What is Mikey's addiction?

Problem Statement: Mikey, my roommate, stumbled across this internet game known as "World of Warcraft" and it's affecting almost every aspect of his life. He school work is slacking, he's gone nights without sleep and his sleeping pattern is not so much a pattern as nonexistant, and he has no social interaction with anyone anymore.

Abstract: The goal of this blog is to monitor and document the affect this game has on Mikey's life, through both quantitative and qualitative data of the amount of time he has exerted playing it and the effects of it, respectively.

The study will start on Monday, August 29th at precisely 12:00 AM.
