These guys run a great show, this is an off-beat episode.

It talks about several games but especially Everquest in relation to game compulsion/addiction... but to be honest, as I was watching, every time he said "Everquest" I just kept thinking "HELL YEAH EQ".

I played EQ during the classic era obsessively like he says and I turned out okay.
I know many others who did. It's not the game that's wrong, it's the user, EQ ftw.

Thoughts?
