Gaming Addiction

[Dargoth_Draconia]

Also for the addiction part, sure video games can be addictive but I would rather the people I know be addicted to video games instead of being addicted to Meth or Coke or other stupid crap that is a lot more harmful. I believe everybody is addicted to something and how far they go with it totally depends on the personality of the person in question. Plus many of my fond childhood memories involve sitting around a TV with 3 other friends playing some Goldeneye 007 or playing Final Fantasy 7 for the first time and some would've called me a video game addict but it was my hobby of choice. Who gives anyone the right to judge a person based on what they like to do because they deem it immoral by the standards of somebody else, it's not physically healthy and true enough it is not but don't say it is wasting your childhood because for many people playing video games makes them feel young again.

Look at some of the hardcore Asian people that play these MMOs, they are in shape and play more than most of us do. They also work full time jobs and some have a family yet they still manage their love for their hobby. I don't think gaming is bad or really so much an addiction but just like anything else you need some self control and discipline so it doesn't become an addiction.
