Oh man, yeah. I got into WoW and NWN because Noah was into it, but then he got too busy for it, and the people I then spent all my time with were faces I'd never see and names I'd never know. It got pretty bad. I got to know the DMs well enough to know that they're unemployed 40-year-old men who've never had a girlfriend, a job, and who never leave the house, and the picture of my future became so bleak that I finally, finally quit. I miss it to death, and I will never forgive Noah for abandoning me! None of my other RL friends understand what happened, they all think I'm a silly, sad recluse now.
Hah, I'm more worried that kids'd drive *me* insane. You're right though, it sucks to see people you care about making bad decisions and no amount of "it's not your fault"-ing or "there's nothing you coulda done"-ing changes that it sucks. -.-
