    I was addicted to WoW some time ago, my addiction last like 2 years or so. It was crazy addition.

    But some time ago I eventually quit WoW, I dunno why tho, just got a bit boring or I don't know, but now I'm happy.

    BTW, now I have a new addiction - BMX :)

    I was addicted to habbo for a good 2 years, i live in a small town so theres not much to do. after I quit that, I picked up a 360 when they were released. and been addicted to CoD4 ever since :P

    Let me fix that. I played habbo Too much. as Rish said in his other post you cant be addicted to a game.

    I usually get addicted to a game for a while, then I give up and then do something else. '_'

    ...So I'm not addicted to any games at the moment. xP

    Nope, I can't play ANY game for more than an hour - but generally I play a game for 20-30 minutes then get bored of it.

    Some would say an Addiction would to do that of which your addicted to in "Excess" I have had arguments with a friend of mine on this topic regularly when ever it comes up. and we always come up to the answer, its an Addiction of Excess ammount of doing it. But cannot harm you in anyway because its a Videogame. Think of it this way.

    Video Game Violence, is it real? No. Its a State of mind. As in a "Video Game addiction"

    An "Addiction" can only be used to describe a biological substance. Why? Because of the chemicals in it, it actually has a physical effect on the body, especially in the form of withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop it. A game cannot do this, it is all in your brain, you are making yourself think you need it, there is no external substance causing it.

    Arent you taking it a little bit serious?
    come on why take it really literal when you know what way it was being implied...

    A game you play a hell of a lot, and you find yourself keep playing it. why do you feel the need to TRY and be a smartass.. who cares exactly what the word addiction means, why say it here, are you that desperate to show off that you know something?

    EDIT:
    ghey ragezone doesnt have auto-merge, come on, im too lazy to do it myself -__-

    gtfo, Hes making a point moron.

    Why imply it? This is an Addiction Topic video games or Not, a Video Game Addiction is a State of Mind or just isnt an addiction at all. I put 20+ hours on CoD4 in a week. its not an Addiction. I just like to play CoD4 alot.



    @Rishwin. As I Said. its a State of Mind when it comes to video games.

    Re: Are you addicted to a game?

    I'm very shifting in games.
    I usually play a game for around a month, then I get bored ..
    Then a few months (and a few games, yes) after, I go to a friend or something, and I see: 'Hey, that game is still pretty cool' and I do that again.
    That's about my loop =x
