Video Games are evil I played Games since I was 4 and it Took me 20 years Too beat The addiction maybe one day The rest of you will see The Truth one day and leave The Games behind
When our parents' generation dies, video games will be played by all. Maybe it is an addiction in some way, but it is simply the replacement of T.V, or any other source of entertainment. Welcome to the 21st century, this is what people will be doing for fun. Old people just have a hard time excepting that. Video games are a passion for me, I have been playing since I was 4, and I dont think anyone has the right to label this as a hazard.
I was doing ok in school getting mostly C but after starting to play videogames my grades actually got better as i could come home relax for an hour or two and then beginning to do my homework my grades gradually got better and when i quit school i was playing 4-6 hours a day getting only B and A. I to big parts can thank videogames for my good grades!!!
I think that wtf man,how can you become addicted to a video game?Seriously,wtf?
Can't you get your fatass out of your house and start jogging?Study,work,do something productive AND play videogames?You know,that's not mutually exclusive.
The reality is video games are just as bad as cigerettes (think about it). Cigerettes takes hours of your life that you cant take back, so do video games..Also playing all day for "minning gold" or "improving headshots" dont benifit you in life (no seriously they dont). if you want to be a good shot then use a actual gun, not a piece of plastic.
A common sign of having an addiction is denying you have one when clearly you do (i.e. saying i play video games every day but still live a active lifestyle, the FACT tho is that you play it every day)
those kids he is talking about (4:40-5:10) mostly are people called "Pro-Gamers" who make their living out of playing better then most of normal gamers (like me) and some are just fanatics, most of normal gamers who play for 1 hour (maybe 2) are NOT addicted, playing 1-2 hours is not addiction, in fact that's not even "hardcore gamer" style. this ppl just don't know what they are talking about :)
lsiten guys :/ this shit is true... i used to play video games on my laptop every now and then but since skyrim came out, i just cant stop playing it, when i do other stuff such as preparing for food, going shopping taking a dump, well... i think about what im gonna do in the game :/ this has become really weird for me,... i really feel like im addicted, no point lying to myself, im sure its gonna fuck up my life in the long term :(
Whatever i been playing video games ever since i was a little girl. I pretty much own every gaming system that came out except the Wii, because i personally don't like the Wii system. I would never change this hobby even if you gave me a million dollars. I'm gonna game to the day i die. lol
I play paintball,football I'm always with friends I play games maybe! 1 hour a day in the summer along with a job but in winter when it's 5ft snow and -30 I can't sit and play Xbox for like a whole after noon parents r fuckin dumb
on steam a video game website I've played 68 hours in the past two weeks its starting to get to my life all the life time hours on terraria,minecraft,skyrim,mw3,killing floor,half life two, all on my computer....
I do all my school work and chores, and I still do sports and hang out with friends and family. And yet I play for hours and hours. I've gone 2 months without my PS3, and I had no problem.
And also, people can watch TV for 5 hours, but GOD FORBID, you play a video game for 2 hours, and people act like you're killing yourself. Nothing is wrong with video games.
@xXGrimXDeathXx TV is more aweful than Video games, its a brain washing medium from coporate fuckers who wants to control and dumb down our mindsm I'd rather play video games.
@Jeromepsy001 I agree with the dumbing down part. When I was a kid, they had sort of educational shows. I watched Sesame Street when I was 5. Taught you the alphabet and how to count a little bit. But now kids watch Spongetard Dumbpants, or those other stupid shows. *sigh*
@xXGrimXDeathXx Yeah, Sponge is pretty funny sometimes but it became so phenomenal to children with all the dark and dumb humor, you may not believe me but school also conciously dumbs us down, check out john taylor gatto's video here in youtube who is a former teacher and he exposes purposes behind the structure of the curriculums in all levels of education.
haha the averaage person spends 30 minutes too 4 and half hours max a day on games some people take games too serious and should not play fun and social but i shower and sometimes have a extra wash every day people should never lose track of thier hygiene
It's unbelievable, I'ma girlgamer and there are many other girls who play video games. I get singled out all the time for playing video games on my xbox at the age of 16 it's not an addiction it's a hobby. I have 300+ games. And I still am healthy and able to maintain my job. So what if at weekends I like to send 30 hours on my xbox or infront of my computer playing minecraft. It's just a hobby.
On weekends I often play from 8:00 am to 10 pm with about 2 hours of interruptions.
Even with the immense 12 hours of games a day, i manage to get good grades and have a decent social life. Gaming hasn't affected me too much, other than the fact that I dont hang out with friends afterschool (I do however talk with several of my friends on skype while i play)
I love you America over react on everything bu their money system, which is really out of hand. I sit infront of the computer every day. I get more excited over a new game or computer than a nice meal. I work out 6 hours a week, under 3 days. Get good grades. Computer games don't ruin gamers, real life makes them sink in even more.
20. 14hrs/day to escape this shitty world. GG SOPA, GG. Also, it's a passion. ESPORTS is ever more prevalent in this day and age. For example, Starcraft 2. It's a sport. A way of life, just like NFL and the like, where you devote all your time into bettering yourself.
@cooltim11 dood thts okay i play as soon as i get home but if you do then take up a hobby that has alot of adrenalin in it im was addicted but now i dirt bike and down hill mountin bike just finde a sport like that or like say you like shooting games the go paint ballin or do airsofft or if you like arcade games then yore fucked but still try it and msg me back if i hellped or knot
I m 22 and I am playing warcraft 3 dota and many such a video games for 10-11 hours a day from last 7 years plz help me i dont want to end up like this.I lost my job because of this plz help me I am in India and I don know any kind of treatment I can get.
I -3 video games! I tend to play 1-2 hours every day, which is a lot. Yet I'm still a straight "A" student, especially in Science and Math. I guess I'm more of a "nerd", people might say. :P
this video changed my life i used to be addicted to games but then i put the xbox in the closet and haven't played for 2 weeks straight i feel great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I play video games like ever night for atleast 5-10 hours i still manage to eat drink shower go out have fun root people do burnouts in my car get into fights see my family. Or are they memories from grand theft auto
I've been playing video games my whole life. Its the best life ever, I feel sorry for people that miss out on epic stories like call of duty, trauma center, metal gear solid, etc. If I didn't have my video games I would just waste my time jacking off all day. So long losers
You can be addicted to gaming, just like you can be addicted to eating, but gaming is not an addiction. Games are recreation. You collect them, play them, and have socialization.
Scientists are stupid its not an addiction.People like games because its something that they can relate to.For example NBA 2K12 people like basketball so they play it.Grand theft Auto people like freedom to do what they want.Its not an addiction
I almost positive if your in high school, playing xbox (after your done with all the other stuff you do) won't kill you, just saying....its all about balance, and if you do enough things sometimes its just finally NICE to sit down and play for 4 hours at-least -_-
i'm 14 i have been playing video games since i was 2 i know i have video game addiction (i call it Gamer's Addiction) it's a tough habiit to break i lost my mind whenever i'm not playing Gamer's addiction is serious i use to be a honor roll student but ever since i got more into video games (3 years ago) my grades have slipped and i have been barely passing i'm not going to try to break it cause it's been a part of my life for so long if you start getting please just stop or you'll ruin you life
Well, it depends of the attitude of the guy after... If he starts insulting, or being non-social, then yes, their's a problem. But if nothing changes, than it's like a regular hobby. At least that's what I think.
Those teens probably have depression, that's why they play 'excessive' amount of games. Sometimes it's that or other things, but I was addicted because I had depression (for most of school life) but once I recovered from sever depression then I got my life together and 'slowed down' on how much games I play...I'm now 14 and I LOVE games... Anyone else excited for skyrim?
@1000colours I agree. I can say that gaming too much in my life has damaged my social skills(not saying this is universally true for everybody else). Its a very comfortable way to feel control and having clear and achievable goals. Ive just transferred my game-addiction into other behavioural addictions now(internet, whatever..)
i play halo reach on my xbox and that i play from 9am.or 10 am. (depends what time i wake up.) and stop when my mom or dad tells me to turn it off. This fucking damm addicition made me get all the damm warning signs from changing my behavior when i play reach and shit like that. Plz reply if any1 has the same issue as me
@kniteELF yeah i have all the signs except for a few physical ones lose my mind when i'm not playing video games or on the computer i admitted to everyone i know that i have gamer's addiction and most of them just ignored me once my grades go back up i know my parents will let me play for as long as i want like it use to be i've been play for 12 years (since i was 2 i've been playing video games from that age i can only remember the first video game i played) glad i found someone else like me
these asswhole say anything you drink to much your drunk you smoke to much you do to much coke your a cokehead all thoses things are no good cause harm even kills people when is the last time you heard of someone playing video games doing anything other than playing video games they dont hurt anyone the problem is if your really young you should be out there playing with your friends but i see no harm as long as you balance your life because too much of anything can destroy you
Being a teenage gamer, I just love watching these videos to see how much the media and parents overreact to video games. Only a small percentage of gamers play all day and constantly. A majority of gamers are casual gamers. I used to play a lot in middle school but now that I am in high school, I just don't have time to play. I want to but it's just impossible with homework, volleyball, boy scouts, and other extracurricular activities. I still get in 15 hours a week and I don't see a danger.
0:07 "pong - a simple game where a ball basically bounced between two sticks"
Uh oh, now more complex games exist - Quick. let's make up imaginary problems!
A game being "addicting" is the same type of "addiction" where a child wants to hear a bedtime story, or where you see a movie that's so good that you want to watch the whole thing at once. People that say these types of things don't play video games, so they don't really care what kind of bad / arbitrary / silly labels gaming gets.
@havocnuke9000 I know i play on pc to but it isn't build to play on it ( i know they have alienware and game software now but still isnt it a game console)
some ppl are just sick... we play games insted of THEM watching this most fucking riddicoules news!!
How about Tv watching? u dont even THINK when u watch tv.. playing games u use ur brain 10x more... u can get higher reflexes, thinking speed with playing high rate games ... like Tetris (as fast paste game)
I play about 3-4 hours a day but I talk to my friends on my xbox all the time. I still have an amazing social life. I missed dinner once or twice but it's not like I'm starving. They're just blowing this whole situation out of proportion.
maybe the real problem is the real world we live in but nobody thinks of that and everybody finds it easier to blame it on addiction over games alcohol drugs .... if life was better nobody would care about having control on a game, being happier with drugs, and feeling funny with drinks...
So? An athlete "addict" in any Sport that trains 6-8 hours a day...doesn't study at all or doesn't read much books...but yet they can get away with it? They get a lot of praise and attention by most people! While us Gamers get a bad rep from the Mainstream Media. ::SIGH::
Addiction has to do with the alteration of brain chemistry. Specifically chemicals that effect the reward center of the brain. Video Games don't cause this kind of reaction. This is science not an opinion. Lazy game design rely on human psychology to keep people engaged. This is not the same as addition.
@imafreakinninja12 That's noob talk,i play to win,I'm not a casual gamer. I've been playing video games sine 1988,and I will until the die i die,you noob. People who say it's just for fun,or it's just a game,usually suck at games.
i think it depends on the personality if you have an addictive personality then you will get hooked it doesnt matter what it is be it games,drugs,sex
So gaming is addicting eg? I dont think so because its not a drug that damages your health, so tell those noobtube reporters to shut up and pick up the controller and get what Is
I'm glad I gave up video games. To me they're a huge waste of time. But to each their own.

I almost positive if your in high school, playing xbox (after your done with all the other stuff you do) won't kill you, just saying....its all about balance, and if you do enough things sometimes its just finally NICE to sit down and play for 4 hours at-least -_-

Well, it depends of the attitude of the guy after... If he starts insulting, or being non-social, then yes, their's a problem. But if nothing changes, than it's like a regular hobby. At least that's what I think.

Wii? Seriously? I got one only for the 'party games' (and legend of Zelda) but not my console of choice... As if anyone got addicted to wii.

Those teens probably have depression, that's why they play 'excessive' amount of games. Sometimes it's that or other things, but I was addicted because I had depression (for most of school life) but once I recovered from sever depression then I got my life together and 'slowed down' on how much games I play...I'm now 14 and I LOVE games... Anyone else excited for skyrim?

@1000colours I agree. I can say that gaming too much in my life has damaged my social skills(not saying this is universally true for everybody else). Its a very comfortable way to feel control and having clear and achievable goals. Ive just transferred my game-addiction into other behavioural addictions now(internet, whatever..)

Being a teenage gamer, I just love watching these videos to see how much the media and parents overreact to video games. Only a small percentage of gamers play all day and constantly. A majority of gamers are casual gamers. I used to play a lot in middle school but now that I am in high school, I just don't have time to play. I want to but it's just impossible with homework, volleyball, boy scouts, and other extracurricular activities. I still get in 15 hours a week and I don't see a danger.

Uh oh, now more complex games exist - Quick. let's make up imaginary problems!
A game being "addicting" is the same type of "addiction" where a child wants to hear a bedtime story, or where you see a movie that's so good that you want to watch the whole thing at once. People that say these types of things don't play video games, so they don't really care what kind of bad / arbitrary / silly labels gaming gets.

maybe the real problem is the real world we live in but nobody thinks of that and everybody finds it easier to blame it on addiction over games alcohol drugs .... if life was better nobody would care about having control on a game, being happier with drugs, and feeling funny with drinks...

So? An athlete "addict" in any Sport that trains 6-8 hours a day...doesn't study at all or doesn't read much books...but yet they can get away with it? They get a lot of praise and attention by most people! While us Gamers get a bad rep from the Mainstream Media. ::SIGH::

Addiction has to do with the alteration of brain chemistry. Specifically chemicals that effect the reward center of the brain. Video Games don't cause this kind of reaction. This is science not an opinion. Lazy game design rely on human psychology to keep people engaged. This is not the same as addition.
