3rd Trimester

World of Warcraft Mt. Dew Drink?!

So BF went to the convenience store this morning to get his usual Rockstar or Full Throttle energy drink. He brought me a cup of coffee, and instead of his normal drink he pulls out this... World of Warcraft Game Fuel by Mt. Dew. being addicted to the game isn't bad enough already... now they want his addicted to all of their sugary drinks?! OMG BF needs and intervention. And I need to get to work on figuring out how to block WoW on our router (I wasn't successful yesterday Sad )

  • Loading the player...
  • Thanks katie! I did everything just like i was supposed to to block it, but for some reason it just didn't work!!! I need a techie person's help. the only person I know of who could help me right now would be BF's friend, but he also plays religiously and would definitely tell BF about it... I want it to be a "oh... I don't know what's going on, maybe you downloaded a virus while watching that porn the other night" type of thing. I don't want him to be aware I'm doing this...
  • R&Rmommy... when DH gets here, I'll ask him if he knows of a way. He's a former WOW addict and a computer repair tech. I'll see what I can find out for you. Cool

    OOOOOOH!!! I will seriously love you forever and ever if he can help! I have to leave for work by 5:45 PST and am hoping to have it done by then. I'll PM you with the steps I took and everything so maybe your DH can have an idea of what I did Big Smile

    Tried this. Also looked at Linksys's website. The directions I was given were very simple, I followed them, but it still didn't work.

    He's on a job right now, but let me give him a call and see if he even knows of a way to do this. I would hate to wait forever and then find out he's a dumbass... haha. BRB.

  • ...ok, so he said he does know how to do it. Something about blocking the port that WOW uses, but you have to know which one it is to do this. Some techie speak that I don't entirely understand. But, he can help you, I just don't think there's anyway he will be home before you leave. He's on a job 45 minutes away.

  • why are you blocking WoW?
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Ah, yeah that's what I've been doing is blocking port 3724... that's the port that WoW uses to access the internet. I'm updating my router's firmware right now so hopefully that will work. I'm 3 hours behind you so it's only 2:30 here right now. I will have another 3 hours before I have to leave Smile

    I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!!!

  • Haha... good luck and let me know what happens. Why did you want to block it? Is he just playing too much?

    why are you blocking WoW?

    Because it is a life-sucker. My BF logs on as soon as he wakes up and doesn't log off till about 3am. Last night when I got home from work, I made a sandwich for dinner (it was around 11:30pm). BF asked me to make him one and my reply was "ok, as long as you don't play wow for the rest of the night". He got upset at me just merely suggesting this. 

    The game has taken over his life. He would rather spend 20 hours in front of his damn computer than 3 hours registering for our baby registries. 

    Got the picture?

  • And before it's asked, no, he isn't working right now. He's in the trades business and due to the economy and being in California, work is incredibly slow. He's sitting here collecting unemployment while playing WoW all day. Must be nice.

    Isn't it going to cause an even bigger fight when you take away his game?  I hope you have prepared yourself for that.

    My ( soon to be ) ex husband became a game hog.  He spent more time on Second Life and WoW than with me.  I mean I love WoW and soon will be playing Aion Online.  But I obviously have better priorities.  His priorities was the game.  So.. we are not together anymore.  I just hope it works out the way you want it too.  Be careful.. people have done some crazy things over games.  ::Hugs::

  • I have prepared myself for this. My plan is to start giving it back to him a little bit at a time. He needs to get used to having other priorities, which up to this point he has never has to worry about anything but himself. I played WoW for the last 4 years, even became severely addicted at one point. That's when I realized I had a problem and started backing off. BF is the kind of guy who won't do something unless he is pushed... it's always "I'll do it tomorrow" with him. Well, his tomorrow has come today.
  • I just noticed we have the same EDD.  wow.. good luck!

  • oh wow! Aug 17th ftw!!!

    I met another girl on here, Kkenner, who lives about 30 mins from me and has the same EDD as well. We've been meeting once a week to go grocery shopping, or window shopping at the mall, etc. It's nice to have a prego buddy to hang out with!!

     And an update on the blockage... so I updated my firmware, reset everything back to the factory settings, re-set up my wireless network (talk about a PITA!), just tried to block the WoW ports again with no luck... GRRRRR. 

  • what about parental controls?
