I don't see no dad in the picture which is probably why he's doing what he wants.

What's wrong with parents these days? Have you parents ever thought to maybe stop ignoring them, sitting down with them and hitting them?

Well considering roughly half of marriges in Australia end in divorce that wouldn't suprise me much at all. The kid has serious problems and WoW is his outlet like the majority of people who play the game. Spose it's better than him committing criminal acts in a gang or something more sinister.

That kid got rid of all of his friends after telling them "if you want to act liek dickheads,you will be treaded as dickheads".

Now he only speaks to the 500 members of his guild who never fight.

I also find it very annoying that this little fucktard feels it necessary to speak in an american accent when online.This happens a fuck of a lot among the younger aussie members of LIVE.

Apparently its very cool to have an american accent when you're on the intertron.

Hey MUM,remove his web access,uninstall the game and stop paying for his Blizz membership you lazy sexless burnt out pubslut.

Spend the money on getting your son a root.

The reporter mentioned something about the kid spending some of the money he "receives" on WoW, so by "receiving" money and not working, i'm assuming government assistance (probably claiming to be a job seeker).

He's probably getting Youth Allowance if his dad has split.

No wait, you have to be a student for that.

child support?

lestat · Post by **lestat** » 04 Oct 2006 09:03 am

I be fair to the mum, the kid was punching holes in the wall, in all the years of gaming I've done, i have never done that over a game. How many single mums do you know that can control a violence prone teenager with an addiction problem?

I would say like most parents dealing with addict children it's not easy, you could just throw them out on the street but some parents can't bring themselves to do that and it may not solve the problem only make it worse. I guess the problem is most parents don't seek out professional help, i think this woman was crying out for some professional help. She probably has no idea how to stop this. I guess these sort of addictions are so new that probably even professionals don't have any idea of how to really break the habit.

Hopefully aca do the right thing and help her son out.

I've never understood how you can keep on playing when a game is no longer enjoyable, and throwing keyboards around the place and punching holes through walls certainly indicates me me he's not enjoying himself.

The moment a game starts to annoy me I quit and do something else for a while.

My favourite part was where they were all 'Theres even online chat rooms dedicated to addicts!'

Chat rooms, for video games, online? No wai!!

jahooley · Post by **jahooley** » 04 Oct 2006 10:08 am

Agreed. Well said.

Didnt you guys watch 'Frontline' the ACA ripoff done by Rob Sitch etc?

They dont care about the plebs that they put on the show. As soon as the camera stops filming - seeya later! We have an important weight loss fad to do a story on

Seraph · Post by **Seraph** » 04 Oct 2006 02:10 pm

Does anyone remember the way ACA was 10 years ago, when they'd have prominent politicians, businessmen and public figures on the show, regularly, to tackle serious subjects?

It's sad to see that ACA has become such lowest-common-denominator (the other LCD) bullshit.

Edit: actually, it was more like 15 years ago, but you get the idea.

pubba · Post by **pubba** » 04 Oct 2006 02:17 pm

I blame 'Today Tonight'

jizzlobber · Post by **jizzlobber** » 04 Oct 2006 02:17 pm

I saw this lady on the show the other week, her son suffered from some mental illness I can't remember the name of... she was saying how she wants to kill herself and her son.

I thought it was so stupid, yeah it would be hard on her but why call ACA and tell them about it?
I can't believe they even did the story.

pubba · Post by **pubba** » 04 Oct 2006 02:23 pm

LCD

If you guys havent seen 'FRONTLINE' - check it out. Its some of the funniest Aussie TV comedy ever
