if you play responsably, and you know wjen to stop, evem if you play a lot, there is no problem

but those numbers are indeed worring

This proves gaming is a gateway drug that should be made illegal.

I'm sorry dude, but I gotta one-up ya. I played Twilight Princess for at least 99 hours straight, stopping only to go to the bathroom and get a short nap once or twice. I ate in my room while playing. I shut off all social life for a week. I probably played for more than that, but the in-game counter only goes so high.

I need an intervention I guess.

I remember feeling some adrenaline rushes while I was playing Devil May Cry 3 :P
I also felt some of those while playing God of War II... but they weren't as strong as the ones DMC3 made me feel :P

I wish I didn't get bored of DMC3 after playing it for so long (my save file shows 99:59:59 hours played... but I'm sure the real time is 3 times that :P).

But if 2 hours of gaming=1 line of cocaine then I guess I'm so used to cocaine that it doesn't produce any effect on me anymore =P

If what the article says is true, then those kids are really addicted to gaming :P. And I thought my younger brother was... I guess I was wrong, those kids seem to be way more addicted to gaming than him and they do stuff my brother wouldn't do (like playing nonstop without even eating or stealing money from my parents or skipping school just to keep playing his MMORPGs :P)

You definitely aren't dead.

As for that other thing...

"Hey man, can I score a feew grams?"

"Whatchu got for me?"

"I got Mario Galaxy 2 and Red Dead redemption, by my count that's worth at LEAST 35 lines!"

You shouldn't joke about that kinda thing, it's probably closer than you think.

i must be very high then.

oh no we are all doomed.....again

a bit of a stupid comparison really,is it the same as having a punch up or running in a race or playing other sports too,

playing a game for a few sessions and having a gram of cocaine will leave you in very different states,

why don't they start with television and the problems thats dealt our society before they deal with anything else or just shut the f*ck up and leave us be with our free will

lol then i guess coke has no effect on me.
