Obleku Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Yes but some things are more addictive than others... like gambling...

braineaterknux Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Oh, I love it how they refer to consoles as "computers" and to a classic game such as Super Mario Bros. as a mindless game...

neogeon Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - games are not mindless you fucking cunt! video games take problem solving and reaction skills far beyond what most other forms of entertainment and early life experiences have to offer.

Aug 21, 2008 - This kid dos not represent all gamers. Some gamers are responsible and some are not. Games can be relaxing , exciting and intriguing. You cant play a video game with out using your mind so its (not) mindless. However you can watch TV with out using your mind. And Il bet you watch TV. Just use videogames wisely and you will be fine.

jubailblast Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - so playing Mario for 4 hours a day was considered addiction??Wait till they see the 12-hours-a-day-playing-WoW-retards.

britesideofdeath Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - Pfffff 4 Hours a day is nothing. Maybe for a game like that, however for MMO's its NOTHING.
