Video Game Addiction

See the Full Article HERE

It's crazy how many stories are out there about people addicted to video games. Some of them are pretty gruesome and resulted in death. Sounds like we need Video Games Anonymous

well they are pushing to try and make video game addiction a disorder, it would be classfied under antisocial, because you know how everyone loves to point fingers and say every school shooting was the result of video games.

I'm surprised it's only 10% with addictive behavior. Seems like it'd be higher. Nice little blog you got there . I'l have to catch up on your older articles some time :)

I think it's ridiculous how people blame video games for their kid's actions. Pretty much, if your kid is that jacked up to blow up a school or shoot somebody i doubt not playing games would prevent it. and thanks departed :) I just started it, and would love for you to check it out sometime!

There is such a case. But we here know what to do, although we love to video game but doesn't we are to silly enough to produce an negative stuff like death or something.
We play for fun. :D

they'll give you therapy for everything nowadays...

Someone needs to further differentiate an "addiction" from an "obsession." People should not freely throw words around.

yeah I once watched this true life on mtv about a video game obsession
and this one girl didn't even realize she was obsessed with video games
and it was interesting to watch.

Ya its crazy, I use to know a chinese gold farmer that played WoW 16 hours a day and made minimum wage, It was sad.

That is unsettling this girl did not even realize she had an obsession. She needs help.
