Gaming Addiction
-
Hi guys! Have you had any encounter with video game addiction before?
Post your experiences here! Did you have addicted friends? Did you overcome addiction yourself? How has video gaming affected your life?
Please reply! I would be grateful cos this is for a school assignment. -
i couldn't stop, continue and continue, until i fainted, they brought me to hospital, den i there continue playing gameboy until i fainted again. so i was brought to counseling, and the stupid psychiatrist installed an xbox in his office so i ended up playing with him until we both fainted.
im playing oblivion now.. lvl 99 le.

well i'm not that bad but my father always says i'm playing too much
i read from the dotA forums this guy stayed in his room playing dotA the whole month that he brought 1.5 litre bottles into his room so he could pee without leaving the game for a moment -
My friend play those type of online games, upon reaching high levels he will sell it to other people. He told his mum he will provide for the family just by selling like this.
In the end, he did not turn up for his N levels exams last year. This year, he sign up for private course for O levels, BUT, he still continue to skip class, cause of games. -
Then, what did he bring to the room to sh*t?Originally posted by finoq:well i'm not that bad but my father always says i'm playing too much

used to be a very hardcore MapleStory player. 18 hours straight online. but then, when maple started to become laggy, my feeling towards MS started to disappear. morale of the story : if u wanna make a game, dont make it laggy.
FI also hardcore gamer sia. thot u only stay with us in bar -

Mine not as jialat as some examples here but i could not give up the chance to play Diablo II each night no matter how late i came back from work. Even a ten minute game to just tidy up the character felt good.
But ever since my DVD drive busted on me, my craving inadvertently subsided. -
played all sorts of games earlier. noteworthy ones are below
resident evil - cheong a few nights to complete the whole game
half life - cheong a few weeks night to complete the whole game -
Though addiction is bad,playing video games can improve cognitive skills according to research so gaming isnt a bad thing or waste of time.Its also a booming industry and u can take part in WCG or other similar events to win $$ or prizes if u are really good.Originally posted by gr2012:ok...nice replies!

i love to play games, but not to "addicted" level.
But one of my fren who play FFonline, his teamates got divorced partly bcos of playing FFO.
That guy actually knows my fren in real life, i have also met him a few times for supper, but only a few times. He and his wife both play FFO, but actually his wife play it just for the sake of company him, she dont really like to play. And she dont play as often as him. The guy love the game so much, that he totally forgot how's the life of a new wed couple should be. So he just spent most of his time playing game, beside working(he signed on in army). The game didnt affect his career, cos when he has to go camp, he must, when he's off, he just stay home and play. But her wife feel neclected, and he dont do "normal" things with her. Like bring her out for dinner, go shopping center walk walk, watch movies, etc. So..... she found a new guy, a guy who cares about her, not games. A guy who do things with her that most couples do. Later the affair was exposed, becuase of the IE history got links to a page with the photo the wife took with the other guy. So things get ugly.... and they decided to get divorced..... -
