I had a bud in college who ‘just’ played Diablo II when it came out. What do i mean ‘just?’ He was the number one ranked player in the world. He skipped classes, martial arts (one of my former training partners) and other things to just play Diablo.
So what happened after that? Well, he bought me to the casino, into the high roller section (he’s Jewish with money up the ass) and told me there was a glitch in the game. He watched in horror as his player was being killed by a NPC. Nothing could be done.
All in all, i got a free meal at the casino via high roller section buffet, while he was letting go of his diablo life.
Small tidbit, his ABC roomie just randomly told me he did blow. Only after i asked ‘why did you quit bjj?’ Never met anyone who did blow, let along admitting it. Hope hes clean now. Step one, admitting to a stranger that you do crack heh.
