World Of Warcraft ‘more addictive than crack cocaine’ as teenager suffers convulsions after 24-hour-long game

Is the title of a article I read over at the daily mail website.

According to the Sweden’s Youth Care Foundation World of Warcraft is

the most dangerous game on the market

The warning comes after a Swedish boy of 15 collapsed after playing it for for 24 hours earlier this month.

Hospital doctors diagnosed an epileptic-type seizure brought on by sleep deprivation, lack of food, and too long a stretch of concentrated game playing. He has made a full recovery.

I can totally understand where these people are coming from. I played World of Warcraft for 2 years on and off, and I spent a ridiculous amount of both time and money on it.
I’ve not played for a few months now, and every time I stopped playing before I always started playing again when some new feature arrives or an expansion comes out.
I was always hesitant to uninstall the game from my PC, because of the huge amount of time it takes to install and patch again.
This time I uninstalled it completely, so I could reclaim the hard drive space it was taking up. 12+gig is a lot of space.

In a slightly less addictive, but no less fun turn of events I’d like to share this video of “LittleBigContra” a level created for LittleBigPlanet for the PS3.

I’m going to get on playing though these levels now!
