    Funny how many Chinese people there are in that list... as for the Wowhore... thats just SAD. Maybe she just really needed to get laid.

    Some people are just predispositioned (spelling) to become addicted to something, Sex, Drugs, Adrenalin, Fast Cars, Shoes, WOW figurines, Video Games. I still think in the large scheme of things the amount of really "addicted" gamers in the general gaming population is a droplet in a very large, large bucket.

    The first girl would is just a prostitute with a different currency.

    Those people who played games for too long just have addictive personalities and if it wasn't gaming they would probably being doing something else to the extreme.

    Habbo hotel probably looks down on theft so it it just plain criminal activity as with the gang story.

    The Mir 3 guys is just a property dispute and nobody ever killed anyone else over a property dispute.

    The kid who killed his parents is just plain psycho.

    bad parenting and psychological issues aside the last guy is the only one who did something that was promoted in the game he played and in his screwed up psyche he probably didn't see anything wrong with doing what he did.

    I cant imagine having such a break with reality. I mean we are all thought, from a very young age, what is real and what is not. Imagine if every person in the world went about acting out their fantasies... Like you said, Bad Parenting and some serious mental issues.
