A Self-Confessed Addict

"Jeesoo Park & Devin Dwyer sat down with Adam Brown, who says World of Warcraft took over his life for 10 years. In a special collaboration, Columbia School of Journalism students are contributing short video reports to Digital Nation"

1/ What is the time code in the video where this is stated?

2/ World of Warcraft was release in North America, Australia and New Zealand on 23 November 2004. Hence playing World of Warcraft cannot have taken over his life for 10 years.

I guess fact checking is not something taught at Columbia.

wow!

@ Ren Reynolds -- Thanks for catching that error in the blurb and bringing it to our attention. An editor recently re-wrote an earlier version of the description during a site update and made the mistake. (The original description, written by the producers, said Brown was consumed by computer gaming -- not just World of Warcraft -- for 10 years, which is true according to Brown, his parents and friends.)
