who here has video game addiction [?]

[SociallyChallenged]

It's called making friends and going outside. I'm not kidding. Find a healthier habit and chug along with it.

I have never heard of that game before.

Starcraft. Are you really too stupid to figure that out yourself or are you being intentionally obtuse like usual?

Well, in OdiN's defense, I have heard of Starcraft but I did not get the reference from StarKraK (Shouldn't it have been Starcrack?).

MotionMan

same here. or possibly Odin does not play video games. In fact, I'd say about 98% of my friends would return a blank stare if I mentioned Starcraft.

Hell, I've only ever played starcraft for about 5 minutes.

Yup... I'm an addict. The only reason I have severely cut back is because of my first born. Now I only game a few hours a day.

1 Get a timer , like the xmas light one and set 1 hour
2 install timer away from computer
3 run a long extension cord
4 plug monitor power into said extension cord
5 when the monitor goes out, you have to get up and reset timer


won't do anything for your addition, but at least it makes you take body break.

I did. Beat it by stop playing video games.
No, really, its that simple. Just stop.

I used to play my NES and SNES non-stop when I was younger. My dad beat my addiction for me by making me mow the lawn and other such nonsense. When I was older he told me I had to get a job.

Recently I beat the addiction on my own. I stopped.
I would read a book or go for a jog, or (best of all) go to places that have girls. Then I would meet girls. And talk to them. Freaky stuff but it was fun and adventurous too.

Much more personally fulfilling than video games. Made me feel like I had a life. Good stuff.

I used to be an addict. Starcraft was awesome, played it for several years when it came out, but it's all gone now. I'm quite bored of games now. Too much of the same old same old FPS games. New games seem to be not much more than just a graphics update to me.
Spore is probably the only game as of late that looks interesting, but I haven't even bothered with it yet.

If you're a Warhammer 40K fan, you'll know that KRAK comes from a particular naming of a special type of missile.

And yes, I'm a tyranid player, er, used to be, Blizzard took the best of me from Games Workstop, the monopoly company of table top gaming. I had the old Hive Tyrant, omg, I painted him to perfection.. (I know it sounds nerdy)

I moved out and still found the addiction present. All you gotta do is tell yourself: 'fvck this, I live away from family and I'm on my own, I will live as I please.'
So hell, I played video games, nonstop, my room mates didn't give a shi*. In the end, I was like, I better stop fvckin' around and take life more seriously.

 

[AmigaMan]

Get a Mac. Seriously, we have like no games so all I can do is like surf the internet and watch youtube videos of commercials that say how much better I am than poor PC. Hello, I'm a Mac and I'm bored...

 

[Rubycon]

Move to a place that gets lot of lightning.

one addiction for another?

 

[meltdown75]

i used to play a lot of TFC and Half-Life, and Duke 3D before that...

addictive personalities just trade up for another addiction...

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Just go for it. Starcraft is awesome. You'll burn out eventually

I said that my senior year of high school. No avail, post-grad from that.

 

[KeithTalent]

Definitely not addicted, all of my vices I can stop or start at anytime without difficulty.
