Start the discussion below.

The purpose of this forum is for people to acknowledge that they are, in fact, addicted to games. Remember, the Nile ain't just a river in Egypt. Fix the problem, you ask? No, no...I just want you to be at peace with what you are. Nothing needs to be fixed!

This is a great idea ...ill see if theyll give us a game addict sticy so we can all discuss are addiction and ways to get help... YEA RIGHT

Help what? Who needs to help anything. My name is Weezerzeke, I am a game-a-holic, and I love every minute of it. I'm poor, my eyes sting, and my thumbs are always sore, but -man alive- am I having a blast!

Thats the thing got to macke a declaration of bieng the Gameaholic's we are...Some ppl look at a few of us in differnet ways somtimes and its time for a place to let that kinda stuff out..

Im so addicted to games im in the process of getting a sleeve done :)
Call me a game geek! I will just shrug :P

I will not admit to being an addict, but I have been gaming since I was a wee lad playing pong, then I moved up to the 2600 and so on.

I have been playin since atari 2600 but recently i have found a ge gaming machine...it still works one of the first gaming systems before atari...it has three games on it pong,tennis,and soccer which are all pong ...LOL

But i know that i am addicted , and my family gives me a bunch of crap for it b/c thats just about all i talk about

since the xbox 360 came out played computer games alot more than used too cause of the gamer points , and xbox live , prob play even more when home comes out for ps3 :)

You can do it. I have faith you. The sooner you do it, the sooner I do it. Lets do it together...ready....go

FUZZ ...I'm ready too ...My eyes r so heavy b u t I c a n ' t stpooooooooph

no such thing as a video game addiction, its bullocks.

Definitely have a game problem here it's not an issue for me but others would say it is not that I really care.

I used to have a pretty bad addiciton. I know its not a physical addiciton but it is definetaly mental. I mean I know kids who devote 10-12 hours a day on XBL. Truthfully I dont have that much time in my day with school, homework, and lacrosse.

I play games alot but I can pull my self off when needed. I do have a social lile outside of gamin.

I hate to admit. But back then when I was playing Everquest. Yeah I had a severe case of addiction. The whole spazzing out over things happening that did not make sense. As in I hear something which is now known to be sound card issues. And I was going ballistic trying to figure it out and argue with my parents as to how its the pc and not the game.

The actually came near to canceling my subscription back then. Cause I was "that" addicted. Social Wise. It wrecked me. Staying on it 24/7 just about. playing sick as much as I can just to play EQ. Boy do I regret those days. Lost myself a decent education and diploma later on in life.

But as of today. Its not as "that bad" as it was then. Sure if a game I anticipate for a long time hits store shelves or my pre-order is ready for pickup. Then I would spend a good amount (most likely up to a day and a half or so without sleep. Trying to finish it in one go) on the game.

Most recent one that had the effect of that..... Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Yes addicted and proud...Yes effects my life, makes it that much better

If I didn't have my addiction to video games, I wouldn't be with my bf.. I probably wouldn't be sane. So yes it affected my life, for the better.

i'm in therapy for my VG addiction (ok, not really, but someone should make a mockumentary video about that)
