Tyra Banks Shreds 'Warcraft'

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Monday, January 29, 2007 8:20 AM

I wish I didn't have a job so I could stay home and watch The Tyra Banks show.

Tyra's hard-hitting expose of World of Warcraft addiction is seriously one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen on television.

Banks found a dude who was so into Warcraft, he left his wife while she was in labor, presumably to raid.

Rather than commend the guy for his committment to his guild, Tyra's resident addiction specialist Dr. Gary gave him 50DKP minus for bad relationship skills. Anyway, watch it:

Part 2 is under the cut:

For no reason: PANTY PARTY!!!

Video games will ruin us all! I'm surprised Jack Thompson wasn't brought in to shed some light on the subject...

What a pathetic jerk. Log off the damn computer, be a man and take care of your kid. "Hmm should I raid or have sex? Fake gold? Sex?" Man, that's a tough one.

Im just going to repost what someone else said about the subject :

" Tyra's obviously full of shit for calling her beautiful when we all know what her standards of beauty are, but nobody asked Shawn candidly if his wife's weight gain after the baby is part of the reason he's ignoring her. Maybe he's just a fat nazi as Tyra is. We don't know. She's smaller than him in that first pic of them together in the first video. Now she's bigger than him; that's a huge turnoff for some guys. Especially if they aren't Cuban.

Its good that Tyra asked "how's intimacy" but the question should have been "since you put on, what, 50 pounds since birth? Do you know if that bothers him?" For all we know, the Warcraft problem is him avoiding the fact that he's no longer attracted to his wife cause she blew up. I'm not saying that's right, but it's just human nature (guys are dicks) so my theory could hold some weight. (get it, hold some weight? HARR HARR HARR) " - Niero @ www.destructoid.com

It is people like him that give us video gamers a bad reputation. If he is playing warcraft so much, how did his wife get pregnant? Is he sure the kid is his. I see an episode of Maury in this guy's future.

Posted by annoying_tool - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:03 AM

What an ass that guy is. Its to bad he wasn't humiliated on a show that more people watched.

Posted by Snaileb - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:06 AM

ok... Im not justifying this guy bouncing on his wife while in labor.
Theys gots problems.

Oh and that smile he makes isnt someone getting over addiction, it's someone who knows he doesnt need the installation discs to keep playing. Trya's a n00b.

Posted by sjohnson - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:08 AM

More importantly... PANTY PARTY!!!!!!!

Posted by Snaileb - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:13 AM

lmao Tyra "PANTY PAAAAAARTY" Banks FTW.

Thank you for returning us to our manly roots, sjohnson.

this guy gives gamers a really bad rep, how the hell play video games on one of the biggest days oh his life, and how the hell do u not giver her that attention, shes a pretty good lookin women shoot i'd stop what im doing and bang that any day

Posted by priestjw - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:40 AM

This guy isn't stupid he knows he can still play the game without the Cd, if he was really giving up WOW he would have deleted all his characters - thanks god, the Doctor and Tyra (Blanks) empty headed super model trying to fix people lives, have no about how WOW is played. But leaving girlfriend while in labor (man needs to get a life)

Posted by King_James_23 - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:42 AM

Now that's what you call a dumbass!

Posted by StrongestSaiyan - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:44 AM

I'm supposed to believe that he was instantly cured. What a load. All he has to do is go out and buy the game again and he's set. Addictions aren't instantly broken. Yes he needs help, but this was some high grade TV bull.

Snaileb for President! The absolutely best post i ever read . Pure Genius. As much I hate to say it you are right

Posted by pocketsizedude98 - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:57 AM

he can easily buy another copy on the way home. I pretend to quit things (weed) all the time

Posted by SkyAnimal - Monday, January 29, 2007 10:20 AM

Heck, I have an addiction to video games, but I can turn them off, walk away, leave them forever. And I know that a woman is a lot better then a video game, although a video game will never ditch you like a dame could....

But playing while she's in labor? Bad move.

And nice of Tyra to give her "Certificate of Approval" to bashing the whole thing. It was pretty one sided.

Where was Kevin to give the gamer side of the story?!

Better yet, where was Kevin to give the rooster call advice? ;)

Posted by Snaileb - Monday, January 29, 2007 10:25 AM

Thanx Immortal, I can't stand watching that again.

Also, blankrage, if you think she's cute there's this beautiful hippo at the zoo who you might find cute. ;)

Posted by Essence_of_coal - Monday, January 29, 2007 10:58 AM

damn here too. its also on joystiq and FYI tyra's a attention whore.

Posted by CreamPieBaby - Monday, January 29, 2007 11:29 AM

I agree with snaileb. She probably stopped suckin him off and he got bored. He found warcraft and now she is second. Instead of trying to seduce him, she probably just nags and bitches at him. She should have contacted that old lady from Talk Sex. She could have helped them unlike tyra. What the hell did trya do? She got him on tv and accused him of being completely in the wrong and had some gay dude agree with her. Chicks are crazy, panty parties are awesome.

Posted by Snaileb - Monday, January 29, 2007 11:53 AM

LMAO @ Dubula

Posted by zattzoo - Monday, January 29, 2007 12:17 PM

Panty Party..... NICE

Posted by GeneGeneration - Monday, January 29, 2007 12:25 PM

i'm gonna go on a limb here and say that he probably didn't plan on having kids with her... but her maternal instincts kicked in and he had no choice but to step-up and support them. so he turns to video games to deal with the stress, and she turns to haagen dazs, but that gay dude doesn't attack her for that. i know some guys are into thick chicks... but what the hell... you don't get pregnant in your thighs.

solution:
he's only allowed to play warcraft while she goes to them gym... there, problem solved.

PANTY PARTY FTW

Posted by sykoh - Monday, January 29, 2007 5:56 PM

Holy crap thats hilarious! Im a huge fan of WoW and I cant last a week without playing it and seeing this video about someone being addicted to WoW is no suprise at all. Thats just one guy out of tens of thousands of WoW addicts.....

Thats just weird that they would have something about WoW on her show though...

Posted by GrereX - Monday, January 29, 2007 7:09 PM

She should buy the guy a laptop...

Posted by DarkZer0 - Monday, January 29, 2007 8:31 PM

You can tell that he knows that Tyra and that gay douchebag are idiots. He probably bought Burning Crusade and now is playing twice is much. Somebody should find out his online screen name and see if he is still playing and if his girl if still with him.

Posted by crooklynmayo - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:19 PM

Either this guy is the smartest man in the world, or Tyra and this so called expert are the stpuidest people on the planet. I mean anybody that knows anything about video games knows that all he has to do i buy a new copy or in the world of pc games buy the next installment (burning crusade). Can't believe he duped them soo easily, win one for the addicts!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by kakkorotto - Monday, January 29, 2007 9:55 PM

My god 3 people on here are morons. You don't need the install discs to play it. So why would he spend $20 to play a game already istalled on your pc that doesn't require discs. He could even go and dl it from blizzard for free.
If they were smart they would've destroyed his pc.

Posted by ArseNapkin - Monday, January 29, 2007 11:57 PM

This was more for the stay at home moms and older people that don't understand the gaming culture at all... I used to play warcraft on a regular bases... the show made it look like warcraft was an elegal drung or something. It wasen't the game at all... it was the dude. He has a problem just like everyone you ever heard going crazy or killing them selfs over a game like this. did you hear how everyone was screeming YEAYEA!! WHOOO! when they distroyed the dics? you dont even need the dics to play the friggin game!... such a load of crap... sure it makes for good tv... for old people/noobs.

Posted by FMA-MaesHughes - Tuesday, January 30, 2007 2:33 AM

ha, i saw that smile on the guys face when they started to shred the disc. clearly they didn't know that you don't need the disc to play the game. I wonder how things went and what happened when they got back home.

Posted by ent0r - Tuesday, January 30, 2007 8:00 AM

The characters he leveled are tied to his WOW CD-key.
You can easily DL the game, it doesn't cost anything, but the key is crucial part.
And it would be way more effective to riun his reputation on his realm.

This story is complete Bullshit. Its like on half baked. Have you ever sucked some c.ock for some WoW :No I havent. Boo this man for not having a real addiction. And Boo tyra banks for focusing on something as lame as this addictin. Oxycotin and Meth addicts are on the rise and all you got is i didnt show up for my babies birth. Shit atleast you didnt sell the baby on the black market for some meth.
