My mother was addicted to World of Warcraft

. My first years at school in the middle right until his death the month of my high school diploma, while playing for hours and hours of MMORPG and ruined what could have been a fairly normal home life and family to me.

My parents circa 1970-it I liked the role playing all my life. My older brother introduced me to them when I was only four or five years. The original culprit?

Final Fantasy II (IV)

in the Super Nintendo. I spent hours just looking at it slowly crushed by the elves of pixels angry red and yellow cream, which has little idea about the motives Cecil and why it no longer functions as the leader of the Red Wings. The substance behind stories like Cecil turned out to be the catalyst in my decision to terminate the existence of MMOs and their ilk.
Over the years, I developed my own tastes in video games, but largely remained faithful to the

Final Fantasy

Wild Arms . My brother discovered

Ultima Online in 1998. A few months later, my mother also. The same influence which had me involved in the Japanese RPG website that attracted my mother in a similar but more fervor in the West.

I did not know that this was the turning point of the commercial division and inevitable downward slope of Japanese RPG. Nature go anywhere-do-something games like
Ultima Online

Everquest

, and World of Warcraft offers the same sense of satisfaction grinding, looting of my favorite RPG games, but the mechanisms of a linear story, sympathetic characters, or sets of static and limited equipment.

My mother has gotten worse, quit his 13 years working as a maid beloved, sleep in my living room couch to keep my father, and the development of a caustic and unpredictable attitude towards his two son. I hate to compare my mother's personal problems of parents with alcohol or drugs, because they are often more sources of violence and physical abuse, but rarely or never physically hurt, the psychological effects of video game addiction can be used as durable and tragic.

had tears in my eyes, my mother was barking orders and chattering away in your room full smoke at the end of the house.

If you have ever lived with an abusive father, roommate wild and rugged, boring or even a pet, then you know something I did. You are locked in a house with a poison, which poison the staff of ecosystems that you can do little about it. You can complain, but nobody has a video game addiction seriously. In fact, my classmates thought it was funny. "Your mother plays WoW

? Duuuude Weird. "Yes, strange. The same man (see: Best of Friends) became addicted provisionally famous Blizzard themselves in the years that followed can leave, but only when his father, tired and compassionate to a fault, he feels he can mobilize the energy to go around after work, buy food and cook dinner for his motherless children every day. All weekend sleepovers with friends were common, although sometimes marked by sessions to try to push the aforementioned friends outside your WoW induced dreams.

Or you can make plans to go far. Plans like, "When I graduated, the first thing I do is leave."

The Haunting

My mother died of a brain aneurysm in May 2007, three weeks before my high school diploma. He was the calmest summer of my life

Final Fantasy XII was my jam today, but something about the game is not quite like me, compared to previous entries in the series: reminded me of an MMO. Very easy to navigate, a lot of freedom to explore and walk without limitation. I had never played an RPG to date West, after briefly depth
