Chronicle Does...Gamers?

Oh, the Chronicle, our arbiter of pop culture. How do we know something's cool? Why, we see it in the Arts section. (Which is now actually like a section with a big star on it? Hm.) What new and exciting phenomenon will they educate you on today? Breaking news: Young men play a newfangled video game called World of Warcraft. No offense, of course, is meant to the guest writer responsible for the well-written account of his "addiction", Jack Wehman, 17 and a senior at Clear Lake High. He plays when he should be doing dishes, when he should be doing homework....
...and he's one of 6.5 million people that "Warcrack" has claimed, worldwide. And it's making their girlfriends angry...one woman scorned in favor of the game has started a Facebook group.

"When he spends night after sleepless night "raiding" with his "guild" in "Molten Core"..."Blackwing Lair" or something called "Nax(sp?)"... enough's enough. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if a real, non-computer animated volcano erupted outside his window and lava was buring through his walls, he would keep raiding (until his computer was consumed by the magma)."

Otherwise, don't bother emailing us comments. We're too busy playing WoW.
