How about going outside meeting real people, having a social life, maybe even getting a girlfriend (gasp) it is all within your grasp as long as you stop playing WoW
Good enough reason?

People always love to throw this out there. I love the injection of "get a girlfriend" also. I don't see why you would need to slap him in the face, but if it makes you feel better go for it.
I personally have been addicted to many MMO's and have quit and ended up bored also. And this with a 60 hour work week, wife (who is a gamer also) and 2 kids. But I did infact make time for my family and for all the other duties of a homeowner. Like the above poster said its all about moderation!
Anyhow if you like WOW and its gone from "OMG I HAVE TO PLAY" to "Ugh I'm bored, might as well play". Go for it, if you don't have any other hobbies why not!
Just wanted to add another comment on how great this system is for your family. I have a 5 and 12 year old. The 5 year old loves playing a bunch of stuff on our Wii. Bowling on Wii sports is by far the easiest for her, she also likes Super Monkey Ball, raving rabbids and mario party 8. We all play together every night after dinner for about an hour and its a blast. Once the kids are away from the tv there are some awesome games for me also.
Anyhow I like my xbox 360 but its been gathering dust since with kids and wife its easier to get game time in if everyone can be involved. I would highly suggest getting one for a "family" gaming system.
One tip on finding one, if you dont mind paying a touch more ebay has a ton of new systems unbundled. I payed 321 + shipping for mine. Came with a store reciept and of course no tax so it doesnt end up so bad.
No one buys me games anymore, but when I was younger I use to get some random stuff from people. I think my parents told them "he likes to play games all day" and they thought it would be a good idea to randomly pick some game that was 1/2 price. I felt bad saying I didn't like it also, but was raised to appreciate anything and to thank them. My oldest daughter this christmas got multiple copies of High School musical and didnt' want it in the first place, but she smiled and thanked the people anyway. Although they can't track and find out if she watched it or not, lol.
I thought Aion looked kind of cool also, but I am looking more at solo RPG's. Fallout 3 for sure, I am glad it was picked back up. I tried to look up Gothic but it doesn't show anything.
I was wondering if anyone knows of some awesome upcoming RPGs to follow? I played through Oblivion and The Witcher, and was hoping someone could fill me in on what to watch for.
On the 360 I cannot play FPS, yep thats right I suck at life. No matter how hard I try I cannot feel comfortable playing a FPS with a controller. I even have played through GOW and Halo 3 with freinds helping along but I still felt drunk when playing them. I would also say RTS games, although this is another just on the 360 because the controls sucks so bad compared to a mouse.
