A simple day, an ordinary night. The warm glow of the PC monitor permeates the dark room. Sounds of ancient Qeynos echo off the eggshell white walls as an average guy sits down to enjoy an escape into the world of Everquest 2. All was fine until the unspeakable happened. A group of Gnolls, while under attack, call for Re-enforcements. Before he knew it, our hapless hero was swamped. Over-run and over Stressed, that’s when it happened…..
Roric: There’s Too Many of them!
Shippero: This is it, Game over Game Over!
Opiee: We can take it, Hold the Line HOLD THE LINE!!!
***Gnoll Battler has killed Shippero***
Roric: they Got Ship, I canna hold it Together, Were breaking apart worse than Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt!
Opiee: Stay on target, Stay on Target!
***Gnoll Tormentor has killed Roric***
Opiee Sprints
***Gnoll Elder has pwned Opiee***
Meanwhile back in real life, the unspeakable happens:
Steve: GAWD D%@&^ YOU ^@(@! (&%(#, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, I SWEAR TO *#(& GAWD I WILL ^%#* KILL YOU!
Gamer’s Tourettes takes over. It can strike when you least expect it. When this happens, the victim becomes lost in a myriad of obscenities that would make even a seasoned sailor blush.
Sadly there is no known cure for gamer’s tourettes. Treatment has included; stepping away from the game, venturing out into the large blue celinged room with poor temperature control, socializing with people without having to use smilies to express oneself.
With Treatment, hopefully, one day, we might be able to control gamer’s tourettes. If you or someone you know suffers from gamer’s tourettes, please, do the right thing.
