Masi Oka, star of NBC's Heroes, stated in an interview on G4TV that he was an officer in a guild on Spinebreaker. In an interview with [http://videogames.yahoo.com Yahoo! Games] when asked "Has the show's (Heroes) success impacted your own gaming habits?" Masi replied, "Yes, I feel like I have to be more responsible with my time. Not that gaming is a waste of time. I like to have my gaming relaxation time. When I was playing World of Warcraft, I couldn't believe how much time I spent inside of that world. And as great a world as that is, I realize I live in a great world. I want to create these fantasies now, not just live in it. If I have free time I want to write and do creative things. I'm really enjoying real life." Full story here.
