This is an old video I had up on Googlevid, shot in 2006 at Techforum, hosted by the University of Advancing Technology in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm putting it up on Youtube for the sake of completeness. I was asked to give a presentation on a subject of my choosing, due to my position as the owner of WoW Radio, since they thought my input might interest the students at the UAT. The idea behind it was to give a light-hearted look at the subject of addiction in MMORPGs, as well as a look at the oft-ignored positive aspects of social online gaming. This was recorded a long time ago and the field of psychology in relation to videogames has advanced since then. Do not consider any of this information currently accurate, please read up on the current theories regarding gaming addiction.
