But when the media picked up the topic (addiction and stuff...) you sometimes get responses like "WoW... OOOOh the game that makes you play all the time, lose your job, abbandon your friends and robs you of all your life-time?!" And of course there are guys like in the OP vid that work on our reputation ;) Back when I started playing WoW it wasn’t all that famous and noone died while playing the game yet so… things were fine.

I live in the U.S. but I worked for a very large Japanese based fax film company for almost a decade I would never dare utter that i was a gamer or played D&D, that would mean instant dismissal, I met my now wife when she was DMing a Dragonlance game, she managed a Clothing store and had the same don't ask don't tell policy, we both got sick of hiding who we were and what we loved to do. I now work for a smaller marketing firm, and she is a paramedic,at 46 I am in bettre shape than most 22 year olds and even though my wife is 30 she still looks liek she is in her early 20's (so much for sterotypes..) and we now refuse to hide the fact that we love gaming, and if anyone has a problem with it they had better pack their lunch because they will be in for a long nasty fight.

I have played WoW for almost 5 years now. I started playing back when I was in highschool. I was captain of my basketball team, I sang in the school choir. And i was a hung gamer and was proud of it. I even had all of my best friends who were all jocks start playing as well. You find that when you have wow in common with even people you normally don't talk to, it opens new doors for new friendships. The people that make fun of us WoW players are the ones who don't understand. I even told my girlfriend that i play and she is actually about to start playing with my friends and I. So no I dont think i get teased. Like the guy above, I'm 6'6 and 220 so ya... i don't think so. But like some one said I were wear by "geek badge" with pride.
