Better than your grammar at least!
It's pretty sad to see that people can get so engrossed in games that they don't pay attention to their own kids though. I mean, there's a difference between being engrossed and not actually washing, feeding or changing your children

My guess is Star Wars Galaxies, my brother and his GF are addicted, they live together but they talk more in-game then they do normally.

World of Warcraft. They probably sit mining and questing 16 hours a day to sell gold to rich kids for £40 a week.

It looks good and I would like to play but I can't afford to let a game take over my life again.

Re: Internet gaming parents goto jail
The question in my mind is how did they find the time to have children in the first place?
