Kid busted by WoW-playing mommy

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft is the biggest MMORPG ever. So big, in fact, that everyone and his mother is playing it… literally.

It used to be that a boy could play his favorite game all night and mean old Mom would be none the wiser about it.

But when WoW’s so popular that Mom’s playing too, Junior runs the risk of getting busted. In the thread linked below, little boy Brion makes a rather innocent-sounding forum post at 3:30 AM. Trouble is, his mother notices because she reads that same forum. She responds:

”Pardon me for hijacking the thread, here.. But, Brion - if you don’t want your mother to know you were up and on the computer at 3:29 in the morning - DON’T post on a forum that she reads. Busted. Grounded.”

Sure, she could have just told him he was grounded when she saw him in the morning, but where’s the fun in that? Mommies feel the need to dish out occasional pwnage too. It’s so much more 2005 to run your family virtually anyway.

”Son, go fetch me a switch… from Burning Woods.”

Nice! =)
 
Nice, however, all of you should respect the games you play because your parents could be playing right beside you.


Hence, this community does have family members/relations that play the same games.
 
hah, thats pretty good. alrite I have a followup story:
So I was at work one day(best buy geek squad) and this old lady trudges up to the counter, probably 70's. I greet her and ask whats wrong?, as she scoots her computer in a cart up to the counter. She says "well, Ive had a lot of problems with my internet" I say "really, whats going on?" she continues "My games I like to play on the internet keep disconnecting and Its gotten so bad, I can't even play them anymore." So of course I ask "What internet do you have (careful not to use acronyms such as ISP which confuse elderly) and exactly when does your game crash?" She replys "Every time I walk out of town the server goes down and I get disconnected" Starring at her grey curly hairdo I slowly ask "what game?" to which she casualy replys "world of warcraft" I was trying not to laugh the rest of the conversation as I helped her. I wanted to ask her what level her character was, but I never did. I had no idea an old person would be interested in a game like that, I was thinking she was describing her online casino, or poker game that loaded her comp up with spyware or something... crazy times
