Do you wanna date my Avatar?

These guys created an original comedy sketch on YouTube called "Watch the Guild" and it's a parody of a group of online gamers interacting both in-game and in real life.

They are entering into season 3 now and the show got sponsored by Microsoft. Not too bad at all considering it all started off as a fun YouTube series!

Note: Press the full screen button on the lower right-hand side of player to get full screen.

Gaming Addict Talks about Losing Family

This is a very deep video. This man lost his family because of his hobby, and shares the experience and gives some very important advice. A person doesn't have to be married with children to get something out of this; anyone who has a strong passion for a hobby has relationships that are important, whether it's immediate family, or friends.



NOTE: This isn't anyone affiliated with the blog (or even chess as far as I know) but it's a powerful video nonetheless. The man who created the video has his YouTube channel located HERE.
