Hooked Up: Living in the World of Warcraft Documentary

Addictions come in many forms. In the summer of 2008, Sworup Ranjit got hooked up to the game World of Warcraft. For him, life stopped as he retreated into the virtual world. This video focuses on his life.

All footage in this video is from Canon 5D Mark II.
This video is not for commercial use. It is for my class project and portfolio.

@silverface125 To me, I this you shouldn't have to "make time" to see friends. You should make time to play WOW instead. :)

To stop from doing something that you enjoy and are passionate about personally just for social acceptance is sad. Also generalising towards gamers is a huge problem. Not all gamers are the same. It's called individualism, You judgemental fascists that speak negatively on any gamer should try it some time. It's very freeing.

He should shift his attention to online poker and become pro and make thousands of dollars, or chess and become a grandmaster.... just anything besides this bullshit waste of time.

I played wow since it came out, back in the Vanilla days. And i did enjoy it back then. But i dumped the game because of the hate among the people In Game. People became more and more disrespectful. So i went back to FPS games. And i have no regrets at all. :)

great video makes me think alot about my game play and how often i play wow rather than going out to chill.

You know what? Being hooked on World of Warcraft is a bit better than being hooked on drugs in my opinion. Just keep yourself looking nice and stuff, that's about it.
