Do you people deny that gaming addiction is a major problem?

I'd not be surprised if in Western countries there would be nearly as many people that get their lives ruined due to video game addiction as due to cocaine addiction.

I actually do know a guy who got addicted to World of Warcraft. When we started high school he was the best in the class. By the end of high school he started skipping classes for weeks at a time, and he failed the Baccalaureat exam. I guess video game addiction can be real (especially when it comes to MMO games, who literally tend to suck the life out of you).

Games is drugz confirmed.



You may have trouble paying attention to the story, though, given Crysis 2's constant sensory assault. This is the best-looking console game to date.

Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game

Why are the arguments against gaming so terribly weak and ridiculous?


As long as they get the lowest sommon denominator to believe, than all is fine.

Those sure are low standards then.

So I've been a coke addict all my life it seems...but thanks to this article, I now know that I can just snort a line instead of grinding two hours to get my fix.

Thank you, Stevey-weevey!

Less time investment, sure, but the coke costs more. It's fiscally irresponsible for today's thrifty cokehead.

Well...time really is money

Anybody else notice that the word "therapist" is dangerously close to "the rapist"? Haha why do we trust these people.
