That really is as close to the truth as you can get. I felt that way when I used to play World of Warcraft, I can now say I've been Warcraft-free for quite some time, but I still miss it!
World of Warcraft is probably one of the first things you can think of when watching this movie. I never startet playing that game as I had already heard about how addictive MMORPGs can be... however here at my university people play it all the time during lectures when they should listen.. kinda sad
