gaming can be addicting and yes not only world of warcraft. one of my friends destroyed his life with videogames. hes without work for 5 years now and he's very intelligent. he has no friends anymore, he didn't have a girlfriend since i know him and he's doing nothing than playing and sleeping.

he is 30 and i don't even know if he ever had a girlfriend or other friends than me but that all doesn't change the fact that gaming isn't as bad as drugs and i will never believe that someone kills his school mates just because he played cod...

but you don't need gaming to end up like your friend

take your pick of many men that end up like that who have never played a console in their life

nobody to blame but yourself if you f*cked up your life,whatever that entails anyway,there are plenty of so called successfull men who are complete wankers to everyone around them

HEHEHEHE I love how you sneaked that in there after the comma :D

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

Too dramatic of a comparison, although gaming is a bit like drug. During long gaming sessions sometimes I even forget to pee/eat/sleep. If I game I pretty much ignore my body altogether, and he's fine with it. I can draw the line though, whereas I think crack is probably more addictive, kudos to those who've managed to kick their adiction, as that is some impressive willpower.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

If he is saying it causes greater amounts of dopamine in the brain he is correct, but I do not care to read his stupid insinuations when they seem so biased. This video is an interesting one of explaining how dopamine and video games are related to cocaine, and sex and an unimaginable amount of things.
