We went to BlizzCon back in August, and met a lot of people who are obviously huge fans of (supposedly addictive) games like World of Warcraft and Starcraft. We wanted to know the answers to a few simple questions: how do you know if you’re addicted to a video game? What are the signs? Is there any light at the end of the tunnel, when your hands have cramped beyond recognition and your friends have stopped bothering to call? As a Warcraft fan, this episode really hit home.
