Basement Wizard

Definition

An adult (typically 20+) who never left their parents' basement, spending all waking hours grinding away in MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or RuneScape instead of achieving literally anything else in life. Peak underachievement meets gaming obsession.

Example Usage

Marcus used to have potential, but he's become a total Basement Wizard since that new WoW expansion dropped.
