You could consider playing games as much as we do, or surfing forums and addiction. And you pay for the games part!

I'm not saying that we're all addicts, but from the perspectives of other, we may be. I know people who think that I am addicted to games, and if you take it from a perspective of "not being able to stop" then I think many of us would be - myself included.

I mean, we all love gaming.


- I just woke up, I didn't sleep well, and I had a killer stomachache (you know, the kind that makes you think you're gonna die?) so feel free to ignore anything I said. If it makes sense.

yes, but most of us aren't addicted in the WoW sense. We don't need to level up, to be online all the time playing one game.

I haven't hit TF2 for 2 nights now, and that's not uncommon. I go in spurts, sometimes I'll hit it for 2 weeks without missing a night, other times I won't really care. But it's not an addiction, where I need it.

I need coffee. I don't need games or porn. I just like ... games.

People needing therapy from WoW addiction is stupid. People dying from non stop WoW is even worse.

porn is just a good way to learn more sex positions to impress or scare your lady with Those who are addicted and don't get laid, I feel bad for.. but for those who play or are even addicted to WoW.. that's ridiculous. It's a game where you're an elf, wizard or mage or some shit.. and you have to level up and go on quests.. it's not educational like porn

I think the Doctor is right.

Most of you made valid points though. Most addictions are bad..

im curious, whats the definition of being addicted to porn?

[CoffeeShark]

any addiction is a compulsion - you can't help but do it, and if you don't, it eats at you until you can get back to it.

man, I really need to get back to TF2, I'm dying to play again.
