Yeah, we already know that people from all walks of life do their best to part with at least some of their monetary resources, on a repeated basis, so that they may satisfy their hunger and feed their (sometimes hidden) gaming souls with the chicken soup that is the World of Warcraft. But you know what? Jaded as we are about "oh what? he's a gamer too?!" we still like finding out that unlikely people play the game.

You know why? It comforts us. It sort of makes us feel like we belong to a larger sub-culture. It makes us feel more connected. I'm not just a lone pimply, basement dwelling cartoon that says "f*ck", and "Holy crap! They killed Kenny!" every now and then on Television, I'm a Warcraft Player, and that makes me feel like I'm part of something bigger.

Here's the latest admission of gaming addiction from an unlikely source: John Giuffo admits in his article on Forbes that he is addicted to "devious little endorphin-stimulator that is available in retail stores." Yep, some business minded folks play the game too. And now that there's an article on Forbes, it's likely that a lot of folks with gray hair that aren't hippies are thinking about playing it too... or at least making money with the thing.

Of course, my whole social-connection spin on the first two paragraphs might just be a big load of bull... perhaps the situation is more primal and more base than I make it out to be, after all, Guiffo says it himself: "You make friends, and some of them might even be the girls they claim to be."
