Here are some folks who have taken playing World of WarCraft to the next level. Xtreme Gaming is a gamers parlor where people go to wile away the hours.
Asked about his official role at Xtreme Gaming, McBride says, “I’m the game tester, I guess.”
He tests games for hours and hours. The arcade’s owners pay him in free play time.
He and Hemphill, who met eight years ago at Friday Night Live teen center, now are engaged to be married.
Hemphill did not enter the relationship as a gamer.
“But now I’m probably more addicted than he is,” she says. “We raid together all the time.”
“There is an addiction,” McBride admits, with some hesitation. “But I know I can stop any time I want.”
He can stop any time he wants, but never does! For a guy with a WOW addiction, he picked the perfect job.

One of the more amusing things that polarizes WoW players is the various capital cities. Everyone has a favorite, very few people are ever neutral. Some of my friends like Ironforge for its simplicity, it’s all laid out in a circle. Some like Stormwind for the truly city-like appearance. Some even like Darnassus because they have a thing for purple. Some of my friends wish we played Horde so we could have Orgrimmar, because I guess they need more spikes in their life or something. Me? I’m a Stormwind (and Silvermoon City) kind of guy, but Dalaran has stole my heart. Plenty of people hate Dalaran too, though.
Everyone just wants different things out of their cities. I like cities with tons of flavor, with a very city feel. Stormwind feels like people really live there, despite how small it is. Dalaran most definitely feels like a city of mages, and there’s a ton of flavor and neat stuff to look at there. The fact that every single person who gives you directions in Dalaran has a name is crazy neat. The little daily event at 9 PM where you get to help turn on the lights
