The Double Life?

When people hear of the word WOW the immediate idea is the single male who is still living in his mother's basement. The article is an account of a 30 year old male married with a child living two different lives. The real world he is a journalist and in the virtual world in which he plays as an elf that battles and trains. The author gives into account the way the game has an affect on his life and also the way he deals living this double life. In the beginning of the article the author states that with age he would grow out of video games. That, however, was not the case for him because it almost became an escape. In WOW he was able to enter this world of community and take action to things he would not be able to do in real life. To take heroic action and have a direct affect to the world that his avatar took part in. The author ends with the idea that this second life of his may have direct affect to his son. In the case of following by example is there such a thing as being too old to play games?
