  • It is a strong form of addiction. People smoke, drink, use drugs or play to escape the crude reality. I used to play WoW in my free time which was about 4-7 hours a day. Then I realized I was flushing my life down the toilet. I started learning the guitar and my addiction to music substituted gaming. I will say only this: find a small addiction like art or music and use it to rid yourself of the hell that is a gamer's life.

  • noobs

  • fucking losers.

  • 1:10 only 14-16 hours? n00b

  • I hardly managed to watch this documentary. Was too busy playing wow.

  • i played world of Warcraft for an entire month with a friend of mine

    all we did was screwing around but the gameplay was boring and repeatable

  • @zupergozer yep i couldnt get into the game myself. I just got bored so quickly.

  • Four people I knew lost their jobs and their relationships from being addicted to World of Warcraft....which is why I've never ONCE played it. I'd rather spend a few hours creating something - writing, etc. - then waste hours of my life playing a game. I've just never been a "gamer" - I've played a few games, maybe one or two a year, and I don't begrudge people who play them; it's just not for me. It's the same reason I got rid of my TV; it's so easy to sit and flip instead of being productive.

  • @dasheight My one friend failed out of college because of Adam Lambert. Or rather, her listening to his then newly released CD. She literally listened to it 15 hours a day. She skipped every class she had .. which led to her flunking out. On the flip side, I play MMORPGs constantly .. but I built my career around it. I suppose it all depends on just what can hook you into something and if you have the ability and drive to pull away.

  • Sounds like 'The Guild' :/

  • marrying in world of Warcraft is just rock bottom

  • humans are versatile... apply this to everything.

    if i go back in time and steal a baby from 1500's, ignoring all the events that may have changed from this child being stolen... i could raise this baby in our current society and you would never be able to pick him/her out of a crowd. everything you think is normal is a lie... there is no normal, only what is normal to you, because it was what you grew up around... people can get very strange ideas about things youd never expect.

  • ZWILLINGER!!! OMG to funny.

  • SEARCHING DEOREX ON (KASKUS.US)...LIHAT DAN BUKTIKAN!!

  • i remember when i enjoyed WoW

  • my dad is addicted to cigarettes and alcohol, but yet he calls me lazy and tells me its wrong to be a virtual gamer.

  • video games are supposed to be relaxing but if u play it to a point where u wanna kill yourself theres something very very very wrong

  • like the girl said "their is a line" even excessive playing can sometimes not cross that line, if its something you truly love doing why let someone else tell you its wrong

    As long as you have a goal in real life and are progressing towards that goal, then gaming is fine

  • kind of funny how most of people in this vid are ugly women fat/ugly/bald guys lol no wonder they buried themselves in video games

  • I don't get the effort put into the "gaming is/is not an addiction" argument. It will never be a DSM-IV classified addiction, with rigidly defined causes and symptoms.

    Who cares anyway. Someone who games excessively, to the detriment of other people/responsibilities in their lives, has a problem. Having some official DSM-IV stamp does not give the issue any more merit/validation. Nor would it help those people find a way to turn off their computers.

  • i hate games that require such commitment to it. i bought Final Fantasy XI ( mostly because of the name Final Fantasy) back when it came out, i played a few times (for about a month, once or two times during my weekends) and then i totally stopped. MMO are definetely not for me.

  • winning!

  • I rather do drugs all fucking day than play wow

  • @BigHashTouraj You do that, and tell us how your body feel then. okay? :)

  • @Mallegay it feels Better than playing world of Warcraft

  • @BigHashTouraj So does being fucked. But I don't spend my whole life getting fucked. Drugs is immature and unnecessary. So eat my pussy.

  • @Mallegay go head cunt.

  • @BigHashTouraj Exactly!

  • I HEAR BY PROCLAIN I WILL CONTINUE SMOKING WEED EVERYDAY AND PLAYING WOW EVERYDAY FOR THE HONOR OF THIS SHITTY W/BE MOVIE

  • i've quit them both, WoW/Drugs, but man was it rough...

  • @a1m05tg0n3 shoot WoW ON drugs was the best for me. heh. I guess I grew up.

  • I can relate to this. So I am stoked to see it =)

  • Drugs don't have to be ingested.

  • Drugs can fuck you up in the long run. But you can have a spiritual experience on drugs. You can connect with people and music and your surroundings in a profound way.

    Lots of the people in this docu don't look right in the head.

  • @DrunkenPoetic That is if you believe in the "spirit". You can connect with people and music with out drugs.

  • The word "spirituality" doesn't necessarily entail dualism.

    As for the second part of your comment, I never said you couldn't.

  • @DrunkenPoetic Then why would you need the drugs?

  • it is medically impossible to be addicted to a game...there is no medical or scientific proof...That guy could possibly have an addictive personality, but other than that you can quit when ever you want...however the game is good so you don't want to quit...Also that guy should stop crying about killing himself....just do it no one will care

  • @wowalinbie Are you retarded? Ever heard of Psychology?

  • @TheMaraudingRevenant yes i have heard of psychology and there is 0 proof that a game can be addicting.....because if a game is addicting it is addicting to everyone not just you or him

  • @wowalinbie where did you find out that it's IMPOSSIBLE to be addicted to a game?... i will believe you if you told me where you read/saw it...

  • @wowplayerandmore I have read and saw it nowhere because there are no medical articles that say games can be addicting thus making it not addictive also if a game was addictive everyone would be addicted and seeing as I am not playing a game I am not addicted and seeing how millions of others stop playing games it isn't unless you are the problem.

  • @wowalinbie Few things false with your statement. Even if there was no evidence of gaming being addictive it doesn't mean that it isn't addictive. I believe a few hundred years ago there was no evidence the the world was round and yet it is. Games are still relatively new. Studies are still being done to see long-term detrimental effects.

    Secondly, not all addictive things effect everybody the same way. Some people are more prone than others. Some become addicted to aspects that others don't.

  • @druvirus In 1940's a man thought that he was the best and decided that even though there was no evidence that he was right he would do something. This lead to the mass murder of the Jewish people and a World War. So by your reasoning because there is no evidence that germans aren't better (i.e. there is no evidence that video games aren't addictive we should do something) So your a nazi?

  • @wowalinbie Way to take something I said completely out of context. Bravo. You also never finished your sentence, "So by your reasoning because there is no evidence that German's aren't better .. " what? Because there is no evidence they aren't better .. what's the end of this question?

    If I said the solution to online gaming addiction was mass-genocide .. then yes, I would be a nazi. But that isn't .. really at all anything to do with this, is it? As nothing of this sort has been said, at all.

  • @druvirus sorry for my grammar and sentence structure. It was like 4am when i wrote that. and English isn't my first language. But anyway my point is nothing is true untill it has tangable proof. So untill doctors proove a addictive property that actually adds a chemical or directly effects your brain (good or bad) But currently there is no research that definitively states video games have actual addictive properties

  • @wowalinbie What I am saying .. is that there is currently no proof because all of the studies done have been based on short-term effects. Not long-term. Simply because online gaming as we currently experience it has not been out long enough for conclusive tests to be done.

    Are you going to try to throw another badly scripted analogy at me? After I gave a rather .. nicely-written and well thought out response? Because mine actually sounds .. smart. Your response .. sounds stupid. To be blunt.

  • @wowalinbie A person can be addicted to almost anything.

  • @o94ght no a person can not wont to stop at anything just because you dont want to stop doesnt mean your an addict

  • rl sucks anyways

  • If you ever play an MMO, play it no more than 1 hr week. After 12 months, having still not made it very far, imagine at all that time you would need to spend to get anywhere in the game. Look at all you have in your life, even if its not much, belongings, a home. Maybe a job or relationship or children. Be glad you still have it all. Now gather it all up and throw it all away. What? Why not?

  • I think the problem with a lot of these "documentaries" is that they blame the game instead of the person. Someone with an addiction to a video game or almost anything that is not physically habit forming (like cigarettes) for that matter--most likely has some seriously underlying mental issues that need to be dealt with. I also hate that people use these to paint all gamers with the "addicted, no-lifer" brush.

  • Watched this last night.

    Great documentary, but fuck me those people need to get a life...

  • I play world of warcraft, its fucking awsome. But look, you retards need to take these steps, 1-join a gym,2-Take some steroids,3- go out to fucking night clubs and get laid.

  • i'd rather be addicted to drugs than an mmo

  • lolz... I play games to balance out my school and studying which takes me 10 hours a day...

  • @DXSXDXSXD lol faggot can't think of a comeback

  • @DXSXDXSXD lol faggot youtube troll

  • in my own personal experience, there is an underlying reason to game addiction.... being too lazy to make the best of your life. it's really an addiction to comfort and easy, substitute gratification - not the video games themselves. i think many of them have real educational and skill building value.

  • I think a more interesting documentary about MMO's would be about the making of them rather than focusing on people who get addicted... the real questions to ask behind MMO's should be, "how did these games come about? what did it take to make these games? what does this mean for the future of games?"

    just my opinion

  • Nice video production, awful video content.

  • i'm so glad i've never found video games that addicting. i love them, but holy shit on a shingle...

  • I love MMOs

    but why is every American gamer a huge sterotype?

  • i am addicted to MW2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Played WoW for 2 years like every day now I'm 18 and I have better things to do than playing this shit!

  • FUCKING LOL

  • PS: any games out there have bed/chair sores??? If you do then you match the same physical problems as people in their 80s and 90s that are imobile not due to choice. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ELECTRICITY WAS MISSING FOR 2 WEEKS? Go into rehab or oh I dont know shower and go for a jog! Take a risk where harm/injury are possibilities without the safety of a screen.JUMP FEEL YOUR LUNGS EXPAND!!

  • basement dwellin nikkuhz

  • I thought people played video games because they were... I don't know... BORED?! Seriously, no one I know plays video games because they like to pretend they're so cool, they play them because the game is fun to play and the story line seems cool. People who don't know shit about games have no right to talk about them, and this company is no exception.

  • i just wanna watch this for the gameplay clips lolz

  • i rather be addicted to an mmo than to drugs

  • why not both :O?

  • @weaselswithmeasles I've been addicted to both and I'll say first hand that drugs are a whole lot more fun in the long run...within reason.

    No lie.

  • @weaselswithmeasles Red herring...

  • @weaselswithmeasles And isn't it better to not be addicted to both drugs and games?

  • @weaselswithmeasles the social effects of mmo are more dangerous than drugs and much much less productive

  • @bazzamataz72 Yeah mom, The social problems allready existed

    and are not a cosequence of gaming, are a consequence that led

    to gamming execively, besides what's does a non gammer know about it's effects?

  • @Safeguarded Your a very mean person. To be honest, i personally kow a gamer. I live with one, ad he has no idea what he is doing to his life. He can't see it like i can. You can't just say its ok to game because of the past, the point is to help for the future. If someone as a problem gaming then they need help. problems will always exist, but it doesn't give people the right to ruin there lives and blame other people for it. Non-gamers know more effects then games because they see it.

  • @CuteSceneChic I'm sorry if I seemed cocky, that was not my intention

    My point is that, how people perceive what others

    are doing as excessive or wrong is very relative

    and since videogames don't have any addictive

    substance as drugs or other products do, calling it

    an addiction is subjective, and videogames have

    personal benefits that may not be visable to a observer,

    Who focuses it through his own perception, and makes

    conclusions based only on that...

  • @Safeguarded As a former MMO player, I can contest that videogame addiction can be grouped with other types of addiction. Psychological need for something is addiction such as food, sex, or internet. If grades suffer, if you call out of work, if you research game info while at work, if you miss getting together with your family on holidays and special occasions, if you neglect to tend to your housework...if any number of these things apply to you, then you're probably an addict.

  • @Dreamewalker, really addicted to videogames? wow gets boring really fast. Ironically, i leveled up my character to lvl 40 in a week....

  • @Dreamewalker addiction is a strong word, i call it willingfull weakness. Its accepting you cant have self control. Its nothing like physical dependency of alcohol, heroin, cocaine or amphetamines. Two completely different things.

  • @CuteSceneChic Kind of just opinion as to how someone is ruining their life. They can live exactly how they want and unless they are physically or mentally damaging themselves I don't see it as "ruining" their life if they are content.

  • ITS ANDY!

  • I've seen many a friend disappear thanks to Word of Warcraft. Moreso than I have with heroin and coke. It's a shame really.

  • yeah I play WoW but only if I get some spare time. Priorities are college and work above anything. WoW is fine if you don't abuse it.

  • Horrible film. A "Trojan horse" of a documentary that seems to spread a strong anti-gaming bias; as if they were trying sneak in a "The More You Know" anti-drug commercial into a package gamers would want to watch. By the half-way point in the movie, the personas being filmed are slanted towards the worst stereotypes and insinuations - as if to show the "downward spiral"

    Why they would even bother with that uneducated/unlicensed "MMO Rehab by Jesus" clown as a testimonial is beyond me.

  • @Sinuev1

    There is a ton of good and surprising research into the behavioral, social, and psychological aspect of online gaming/virtual worlds from which they could have made a great film. Instead, it looks more like a "This is your brain on Drugs" plea, or worse - like the ignorant fear mongering 1980's "Aids Plague" documentaries when little was known about HIV.

  • @Sinuev1 i dont think u really get it..u see it as an anitgaming thing...when really its more like play your games have fun and be alive on this planet earth....these arnt ppl who get on for an hour or so when they get off work or what not..its ppl who spend more than half a day doing this one thing...not moving their bodys from one position..come on dude really..u dont see a problem in that...

  • @Sinuev1 and as for the "surprising research"..i think its horrible that ppl log on to find a soulmate...or to make a shit ton of friends that doesn't go past the circuits...get out there go to a fair a concert..a bar meet REAL ppl...do REAL things with them....at least those ppl on the doc finally meet each other...and ur comparing it to aids doc's...i mean they do that to prevent a plague..bc we all know that humans go out and breed like rabbits..

  • @Sinuev1

    So you're saying you haven't actually seen the film you're talking about?

  • it very sad an unfortunate that this synthetic world has become life for some people, like my love for the Sims, i was very careful to keep the balance an now i will live in real life with my fiance on an island paradise swimming an livng near a beach so beautiful with the blue sky to match, there is nothin like livin authentically, my advise,, live real or less suffer a fate much like a ghost,, cause the game will surely suck u in it is design to do just that*

  • moar like second chin

  • People tend to assume everyone who plays and MMO is a nutcase. I would have to say World of Warcraft kept my relationship with my girlfriend alive. When she moved back to college not long after we met, we picked up copies of WoW so we would have something to do together even when we couldn't be together. After three years of college and two years living together we're happier than ever, thanks in part to an MMO :P

  • @Ky1eGames Hear hear. I left my home country to go and work in Germany and my girlfriend could not come along with me. WoW (or insert any MMO here) was just another way for us to keep in touch and interact and have fun together.

  • i play WoW like all the time and im nothing like these ppl...These guys are just stupid...

  • MMos are shit, stop playing wow you fags

  • first of all online games are TOOOOOOOOOOOOONS of fun. On top of that apart from real life noone IN game is born with chunk of money for doing nothing, noone is creep with no leg or something. All born equal. And even if u have tons of money or your dad is president u want get things without actualy doint something in THAT world. That ALL on top of game giving LOADS of FUN. Think.

  • @Vitallevur MMO's simply aren't right I play games like FPS occassionally, but you say all born equal, it's not real and this addition is as bad or worse than Alcoholism and Drug addition because so many people who play just sit and play for a day then a week. If you were meant to play these games all day why would you have legs you wouldn't need them. Essencially no-one who plays MMO's will listen because your all blinded and hypnotised by it all.

  • video games are sort of a way for people to escape the real world like if people are stressed they will play a game to relax blow off some steam but some people cross the line and they live off the game

  • I agree.

  • @terminator734 You must admit this is very easily done!

  • My friends roommate had an addiction to Diablo. He never stopped playing except to open the door for the pizza guy and use the bathroom. So sad, but I guess to each his own.

  • Humans want to be more than what they are inside a computer??? What an illusion of power they must feel. Losers.

  • @ Xello998

    Who the hell are you to judge anyone? I think we know who the real loser is here.

  • Yup

  • funny how they're all fat

  • 30% of all americans is overweight prolly even more now

    that has little to do with video games

  • fuck WOW

  • LOLZ

  • I saw this movie when it was being made.

    It's awesome.

  • Great movie! Watch it

  • I love to play video game's.

    (consoles/mmo's) I would never let that get in the way of real life/ family time. If you have a problem. Don't be ashamed or too proud to admit a problem.

    Seek professional help and prioritize.

  • dude all of my interviews are a lie, you can tell they are edited to appear different then they actually are, look at the part I mention suicide how the screen flickers and my voice slurs, it was edited, the part about pissing in bottles was because of a back injury and other parts of me saying something bad you'll hear my voice but either see the back of my head or scenes like my house. I wouldn't care but these fucking pricks went behind my back and used my real name.

  • Dan all that you mentioned, I didn't notice.

    All I noticed was a person's life was effed up by wow and you got better.(prioritize)

    Learn from that experience and grow from it, don't become bitter. Just move on.

  • @DarkFoot25 it was reedited to look like games were the fault when it was a back injury instead.

  • @DarkFoot25 lol you can tell from the clip on here that it was reedited. Why do you think it switches back and forth from the game to the interview and the voice slurs?

  • i play gunbound.. im a hardcore mmo gamer... not hahhaha, but i do enjoy mmo, but mostly gunbound

  • i couldn't find it there ????

  • i found love in an mmorpg and it became my love irl!!!

  • basement dwellers....

  • yeah

  • that was a nice video.

    oh- breaks over, back to WoW

  • i like the music in the background, what the name of it?

  • Honestly, i've found that when I'm stoned world of warcraft is great.  I guess i'm an addict.

  • I think its a documentary for people that have more than three brain cells active at one time.

    However, gotta agree, it does kinda make all gamers look like "ugly ass nerds" - cuz its obviously impossible to be good lookin (which is important to siniztar, clearly) and have enough of a brain to think in depth about society / what makes people act the way they do...

    I'm sorry, im dragging you bck on here, i'll let you get back to watchin 2 fast 2 furious Siniztar

  • @Siniztar88

    - the same people who would rather not look at a bunch of primitive pathetically moronic jocks.

  • gosh, gotta get that DVD!

  • They appear to be unsanitary and possibly septic.

  • games are real man, When your on Acid

  • What does your sexual orientation have to do with this video?

  • The way the most popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft seem to work, is almost religious... or play on the brain's capacity for religion(it's not needed, but easy to fall into).

    Like with many religions, it makes people feel more powerful(at church/in the game) than in reality and amongst others.

    We have the capacity to avoid such things, or even be a part of it without getting lost/caught up in it... as Humans. To abuse that capacity, is to resort to being a primate :D

  • Thanks for the insight. I never thought about mmorpgs like that ,but it makes complete sense. Tis ashame that the world has handed over their lives to such things. Looks like we aren't to far off from being surrogates.

  • @Globalistvoid

    - heh, well humans have a biological predisposition to think like that... it's why religion exists, and why trekkies exist :D and all those geeks who went to Everquest conventions, etc.

  • It's part of escapsim. People now days are just so damn sheltered that they have no clue what life is really about. they would much rather have someone create a life for them to live ,instead of creating a life of their own. Once again religion is there screaming I thought of it first. The moment someone makes a church of warcraft ,or second life if the day that i will go on a one man campaign to destroy the internet and the surogate mindset it fills people with.

  • @Globalistvoid

    - heh, like I said... natural selection gave us many skills to navigate our world... and a by-product(or as I like to call it, a waste product :D) of these skills is religious-thinking, fanboyism, faith without reason, anecdotal evidence over empirical evidence, etc etc...

    They are natural to our DNA...

    But as we know, with Nature vs. Nurture... if you stay ignorant, you're all nature... if you gain enough intelligence, nurture takes over and you can tame these skills.

  • @Globalistvoid

    How can anyone have a clue of what life is about.

    Your understanding and ideas will be different to that of others, and you shouldn't really judge people with your or anyone elses standards, even if it is that of the majority, it doesn't make it any more correct.

  • All you have to do is look outside to know what life is about. It's not about all the fakeness that things like rpgs fill people with. It's like people are being programmed to think that they aren't worthy so they need to go ahead and create the life they want through warcraft and the like. The problem I have with these games is that is keeps people Alive in the Mind ,Dead In Actions. How can we spiritually evolve if we know nothing of the beauty beyond our monitors??????

  • Beauty is subjective.

    As soon someone starts talking about spirituality, i'm sorry, but i just really couldn't care less about what they have to say, kind of invalidates it for me.

  • Then that shows an inability to learn and grow. Spirituality is different than religon. It's an innerconnection that we can feel. Regardless of what we all think ,the spiritual nature rules this world. Hell it's even put into all those horrible games that destroy people's lives. be close minded it's ok. It just makes you no different than a redneck refusing to believe black folk aren't nothitng more than monkey's.....

  • You're a full on salad, you really are.

  • whatever that means. I just know that i don't waste my days away with guild wars or whatever it is mmorpg players do. You're a spiritual creature bud. Whether you want to deny it or not. The world is run on spiritual ideas ,that's a fact. Not all are good ,but if we go back to the ancient ways of simplicity in spiritual nature ,then we wouldn't need crap like wow.

  • Science doesn't know everything, but it doesn't mean you can fill the gaps with whatever rubbish takes your fancy. Just becasue you beleive and feel something, doesn't mean its there.

  • No gamer actually believes that they are their avatar or they are living a life through their character. They are honestly just playing to have fun. I do agree that people should realize the beauty (completely subjective) beyond their monitors, but I don't agree that people are programmed to feel bad and then try to live some kind of life through video games. Most gamers just play to entertain themselves, even if it gets out of hand.

  • That's where I have the problem with these games. All gamers are doing is entertaining themselves. No active creation ,and no link to realize a connection with the world around... You only make what the programmers let you make. it's all very limiting ,and absolutely mind numbimg. Why would you want to play wow at all actually???? It's horrible.... i don't get it. Then again I love life and who it is I am so i will never ever get it i spose.....

  • So why would you want to play an mmo anyway, for entertainment. It doesn't really matter if the game is 'limiting', all things are in some way. Mmo's are equally unproductive as watching T.V (not educational) or playing any other video game. In fact, some video games are even less productive. In fact, most things we do are mainly for entertaining ourselves. Sports and reading are both for entertainment, although they can be productive in physical and mental ways.

  • Sir, I am not am MMORPG gamer, but your long ass comments are pissing me off. STFU and stop pretending you are cool.

  • I'm not trying to be cool. I'm sorry if I offend you but I never forced you to read these comments.

  • YEH BS BSS BS SBS BSBSBSB. STop fucking lyign to this world . You ignorant fuck. Go suck a dick. LOL U DICK

  • Next time I'll be sure to use 4 letter words you can understand.

  • I do completely understand what your thinking though, and yes video games (not just wow) have ruined people's lives, but honestly, that's just 'some' people, not all video game players. If you want to be unproductive and sit there playing video games for however long, that's fine as long as your not hurting yourself, or as long as it doesn't get too out of control.

  • i completely agree i played world of warcraft till lvl 59 back a couple years ago and was "addicted" to the joy of getting new armor being the best i didn't play cause i needed it i played because it was fun i played because it was something to do.. and it can always get out of hand but i havent played in years and dont have a "withdraw" from it lol.. great game i had late nights that i would never take back in that game its just to much fun to say i wasted my life although i did :(

  • Fun game, just can't let it get too out of hand. I remember those all nighters hehe

  • It feels so weird... I remember playing MMORPGs when they were a new concept, yes... including MUDs and even Meridian 59 :D

    It's changed so much, so fast... and it seems to be going downhill now :D it was going up for about a decade, and then we hit the new millenium and it's all going downhill as every company is jumping on the MMORPG bandwagon, fighting to be the most addictive/pathetic gaming experience.

  • This looks rather interesting. However one bleedingly obvious flaw is the distribution. This is only avilable to the US and Canada.

    I'm also a fan of the web television philosophy of watch it online and if you really enjoy it, you buy it. Although it sounds like a gamble it has proven successful with web film content.

    But still, make it available outside North America.

  • @PerryRadicaTV

    - it's easier to make it available online :D if you're watching it for the same reason it was made, you'll have the internet and understand how to watch it online, lol.

  • YO chunkies get of of the computer and start jogging

  • well i play world of warcraft like 2 hours every other day so this movie looks pretty good since i can relate to playing games.

  • fatso at 1:00

  • only ugly people in this vid.

  • One is addicted to sex, other to drugs, other to work, other to games etc, what difference does it make, whole life is an "addiction". Noone has rights to judge that someone's lifestyle, if that someone is fine with it.

  • Well, the dude who was trying to kill himself wasn't very fine with it. And I'd be sorry for that poor little baby if their parents were just playin' WoW or whatever 24/7 when their child was born instead of playing with their child. They would might be "fine with it", but I would sure as hell judge them to the moon anyways. Think before typing, plz.

  • Was that "think before typing" directed to me? My comment was directed to all the commenters here, it is not your damn problem what someone else does with their life. Indeed, if parents don't have time for the children, they shouldn't have had children at all. Such parents are just childish, big kids. But people who are talking that gamers are losers/nerds/people without lives, grow up aswell idiots. Playing some game or reading good books is more reasonable "life" to me than most of your lives.

  • @Vembumees No, an "addiction" is clearly a pathological condition, either psychological or even physical, it is an extreme situation.

  • People are entitled to ANY AND EVERY opinion, including JUDGING someone else.EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE= you do it on a daily basis. Negative comments regarding games like these is that=Its not just a game, its a lazy, isolated,sedentary NON-SOCIAL (and no I dont fucking mean a screen physical social contact) It ruins lives its a form of escapism thats too easily disregarded as just a game.When an addiction negatively affects others IT IS HARMFUL then and should be dealt with.

  • @ca34jun Annoying troll made me to read some completely stupid lines full of errors after 11 months of making the post...

  • @ca34jun you are an idiot, I am a gamer and I have a perfectly normal life outside of games, I have friends outside of games, I am attending college (soon to be creating game characters and environments) and I have a job, which I do think is a bit frivolous, I can be social when I wish to be. I choose not to be because of people like you. Take a look at what you are saying and think of how others are perceiving you as through your words.
