QuoteIn one of this year's loonier lawsuits, Depeche Mode's Martin Gore has been subpoenaed by an American videogamer and asked to testify on the subject of "alienation". Erik Estavillo is suing the makers of World of Warcraft, alleging that the game has alienated him from the real, orc-less world.
According to the San Jose, California resident, World of Warcraft is a "harmful virtual environment" and its developers follow "sneaky and deceitful practices". Despite this, Estavillo admits he "relies on videogames heavily for the little ongoing happiness he can achieve in this life". He just wants World of Warcraft to cost less money. And to stop making him so sad.
and the guy is a real trier too
QuoteThe gamer's past grievances, all unsuccessful, include a suit against Microsoft, claiming a broken Xbox 360 caused him undue stress; a claim against Sony, alleging they violated his First Amendment rights by banning him from their network; and a claim against Nintendo, arguing that by blocking certain Wii software they interfered with his inalienable right to seek happiness.
this guy has made my day
:lulz: The world needs more people like this guy. You know, to speed up Armageddon.
Ok, but... why Martin Gore?
WTF does he have to do with WoW?
:lulz:

Why do you expect there to be any logic associated with this?

I want them to croon softly about alienation for me, all i have to do is bring some stupid case against someone.

Yeah, well, shit, I'm calling dibs on that chick from Evanescence. I'm not a fan, it's just that she has legendary tits and my standards have, apparently, hit an all time low.
I just can't believe you could subpoena random famous people with some made up excuse.
If I make this a hobby of mine I think I'll hire on a Harely Quinn look alike to hand them out

"I served you a subpoena once... :roll: It was a
small subpoena"
Hell, then I'm gonna sue and subpoena BEARFORCE1, for causing me mental anguish by breaking up.
I was considering getting in on the class-action suit by the other WoW gamer widows, then I realized it was probably a waste of time.

I don't know how clever it is...but I'm assuming your husband didn't leave you for an 18 year old girl he met on WoW.

It's cool. It wasn't intentional, but yeah, both are a huge waste of time.

Fixed for internet-ness.
