Video games an addiction... ?

[Skulkraken]

Playing games is probably something of an addiction for me. Several times, I've played on and on in an online game, only to realize after I'm done that I completely forgot to eat lunch or get something to drink.

Being online is also something I hate to lose.

It is an addiction for me. I NEED to play games everyday or I go nuts

Pretty much that same here. I was studying spanish on sunday, and I ended up playing pheonix wright somehow...

Well...I don't go nuts if I don't play, but...I need an escape. This world is so nasty sometimes that I often want to just fall through my DS screen...

Of course, If I have something really really important to do, the games go on hold. I don't want to screw myself over in real life. Because out here, there is no such thing as "Game over, start again".

I think for the vast majority of you people video games are just your primary source of entertainment. When you don't have them you just get really bored. Unless video games are grossly interfering with other areas of your life, I'd stop complaining. It's offensive to people who are real addicts.
