I love your come backs! Feel free to bite him too. And film it if possible. I need some new 'entertainment'. ;)
As for WoW and watching movies. Just because you are button mashing doesn't mean you are paying attention to it. When I was playing my paladin I was basically autoattacking and hitting 4-6 keys depending on what I was fighting. It doesn't change. I often found myself watching anime on the second screen while killing stuff because all you are doing is hitting a key every 3-10 seconds to activate a power with a 0.5-1 second animation. Those spare few seconds inbetween can be killer when grinding a hundred of the same enemy. And this is the same for most MMOs. Always best to have something to distract you.
The only time I ever payed 100% attention in WoW was PvP and raiding and thats only because they were the 2 best parts about WoW as almost any game for me anyway.
He does sound like he was paying attention to WoW though. I sympathize with you nstgc in this situation however 'multitasking' is not a bad thing in my eyes. You may be dividing your attention but when things don't require 100% attention it means that you can get other things done.
Cooking and cleaning for example. I often clean the house while frying up mince or something because although frying mince is a short thing really in the grand scheme of things it doesn't need that much attention. I will often start the dishes going or just general tidying. (If I watch TV though I become too distracted.) In that respect I like to be able to multitask.
Sosseres:
Listening to music while doing something that requires near 90% or so focus isn't multi tasking for me. I just zone the music out when necessary, going so far as not noticing when it stops.
As for the topic, I hate that as well, I know how bad I am at multitasking. I do it all the time though, some things just don't need more than 30% focus but are still fun.

While the movies are far from Mediocre, I have heard that the BD versions suck =/

sry to break it to ya folks but big green-screens and lots of non existent ogre things battling each other while 2 midgets run to a volcano for 9 hours isnt a good movie.
The books were good, but the movies != the books

lol, ret pally rotation. Oh wait, faceroll and press 3 buttons if they come off of cooldown with no chance to fuck up. ;) Missing a few seconds won't do much for a ret pally.
You could just make a single key macro to spam all three attacks in a priority, set it to mouse scroll and watch a movie.
Trying to fix my rotation (static dk rotation with no room for error), watching stacks of a ticking debuff, watching my runes, telling what my ghoul to attack, calling out things over a mic, and moving away from people who are blowing up every 15 seconds is fun to multi-task.

Well, someone didn't pay "100%" attention during our Sindragosa Hard Mode 25 attempt, caused this... The whole raid was ice blocked, except for two people, including me.
