Im on 2 days of quiting gaming cold turkey. I wish there was a place like that around here.

 

[Powermoloch]

I love games, but not like those guys :roll: geez, they need a life !

 

[MisterJackson]

I'd stand outside selling DS's and PSP's 😀

I bet there were times when I was playing MMO's that you'd show that to me, i'd scoff.. then seriously.. seriously ponder it.

Amsterdam. There's a city you wanna detox in!

Video games may look innocent, but they can be as addictive as gambling or drugs

What a load of trash. Heroin, cocaine, and amphetamines are physically, chemically, addictive. Your body _needs_ the drug to function, it is not imaginary.

Hopefully those guys meet some real addicts while they're there and realise how small their own problems are.

Wasn't there a guy in Asia who wouldn't stop playing an on-line game, and died from doing it non-stop? No food, or something like that?
