Blizzard discourages WoW 'poopsocking'

Dude, you did WHAT in your sock?

1.1 - It is in the Urban Dictionary
http://www.urbandictionary....

"1. poopsocking

Defacating into a sock in order to avoid having to get up from your computer to use the toilet. Often utilized when playing online role playing games.

John was poopsocking all the way to level 60 this weekend."

What a hilarious word, made my day

I would probably use a stolen hospital bedpans/ostomy bags, but I guess I'm just not hardcore enough for poopsocking

Gross...

1.3 - Well, in all honesty...
It's expected that there will be folks that do this practice and if they know folks are going to do this, rather than going against it, just bundle the game with a free colostomy bag. It's just that simple.

Surely, trying to aim into a sock is harder work than getting off your ass and using the toilet?

Actually - just tried it. Easier than you think. And you can use the other sock as toilet paper. Now back to WoW...

my preferred method is to exclusively eat very hot Indian food and use a home-made bum catheter to take away my poop.

I started with jamming a catheter-like tube up my ass with a sock, with the other end of the tube stretching all the way into the bathroom. I later improved this setup by attaching a similar tube round the front, and I also routed both tubes through my PC to help keep things cool. seriously, poop-cooled PCs are the future.

I'm right behind you...I was curious as to what they meant by that I guess I should have taken a closer look at the image of Eric from that episode of South Park. I can't believe people would do this, I mean come on.
