The commonly held comversation in a World of Warcraft playing household:

Woman: Come to bed honey, I'm feeling naughty
Man: Babe can you come on the computer, I need a healer for this raid
Woman: Didn't you hear me?
Man: If you heal us good I'll take you back to my custom love zone when were done
Woman: Ooh that sounds kinky
Man: It's inside orgrimmar, I got it near the kodohide leatherworks
Woman: What...?
Man: I'll undress you and plant kisses on your green leathery skin
Woman: Thats going too far..
Man: Then I'll play my flute of sorrows to make you horny
Woman: Were getting a divorce
Man: And finally I'll fuck you with my giant tauren cock until I moo in extasy

A computer game with over 9 million players world wide. It's just a fuckin game and anyone who calls WoW players nerds is a wanker.

Some people get addicted, some don't.
You know you play World of Warcraft too much when you eat at the same time as your character

A game that manages by some divine power to completely waste your life and lets you have fun while doing so.
"I'm $50,000 into debt because of all the gold I bought off of ige.com, and I have to pay child support for my wife who divorced me, but I'm happy, because I have a Level 50 Palladin and can gank all the noobs I want."

A game developed by Blizzard entertainment. Contrary to popular belief, it is not that addictive. Unless you are very shy or you have LOTS of time to kill and spend most of it playing World of Warcraft. AND IT DOESN'T CAUSE FATNESS, ACNE AND STUFF LIKE THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU PLAY IT.
(If you are a WoW player, im sure most of the posts here insulting WoW and its players ate CoD: MW2 fan boys. ignore them.) Again, unlike popular belief, many WoW players have a wife, family, friends, in good fitness, and jobs. Its just that fanboys of other games probably just want to make fun of something because they are bored, or like insulting people who have a real life. Unlike them.
A friend of mine in my guild became a parent 2 months ago, and even sent us pictures of the baby. Most people only play WoW during their free time.
Fanboy: YEA ALL OF U WORLD OF WARCRAFT FAGS CAN NOW CURRENTLY STOP LIVING IN YA MOMS BASEMENT. GET A LIFE, A GIRLFRIEND, A FAMILY OF YOUR OWN AND A LIFE NOW.
AND THE START PLAYING SOME (fanboy plagued game here), FAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGZZZZZZZZ.

WoW player: Dude. Seriously. WTF.
most WoW players do have a life, you know. I only play this game during my freetime, while im not working as a paramedic. Me and my wife currently do lead a happy life, and she is 4 months pregnant with our first baby.

Fanboy: YEAAAAAA STOP LYING FAG. GO GET A LIFE. STOP LIVING IN YOUR MOMS BASEMENT. I GOTZ A LIFE, LIKE YOU. AND I GOT A JOB AT MCDONALDS, NOT LIKE YOU.

WoW player: You know what? Im tired of trying to show fanboys how WoW players actually have a life. See ya.

A game that is played by a ton of people all over the world, but is often subjected to stereotypes saying WoW players are nerdy fatsos with no life, but in reality (like me) are nice people with lots of friends and have a family, it only costs $14 a month which is very cheap if you have even a job at mcdonalds or something.
non player: Hey you fat nerd stop talking to those cool people and get over here so i can beat you up!

Wow player: those are my friends douchebag!

*beats up douchebag*

world of warcraft player: how do you like that?
