"Jerry becomes this giant lizard...who likes to kill things!"
Hahahaha. That Jerry dude is a freakin' loser. You have a wife and kids, man. Give it up! Take a deep breath, and step AWAY from the computer. Your daughters are running amok, your wife is being driven insane, and you're a fat guy with a beard. Set your 'alarm clock' to wake yourself up to reality.
Oh, and stop playing with that maniacal, serial-killer gleam in your eye. You're giving everyone else a bad name.

Woolies mom was the best. "It was the damn game! The game killed him!"
Yeah, your shitty parenting and your son's emotional instability had nothing to do with it, huh?

Man, that's sad that guy took his life.
Even worse that his mother is placing blame on something she dosen't understand and may be trying to make some money on the side.
It was that damn game! Give me a fucking break.

He was having problems with a person called "I love you" in game. His mother told him that those you play with arent real people. Then he became depressed.
No fuckin wonder he shot himself.
Gee, guess Im not a real person.

I think the game has become more of a lifestyle choice than an addiction. Though I think that the lifestyle is more suited to those who don't have to worry about wife and kids and work. Keeping priorities straight is a big thing when you have responsibilities like a family and job. That guy couldn't stop playing even for the interview. I think Smedly was talking out his ass and giving the company answer though. People call it EverCrack for a reason. It will pass though. Hell, Magic used to be called Cardboard Cocain and now you almost never hear of it.

I agree with Winnow though I don't think Mangina is a main class. It is more like how you can divide Lesbians into Butch or Bitch, Mangina would be a subset of...Gamer?
Where not all lesbians are butch but all butch are lesbians. Not all gamers are mangina's but all mangina's are gamers. (using mangina in a strictly gaming sense and not a transvestite sense)
This is just a rough draft of the idea, feel free to adjust to something more accurate.

It's upsetting to find out that I am not a real person.
Hopefully that means the beer I go out to drink tonight won't have real calories! Oh and the rest of the bar food too
