Uh, does it mean I'm "Addicted" if I set my alarm to wake me up to play video games at 3:00am every morning when I stay up playing every night until 12:00am? Does it mean I'm "Addicted" if instead of calling friends, and family by their real names, I call them by my favorite video game character names? Am I "Addicted" if I can't walk down the street without a controller in my hand because I need to be able to control where I go? Do I have a video game "Addiction" if when I leave work for lunch I do re-enactments of my favorite game scenes in the middle of starbucks, nude? Am I "Addicted" to video games if when I masterbate I only think of my favorite game titles?

Oh, ohhh... it does mean I'm addicted, uh, well only the last one is true anyway.

You my friend have one hell of a vivid imagination - I like it.

But no, I don't think a single one of those questions could be answered with a yes. You're not addicted to gaming, I mean, you're the next level above "whole can of crazy" - but you're not addicted to gaming. ;D

Are you addicted to Video Games? - The Nera Perspective

quote:

I think that this newly formed 'Video Game Addiction' comes under the same category as several other 'addictions' that have popped up over recent years, like shopping addictions, sex addictions, and drinking milk from the carton addictions.

Oh i believe that only drugs can make ppl really addicted, what video game to me is my love. However, there are actully more and more saying hold "addiction" towards video game specially after MMO came out.

Thank you so much for the post, glad to see it sparked some conversation! What makes me happier though, is the amount of people here that also agree playing Video Games is purely choice, as is watching DVD's, Drinking at the Pub and Masturbation....okay, maybe not masturbation Video Game Addiction is just another example of people profiteering off whatever new vibe just hit the earth, MMO's are the perfect example. At the end of the day, if you feel you are addicted to playing video games, then it's time you grabbed you're nuts, and reminded yourself that you're a bloke, and that video game addiction is just another **** excuse not to got to work/school. And er...if you're a girl then...do the same thing....minus the nuts.
