Quote"The thing that I find most interesting ... is the idea that these media figures have real psychological effects on the self," says study author Ariana Young, a doctoral candidate in psychology at the University at Buffalo. "It's not just mind-numbing entertainment. The bonds that we form –- and we do form real bonds - they affect how we feel about ourselves. And it's not always in a bad way."

If that bond with a hero like Batman or Spider-Man is strong, imagine what effect the bond of creating and playing a character for 8 years in CoH could do for you.  :)

We've been doing it for eight years now. Why stop just because this one doesn't have power armor?
