulcanized: I rarely see movies in the theater any more so I don't have a story about that, but I did once run a race behind a guy who stopped in the middle of the course to take a phone call on his cell phone. My husband, bless his heart, yelled, "That's the spirit!" as we ran past.
@Casquivana: On behalf of the pathological peacemakers of the world (like myself), I say, thank you. I am always happy when I see someone do and say the things I am too cowardly to do myself.
@Snowbunny: I would seriously get to the point where I'd be raising my hand and saying, "I'm sorry, professor, but I CAN'T HEAR YOU because people are TALKING." See if publicly shaming them would work!
@yearofthewoman: Maybe she's one of the crazy pants teenagers you see on television who ruin older men's lives with their budding sexuality and fully developed manipulation skills.
Wow, television is sexist. Now that I articulate that story line it is so disgusting to me.
How old was the guy again? Why would she lie to the police? To get him arrested? That's still creepy to have a random 40-yr old dude kiss you on the neck.

I think he needs help, and not just with his addiction to videogames.
