Plausible... good timing doesn't always automatically make something fake.

I do too. That's an awful convincing temper tantrum.

Let's put it this way: I wish I THOUGHT of shoving a remote up my ass during a tantrum, or else I would've already filmed that shit!

You just can't write that shit! ;-)?

Wait, is world of warcraft that game where you can make teams with other people and pretend to be elves and whatnot?

Don't act like you don't know

Maybe that's why he smelled bad. He sat in front of that computer ALL day.

If for several years of your life, all you do in general is play World of Warcraft, leaving it will have an affect.
World of Warcraft is a very complex game consisting of many technicalities involving gameplay, combined with social interaction. Due to the SHEER MOUNT of Associations and Habits formed with this game over time, severing connection with it could feel like a little death to someone.

Gone is the repetition of mouse-clicking, the eye-movements that are trained to recognize changes in statistics you build attachments to.
(Isn't weird you can BE attached to statistics?) Gone is the reliance of talking to your other game mates, gone is the language you use to talk about the game, which would be only spoken about at full semantic ability during play.

So these these attachments and associations develop and honed immediatley start to lose context without the game, and something without context is frightening; Surreal even, which can be UNNERVING.
To the point of freakouts for some people.

So, I can believe this. I have freaed out physically myself in small ways, but nothing like that, but it did involve loss. Loss is hard to deal with (Like death of a love one, the person no longer there to mirror your associations, death is a fading context)

BUT
Mostly I consider people addicted to video games Degenerates, double for that kid. Live REAL life, THEN talk about it on a Forum. Don't talk about your fake life on a forum. You just lost. Go do some drugs or something.

It was too disturbing for me to laugh, fake or not.

although the remote up the ass was pretty funny

The remote up the arse is the thing that makes me think it might be real, I just can't imagine someone would do something like that if they knew people were watching.
