World Of Warcraft Addiction On Tyra Banks Show
Autumn has a dilemma. Her husband Shawn is a World of Warcraft addict and this had turned her life upside down. The Tyra Banks Show: tough Love With Dr. Garry peers into the lives of this previously loving couple and looks at how addiction to videogames could actually ruin one’s relationship. Autumn stressed out how Shawn had even chose to play World Of Warcraft when she was in labour with their first child. Was it the seduction of the game or Autumn’s weight gain that had Shawn caring less about her? Tyra Banks and Dr Gary tries to find out and help solve their rocky relationship. 2 videoclips after the jump.

See it doesnt matter if its a game or not, OR IF ITS REALL, wtf difference does it make if its another human being he is having fun with or a computer game, as long as you enjoy it…
Plus WoW is an online rpg which means you get to talk with millions of people while playing, THATS REAL!
Clearly missing his child’s birth and all is problematic, but don’t blame the game, it is just that in this world you can find mentally challenged people that can’t make a difference between priorities.
Too many people play WoW, do they all end up having no social/love life? no.
Ive met some of the coolest people on WoW, have played with irl friends, and it all turned out great!
ps: gotta get BC T_T
BloodTide said
January 30, 2007 @ 8:36 pm
Well first off he didnt miss the birth… he played for 3 hours of her labor… which was pretty effed up… Ive played WoW for bout 2 years… and yeah it can be quite adicting… but Ive quit in the past and went back later… so its not that hard… but as far as that whole scene they put on there… it was quite useless… youd think they would have done a little research before going through all that… maybe have him delete it off his hard drive… and shut down his account…. but no… well just rip up some CD’s that’ll show em…… just a waste of air time… they got nothing done there…

The entire show sounded like it was scripted out of someone’s anxiety and ignorance towards the game.
“I’ve heard stories and been in relationships where, you know, I’m being ignored because he’s running out with his friends or doing things with human beings, but he’s doing this with a video game, something that’s just a computer.”
Shows how they twist it knowing nothing about it. WoW is played with friends, with human beings. Not with just a computer. Period. Agreed though, that people who miss out real life by that much, such as not being there when in labor or near it, do have a big problem and need to get a hold of themselves.

i know the guy was being a loser for what he did, but heck the game is not the problem… he has more issues than just the game. WOW was just a means of his escape… even if his account gets cancelled, i bet it’ll be sumthin else!
WOW ROCKS!!! the show sucked!

Wait, I’m trying to figure this out…. Are a bunch of profession gamer Wow freaks criticizing a chick for being very slightly overweight, after having given a birth?
omfg I’m going to assume you WoW addicts are all fit and well built from now on then! I mean, pretending you’re an Elf on the Internet is like, equivalent to going to the gym five days a week, am I right?
Thanks guys, I was looking for a self-delusional superiority complex, and I think now I’ve found one: I’m a WoW fan.

All i have to say. I used to be an ex WOW addict. I used to play 12-16 hours a day. for a period of almost 2 years. All i can say, STOP playing this game because its way too much grinding and it becomes an obsession… when you spend real money for pixels… thats where you have to seriously stop and think about what youre doing. The only people who are really getting something out of this game are the chinese farmers and the game producers from your 15$/monthly… Think about it!

Ok … first of all. Yes this guy was a loser for missing the birth of his own child regardless of how much of a loser his wife is. … not to mention how stupid she is. If she “cared” … she would maybe do some research and dig into his obsession. If she “cared” she would figure out this “game” and then take REAL action. Like… lets see, Delete his characters. … its simple, select the character from the character screen, Select [Delete] Type in DELETE. hit ok. Repeat for all characters. … if you are so inclined to find some worth in this, change his password, you can do that from the account management screen. Then EBAY his account information.
Now the other side of the story… Some say you get nothing from the game. Wrong. You get enjoyment, you get friendship, you get respect from your peers(by that i mean other wow players who respect how well you can perform), you learn team management, you also learn to balance personal issues, which this guy happens to fail at. Do not insult this “game”, its MUCH more involved than you think. Guilds can be like well run businesses. It can teach a person a lot of skills that they will be able to use in “real life”.
Somone said you get nothing from the game, Well you get nothing from TV… and people watch crap like this show… every single day. AND THEY FEEL JUSTIFIED in their TV habits. They feel like they are taking in something thats dreadfully important. … You pay your $80+ a month for your silly cable shows. You watch the View… and the Rosie show… and the price is right, and … bah… TV is the devil and you TV wives watch more than we play. … The point is … entertainment is entertainment. As long as its done in a responsible way its fine. We all have hobbies. … Its simple, take care of yourself and your own, and you can do what you want with your spare time. Thats the issue here, NOT WoW. And dont you EVER say it is. Its just slanderous. The game IS NOT THE ISSUE. … period.

Oh and she IS a fat cow… i mean Tauren.
And no all gamers arent washboard stomached body builders.
But they arent all overweight, diabetic, pizza faced losers either.
Generalizing wont help back up your slander of Warcraft.
Seriously… gals… if you have a problem with your guys hobbies.
Talk to him about it. Learn about it (seriously, dont just browse the site and be done, learn this stuff, its his stuff. You would expect no less from him) Express your issues with it.
Compromise with him. He wont give up the stuff he loves easily, and that includes you, AND the world he has come to love. Try to be a part of that world for him, and ask that he takes part in your lives more actively, express how much you NEED him to be there for you. But remember its a balance, take away his hobbies and he will degrade into a miserable person, he might even begin to hate his life, and possibly even you if you take the all or nothing approach. Balance is important. Communication is important. Understanding is important from both ends. If you care about each other, for gods sake take the time to care about each other instead of just expecting things from each other. its about teamwork… work together or stop being together.
BE there for your children, and your wife, guys. Dont give our past-times a bad name, these fools dont need more ammo against us gamers. … Wives… please try to play with your man. Or at least accept his hobby as something he truly enjoys. Dont devalue his loves… those loves include you.
Nova said
February 2, 2007 @ 10:19 am
Think Xar has it on a lot his points. If you can’t appreciate his hobby, why should he appreciate yours? Why should you be the one to get everything YOUR way. It’s all about balance, life is balance, the world is balance. If there was no balance in this world.. do I even need to continue? You can’t have good without the bad, it’s all perspective. This girl instantly came across to me as the naggy, never interested in what you’re doing type of person. Think he got too serious with the wrong girl.
Anyways, peace.

First, he did not miss the birth, he was just away for 3 hrs of the labor, he made is back before the birth.
Second, everyone loves to generalize and stereotype, when you do, you just look ignorant.
Third, yes, WoW is real, it may be artifical, but it still exists.
Forth, Tyre is a typical ignorant woman who knows nothing about video games and simply generalizes about the people who play them.
Fifth, maybe he sleeps on the couch because she has put on weight. Yes, most men do care about the physical appearance of their women when it comes to sexual attraction. She put on weight, and does not look like how she used to, see changed, so it’s possible his feelings have changed as well. You can judge him all you want, but you know what? Your opinion is just an opinion and doesn’t mean a thing.
Men and women think and behave differently. Women who expect men to behave like women are the ones with the problem. The couples I know where the women lets her man act like a man have great relationships, the ones where the women tried to change him and make him act and think like a woman, well, they are no longer together.
Once women finally get it in their heads that men will never be women, then maybe we will all get along.
One last thing, maybe if she would take some responsiblility to lose the weight she gained, he would have a reason to spend more time with her, and share their bed again. I’ts not always the mans fault, no matter what women think. I am so sick and tired of the belief in the American society that men are dumb and immature and women are smarter and should be in charge. I blame TV for that.
Tara said
February 14, 2007 @ 9:16 am
Richard, lets get real. The American society does not view men as dumb and immature and women as smart and in charge. In fact, it’s probably the other way around. Your words are just as ignorant towards women as you claim that women are ignorant. Being the women that I am i find your comment offense and stereotypical. But thats beside the point.
Another thing i would like to bring to peoples attention is that women play WoW, too. No one has yet to mention that. Its all let HIM play and let HIM do as he wishes. I enjoy the game and I’m a women. This is not a mans only game.
I think Xar is completely on target when it comes to balance. Relationships are about giving and taking. Shawn and Autumn have some real communication issues which she is blaming on WoW. I don’t think this is the real issue at hand. I think Tyra could have gone about the situation in a lot better way. You can’t blame a game for all your problems…end of story.
My fiance and I enjoy playing and our relationship isn’t rocky. The game is not some evil force to be destroyed.

THEIR BABY – Is in a sad, sad predicament. And should be helped by Social Security. Cause I know what the baby’s life is gonna be like, once it grows up; Dad playing WoW and manipulative and fat cow mom bitching to it while she eats bon bons.
HE should at least be there for the kid, but as for being for HER…well, I really don’t care.

It wasn’t that hard to give it up, the only question you have to ask yourself is what is more important the game being a large part of your life or not, get help while you can from your friends and family.
And if not, good luck with your online adventure.

February 2, 2008 @ 3:45 am
I don’t think that some of the people who have posted realize this is a life situation. Calling a woman a fat b*** is so immature and ridiculous. My husband plays WoW, sometimes I have a problems with it too, but we try to work it out. I think it was great that Tyra had this on the show, it’s a real life situation that’s in alot of different homes all around the world. Dealing with the situation in the way of shredding a CD did nothing. I think that couple needs counseling and to really get priorities straight in their lives, both the woman and the man. I can respect that someone might like something and enjoy playing games, it’s not something I understand or can relate to but not everyone can relate to my hobby of music.
As a person I you have to realize that life brings you responsibilities and you have to take them if you choose them. Having a kid and a wife is a responsibility, they should be a man’s top priority in life. Man was made to fulfill a life as a provider, not an addicted person who is selfish and only wants to do what he wants in life. Woman have to respect that men need their own time to do things too, it can’t be just all about them, and I think that that issue is makes a vicious circle in todays society. Women are beings who desire attention and love from their spouses. We don’t always realize that men need more alone time. Therefore a wife may get too clingy and wants to spend as much time together as possible with her husband- and anything that gets in the way may be seen as a threat to that. As that happens husbands and get deeply involved with things like WoW or Halo 3, and then the wife needs more attention, and then the men get more involved. Basically thats the way I see this happening (even in my own life at times) and causing situations like the one seen in this episode.
I think that if you can’t be mature enough to take on responsibilities and give away selfishness and have childish attitudes towards real life situations, you shouldn’t be posting comments insulting and humiliating situations that are in people’s lives.

This is really sad. I am sad to see so many young men (and by your replies I would guess you are REAL young) that can’t prioritize their lives. Regardless of the situation with the delivery and shredding cds that was seen on Tyra…not even taking that into consideration… if you spend so many hours on anything each day, whether it be fishing, gaming, or sleeping, you have serious issues. I don’t care what kind of “respect” you think you are getting. What do you have to show in the end? What did you accomplish in your life?

I will say tearing up those cd’s was indeed epic fail. Tyra skanks needs to start doing shows like morey pobitch about teen out of controll girls and prego tests. But yeah, I play wow constantly… about 7 hours a day. Im also in a band, I do flash animations, and I do webdesign http://www.hoov3r.net

I am a mother of 2 beautiful children and my husband is a lazy ass who plays that game 16 hours a day. Too lazy to work, or do anything but play that game. Neglects and ignores his family.
Don’t you sit there and say that this is right and cheer him on. I don’t mind him playing a game but this is going way overboard.
All these comments you guys are making on here…. well all I have to say is that you are a bunch of heartless morons who really needs to grow up and get a life! SERIOUSLY!

WOW should be banned,or monitored for only 3 hours use. True story folks: My grandchild called last night all upset and crying. Why,you ask? Because mom and dad had not fed them dinner and it was late. See mom and dad could not fix dinner because they were on a quest on WOW. My grandchild comment was,” mom and dad ignore us,I wish I could smash thier computers.” Mom and dad have not bothered to buy groceries in two weeks,or clean the childrens room,or wash clothes. Once upon a time before WOW they we’re good parents. It is to late for the oldest child. For the rest of his life he will remember how mom and dad ignored him,did not cook dinner,paid for WOW and not school supplies. No matter what I say,nothing matters,they don’t want to hear it. My only option left is to legally take the children away. Then they can have thier WOW life and the children can have a normal life.

Well i have been married for almost 20 yrs and my soo to be ex husband is a video game looser. He got our son involved in w.o.w . And my youngest son Zachary and Zac loves to open a guild and take peoples money for the guild and then keep the money close the guild and join another guild and to the repeat process again and again and now he isnt online like the rest of the men in my family .My husband goes to work he is a foreman and when he comes home he likes to play his w.o.w and when he plays it he wants silence he doesn’t help me parent the kids my oldest you need a crowbar to pry him off the comp to get him to do any chores and then you have his father who will yell at me instead of his son correcting his son for inaprorpiate behavior towards his mother i cant get his son to do anything but argue with me over that game the least little thing . And then you have his father telling me it’s either he play’s w.o.w or he would be a alchoholic.. it has gotten so bad with this man i am divorcing him and im going to have it brought up in a dviorce hearing this guy dont even want to throw the ball to his youngest child we have a pool he doesnt want to go swimming all three of them are over weight they need excersize and this man just sits there and plays his stupid game this game causes fights arguments neglect im about ready to pack my stuff and my youngest stuff move into a freinds home and start divorce proceedings.

I’m surprised that ditz even knows what a computer is. Well Tyra has been showing us exactly what is wrong with the couples of this world: the fucking housewives who pride themselves on bringing their private issues to the publics eyes and getting plenty of sympathy to fill the void in their crappy lives. I’m sorry but this seems like some propaganda to undermine men and those who have lives outside their marriages. Not only that but it makes WoW players feel like crap. Well Tyra let’s put down that powdery shit you put on your ugly face or those low cut dresses that don’t suit your age and see how you react.
P.S. Jeanie, maybe your grandchildren should play some WoW with their parents instead of being such snobs.

Weight gain goes along with keeping the unborn child healthy inside of you and if you have an idiot for a husband like that, yes, it would be hard to lose weight after having a child. Stress and no time for yourself to exercize because idiot is on the computer 24/7 and cannot help take care of a child that he helped make. When you marry someone, you marry them for who they are. I admit some people do have to be physically attracted to the person but stop being an idiot for at least ONE second. Everyone KNOWS that people’s appearances change as they get older. You take the chance of your HUBBY or WIFE gaining weight, getting wrinkly, etc. Understandable that she gained weight after having baby and maybe he isn’t so attracted to her anymore but did you ever stop to think that maybe she isn’t attracted to him anymore either since he became Nerd King of WoW? I wouldn’t be attracted to anyone that sat on their smelly ass for 16hrs-24hrs straight playing a computer game either. Spend some fucking time with your family.
He needs to be a husband and father. Not an idiot. You can play video games and shit like that before you get married and have a family. Grow the fuck up. And I assure you that you will regret all of the time lost with your child once you realize what you’ve done. And if not, you don’t deserve her or your child.
Fuck you all that play WoW, little dick bitches.

All you people telling us gamer’s your sob stories…
Newsflash! The problem isn’t the game. It’s your loved ones. Not all us gamers spend a bazillion hours playing the game. Many of us have productive, happy lives with family, friends, etc., outside our games. The people you’re posting about? Yeah, their problem runs far deeper than just a computer game. That problem might even be -you-, Angry Wife/Husband. But it’s so much easier to blame a game than take a look at the bigger picture, isn’t it?
I do feel bad for the kids trapped in this mess though, because I doubt mom or dad’s video game addiction is the biggest concern their family has. Dumbass parents are always full of fail.

I left my husband over this game. We are still trying to sort it out. The problem is the game as much as the problem is the alcohol when someone is addicted to alcohol. Yes, some people can handle it and not drink so much, but some people can’t. And the addiction does affect other people.
I am neither fat nor ugly and neither is my husband. He did attend the birth of our child. But we have been separated a long time now. I did play the game with him – I played it for 2 years. I did not get sick of it – in fact I have missed it a bit since leaving him. I will never go back to it though. My husband no longer has a job. He has a lot of level 70 characters though. I do not think it would have shown him any respect to delete his characters and it would not have helped – he would have made more. He has to make the decision himself to give it up. And when he does and when we have done a lot of work, I hope we will be back together again. He’s not a bad guy, but he is addicted to a fantasy world.

Really I am truly amazed at the ignorant answers on this post. A few of you out there get it and will have happy lives. Relationships are all about communication you can take the wow in wow addiction and replace it with anything from drinking to infidelity. The problem is still there but I guess for this blameless society that we live in now a day’s it’s easier to blame a video game than to accept that the person doesn’t care or having issues that you refuse to see the clues. I am a heavy player of wow and I also have a great social life like said a few times in this post its all about balance. I could write forever on this crap but I am not going to. Some people understand and others will never be able to. If you can’t communicate then is the relationship really worth it. Azhi, Liisa, Joopey, Tara, and Xar want to give props for intelligent answers. The rest of you haters who hate what you don’t understand will be the ones that keep racisms, sexism, and religious bigotry in common practice for the years to come.

Some of the comments here just make the authors look bad. This goes for both the WoW players AND the WoW detractors.
That is all.

World of Warcraft is VERY addictive and so are alot of MMO’s. It’s worse the more you play and overall not healthy for your mind and body. When you are focused on these tasks in the game, you feel like you are accomplishing something but really you aren’t. It’s trickery. Meanwhile, you are getting carpel tunnel, time flashing by, addicted.
There is hope. I am officially over this stupid game. Here is how you get rid of it.
First, cancel your account.
Second, sell everything or give it to others.
If you don’t want to sell then you can skip that because the third part is crucial.
Third, uninstall the game.
Uninstallment is the most important step because it takes days sometimes just for it to install again with all of the updates.
If you find yourself really installing for days but you know you are addicted then what you do is wait for it to fully upgrade and then, uninstall it again.
Anything can be addictive and games like this can be too but it’s trickery on the brain. You are really accomplishing nothing by sitting in a chair all day. There are people around you that care about you. Pixels don’t.
