That's what light switches are for.
It's sad when people believe that games *ARE* their life.
Those fucking games just suck people in for some reason. It's not hard to lose track of time and play for 5 hours without really doing anything.
I've had to terminate employment because people were addicted to them. It's a really sad state of affairs, but there's something deep within them that refuses to pull themselves away. It's not the game's fault... it could be anything that is the object of their obsession.... but that's what it becomes, an addictive obsession.
I was addicted to Halo 2 for awhile. I'd play 4-5 hours a night easily and sometimes 20 hours in a weekend. Don't really know what it was, it was just fun. This was in between when I graduated and found a job. Since I started back in October, I don't think I've played it at all.
:jester I remember that.
Yeah, it would probably be that or something else. Actually a buddy of mine got so involved in Everquest that he dropped out of college. Once he quit that he plays world of warcraft now but it's not nearly as bad. People just get so caught up in the escape from reality.
eh, that's not an addiction, I could play any FPS that long, sometimes I still do if I catch a good BF2 or DoD server. Doing 40 hours of WoW in a weekend and 6-10 hours each night after work is an addiction. :laughing Luckily I've never been quite that into RPGs. I defiantly know when to put the mouse away.teamben158 said:
Yup, I remember that also. The submarines and catapults were the best. I'm downloading the game tonight for shits and giggles.
