First of all let me start by saying I am a big gamer and I've been playing video games most of my life

He has a point . . Why? . . .

 

My best friend has been playing World of Warcraft for about 2 to 3 years now and has totally lost his sense of reallity, if he's not eating, using the toilet or sleeping (which is very rare) he's playing World of Warcraft, Now his health is becomming worring because all he does it sit infront of the desktop monitor with beers and pizza's playing WOW. Docters have warned him that he needs to change his lifestyle or he's heading into an early grave. Warcraft is his LIFE! it's the saddest sh*t you've ever seen!

 

Anything can be taken to an extreme.  Of course some things, taken to an extreme are healthier than other things, but the point remains.  Games should be used to lift life, or provide some less destructive form of entertainment.  A key would be to ask how to get balance and how to harness what is seen here to be able to get things to be better.
