i have an addiction with assassin's creed 2 when i was 9 one day i rushed down stairs at 5 am played the game until i was called for breakfast i wolfed it down sprinted upstairs changed my clothes hardly brushed my teeth ran downstairs until lunch time i pretended to be sick so i didn't have to eat anything ran down stairs and played then suddenly my eyes started hurting but i carried on when i went up for tea i felt a pain in my eyes i got some ice and put it on my head i had eye damage
part 4 on the first day of 2011 i decided (with help from my parents and mates i was going to start fresh and get a life) it worked for 2 months, then 2 of my freinds told me to try Ultimate Team on Fifa 11 (the british veiwers will probley know what it is) then i was addicted to fifa 11 for about 6 months, and from then i have been playing roughly 5 hours a day on my ps3.... and thats my life :)
part 3 i woke up went down stairs had a cup of tea and had some cerial, went in the bathroom and freshend up, went up to my bedroom played untill 2 in the afternoon and then i went downstairs and had lunch, cleaned my teeth,went back upstairs played untill 5, and i came downstairs had dinner went upstairs and played until half 11 and i went downstairs and cleaned my teeth and went to bed, not many people have a routine than repetitive, that was me untill the start of 2011 to be continued
part 2 it started of like all addictions, i played half an hour a day possibly more i cant remember, and i spent most of my life with my mates, but then after a year (2010) my gaming time picked up the pace and i was soon playing 3/5 hours a day, then 6 hours , then 7 hours , then 8 hours, and then i hit rock bottom and was playing 9 hours a day, thats when my addiction got extreme, i dreamed of being top of the leaderboard when i went to sleep at night, To be continued....
all these messages are really similiar to mine but my addiction to games is EXTREME, right here we go.. i'm going to share my journey of what happend before i got my ps3 and to the present day. So basically my life was perfectly normal untill the xmas of 08, i have always been a gaming fan and ive always been with the playstation franchise from the start, so come christmas i was reeeealy exited to get my ps3, but i didnt realise my life would be on standby for 2 comin on 3 years, to be continued
in 7th grade, i was addicted to WoW. i also dreamed about it and had withdrawls. so i would come home from school and just play from 3p.m.-10 p.m.then go to bed. i bearly did homework and all summer didnt hangout with a friend once. i found out i had 6 months deposited on WoW. I actually cried and knew that had to change. if you think about it, that like playing from january to june. i now rarely play video games and am recovering my social life. thanks goldglove it feels good to finally share(:
Part 8: Lastly if this message helps any one at all, or makes them think in the situation they are in. Then it has done it's job. Thanks for taking the time to read through all of this.
Part 7: Right now I'm going after my goals and dreams. Participating in a lot of activities, in other words truly 'living'. If any of you are going through something similar. Look at your life as an outsider looking in. Think about your dreams, find your passion. Ask your self many questions; WTF I'm I doing with my life? Look at all the hrs (count them) you have gamed, and see what would of happened if you have chosen to spend that time in another activity. (ex: become good a guitar)
Part 6: I decided to go back to the US, and pursue my real career passion. I gave my laptop away. So in the end I pretty much destroyed my life from Spring 2009 to Fall of 2010. So many opportunities to live life, I lived on a laptop screen. In the end I guess I'm glad it wasn't a drug addiction, or more than likely I would of been dead or homeless by now.
Part 5: That continued for a few months. I luckily finished with 80% passed classes, due to recuperation exams. And went back to the "normal" 6 hrs a day gaming. Went out with my friends more and focused a bit more in the uni. But at the start of my 2nd year I knew I needed a change. Not only in the gaming department. But also in career paths since What I was pursuing was not my passion. I talked a bunch of days with a good friend, seeing what I was going to do.
Part 4: I failed 3 out of 5 classes in my first trimester. This is coming never failed a single class in highschool, and lowest grade a C. Rock bottom was when: I would wake up at 10 am. Game until about 9 pm. Only leaving room to go to bathroom. Then dress. And go out to buy. A big loaf of bread, with some cheese and ham, 400 grams nutella, bag of M&M's, ice cream. And I would eat that in 2 hrs making my "meal" of the day. Game until about 4 am. Wake up at 10 am. Rinse and Repeat.
Part 3: Now that I could play practically any game with my new computer. I was literally playing all games, at all times. I skipped most days, or just went to half of the classes. This was in Spain, which they don't really give homework, the emphasis is more on the final exam. Which easily resulted in more video gaming time. I would almost never go out with friends, having a girl friend was out of the picture. My life was pretty much video games, and a bit of uni classes.
Part 2: So I finished high school on 2008. I kind of got bored of gaming, mainly because I had a very narrow game selection due to playing in a crappy laptop. Any way. Before starting the university I got as a gift a gaming laptop. Not blowing it up was the WORST FUCKING MISTAKE EVER. I quickly returned to playing the 6 hrs a day, at first. Then after a couple of weeks past the my beginning year of uni. I sometimes didn't even go to classes, just to play video games.
Well, I'm going to share my story perhaps it can help others. Same as you at around sophomore year in high school I started playing heavily online fps. I played around 6 hrs each day. Twice in weekends. I would think about gaming during classes. When friends would call I would also say I was busy and that I couldn't go out. Eventually near the end of my senior year I kind of grew bored of it and gaming time went down radically. My grades weren't affected that much, but I could of done far better
@touchmyjuls yes it is an addiction so what if you play from evening to night what do you say? that it is not an addiction wow please watch this video I just play like 45 minutes and I am not addicted because I have friends and there are more things in your life than just playing videogames so please watch this video this has helped some of my friends so watch it is very good and it has helped lots of people
the same thing happened to me in 6th grade and i would just sit home play games till time it was to sleep.i had terrible grades not even caring about homework anything and hiding grades from my parents it was just pathetic.i didnt admit i was addicted before but i now notice that i play more that most people but i always fit my school work in now cause i notice that my mind was just not it the right area.I am now in 9th grade and im in band and i like video games and i enjoy wat i do.
I remember once like last year when you were talking about Gears of War and it was a GoW gameplay and it was called like ''Goldy's Youtube Story'' and you talked about what you did in this. On your old acount.
hey goldy im a teen and im addicted to call of duty game and on Mw2 i get chopper gunners like every other match is that bad for my age and i mean i hate xbox 360 and when i hear ps3 im like les play or at least talk about it is it bad for my age
i acc had the same thing man!!! i only lost te addiction about a week ago i am so happy that i got rid of it... but the bad thing is i started drinking and smoking
i know that i am addicted to video games. and i can't stop. i was always with friends like nonstop. but when i started playing video games, i didnt do anything else. I've even lost a few friends along the way. And now, i don't really have many requests to hang out you know? And since I don't, I keep on playing video games. I'm...just, sick of it. I can't stop. I always feel alone, every weekend I'm alone. I tell myself stop. But I can't. I don't know what to do now...
Yea. I'm going through it right now and I'm starting to admit to myself that I am addicted to video games. Its honestly like a drug. I'm struggling with my grades right now, although others would want my grades right now, I don't accept them. I have A's but also B's, low B's like B-. Thanks for reminding me GoldGlove, I just need help trying to focus on my school work and not think about video games so much.
i think i have a semi addiction i do play alot but i still do well in schol and things but its kinda like all my friends play alot and dont go out so i dont either and we talk on xbox instead its kinda a bad circle any advice
Im not gonna lie, i play all the time, and its cold as fuck outside 90% of the time, but when ever i get the chance to go to a friends house or do anything i take it.
this was so mee in elementry now im in secondary 1 and im doing more thingd that are actully important i hardly turn on my ps3 thanks this made me feel better
i have a friend who is i think addicted and gets pist at me for not being on he lost is internet for a month he fine now for the first couple days at my house playing now hes fine
Damn half the shit that happen you junior year, exactly happen to me. I'm not as addicted to it, because....well the same thing that happen to you. Liked your video. You got yourself a subscriber.
For some reason, I CANT do homework after I get home, I always do my homework and like midnight, like right now its 1:32 A.M. and Im not even close to writing a report. I cant deal with this. When I play games its like im in my own world, no physical pain, or anything. I almost hung myself in 08. I though it got better but it didnt, it got WAY WORSE. I would kill myself if I had the balls to.
@ColdplayKid112 Never give up on life, you might not think you have anyone in your life now but you just got hold on and things will get better. Your life is soooo much more important than making a decision because of a certain mood you may be in at this moment in life. I really hope this helps man.
DUUUDE R U MY TWIN!!!!!!!!!!! lol WTF! I went into Junior year wi a 3.8 GPA and then it dropped to a 2. something cause of the same reason as ur life lesson 5 DUDE You got balls to put this out n tell u story GoodJob
i honestly dont know if i'm addicted, or just enjoy it. i have friends who i hang out with alot, play sports, but i do think about call of duty a lot. also, i play it even when i dont really want to just to be playing something cuz i have a desire to play games, even though cod pisses me off. thoughts goldy? pm me please!
my boy is exactly like this i used to be about a year and a half but then i woke up and realized i have to do other things life is short so yeah ima show my friend this video known him 6 years i hope he understands
i was the same with gears of war, maybe not till the point of were i was losing grades just dreaming having withdrawals, give thanks to the noob's and annoying people of gears of war i got sick of it, till the point where i didn't care if i played it or not lol!
i waqs addicted before but now im more like you, some weeks i dont play at all, some i play 4 hours a day and then dont turn it on for the rest of the week but i think that keeping a 3+ gpa is good enough to allow myself to play. on weekends i might game for 24 hours but it fun right? i don't like think about it during the week, mostly cus im fucking tired from swim practice.
What would you say is too much gaming to play in a week? My mom says that 15 hours a week (which is what I play on average) is too much... I hang out with friends, and I have a job too.
I have an addiction and I'm not afraid to admit it. I nearly failed my freshman year because I got competitive with Halo 3 and I am nearly failing Science my Junior year because of Black Ops. I don't know if I want to stop, but it can have some lows
i like watching vids but im honestly not addicted to gaming frankly my mom wont let me play during the week and i am thankful for that because im on top of my homework and stuff
@goldglovetv i went through the same thing you did i didnt really fail as hard as you did nearly fail a class because i was tired and sleeping in class cause i was staying up late.
Then i went through the thing where i still play alot but not as much.
Now im almost at your part I have random 2-3 day streaks of not turning the xbox on but when i do i play atleast 3-4 hours
I'm 13 and MW2 was my first fps, and i was addicted ( not as bad though ) i would only play it and get angry, end up making life hell for my family. Sure there is a longer more depressing story behind why I was addicted, but lets not get into that. I managed to get some great friends and broke free of it ( again more of a reason why that was a big deal ) Yay life
The people i hang out with are gamers themselves...
I do play quite alot, but some of my friends play more than i do...
I can't quit gaming now, yes i am addicted, but maby i just have to play untill something happends in my life that makes me stricter about my own gaming...
If I could turn back the time to 2006, I would turn it back. I would try to play less then I have played, go out with my "old" friends more often, I don't have any contact anymore to some of them.
Video games are fun and entertaining, but I never overdo it anymore. On weekends when Iam at home at night I play more than 4 hours sometimes, but just sometimes.
Maybe if I will be 19 I will put it down EVEN MORE.
I still play but not nearly as much as I did 2-3 years ago :D
I am 17 years today, and like 2 years ago I started playing Xbox 360 Halo 3. I did still play alot, I bought Modern Warfare 2 and I did play hardcore. And when Black Ops did come out I did play the first couple oft days hardcore.But right now, I don't think about the video games all day long anymore. I think I still play more than some other people do, but I play if Iam only in the mood to play. If friends call me on weekends I tell them, ye lets go out. I work every day 8 hours
Ye I remember when I have played ALOT, maybe I have been addicted. I have figured out how to play GTA San andreas online, around 2006. I have played every day after school I went on the computer and started the game. Friends called me or have been at my door and I said OFTEN. No I don't wanna come out, no time, whatever... I had to play the game, I thought about it at school, driving home in the bus, thought about the game.
i remember in the summer of 09, i had a huge addiction to video games. and it was bad, one week i racked up probably 40-50 hours on COD4. That summer, i played maybe 8 hrs a day, for the whole summer break.
Hey do you think you can do a LL about your experience with drugs? As a High School student, that has to be up there as one of the most important life lessons to deal with.
I am in the 10th year in england and i am doing my exams to see if i go into college. I am kinda addicted in the fact that if i am not aloud on xbox i will go on youtube to watch commentaries. My problem is revising for tests. I just lose interest then play xbox or go on youtube.
I watch commentaries not for the game but for the people, listening to people that are in similar situations to myself. I was never like him but i still played a lot of halo AND Call of Duty. there was a little ghost recon and need for speed in there too.
i do have a video game addiction and its sad because i dont want to change. Im a Sr in high school and need to be looking at colleges and all i want to do is play video games
everything you said. happened to me.i would sleep in skool the would see my self as a character and play. dude now i cant even turn it on cuz i jus dnt feel like. gow tfw. but it will change once gow 3 comes out. the addiction will come again
i used to be the same way. i had the same problem..... I had a dream once about gears....Yeah its sad but im way past that and i couldent feel better. Thanks man. Keep up the good work
i used to have a addiction to world at war. me and a friend were addicted together we would hang out all night playing world at war go to school talk about it go home play it and that was our life. now i dont play nearly as much maybe 5 hours a week? used to be around 15 a day.
I do have a few friends in school, those are people who i know for a pretty long time. But in this new school, its pretty hard for me to make friends, and the friends i've got in school don't really ask me to hang out some times, its like they now that i don't go outside often. So i got like disconnected from the outside world and can't reconnect. So maybe u could give me some advice? If u don't, don't worry about it.
@ikheetjason Try to hang out with them, ask them If you need to. Sooner or later you will build up a network of your friends' friends and so on. At least that's how it worked for me. But yeah its hard
Its not so easy to ask for help man, its embarrasing
I feel more comftorable talking about it to you or a stranger instead of to someone i know in real life. I used to have a bad addiction when i was younger, i was also thinking about counter strike all day when i was in school. Now i'm not so addicted, i play black ops like maybe 2 hours max a day, some times i don't even play. But because off my addiction i got like discconnected from the outside world u know.
I don't think I have ever been addicted to games. I have an obsessive personality which manifests as what appears as video game addiction, but it is short lived and usually dies off after I beat the game.
But for me there is nothing much else to do, all my friends are in and out of Uni when I am home, and we all live spread over a 50 mile radius and I can't afford to drive.
I also have a short attention span which makes doing non stimulating activities a challenge.
i guess being addicted to games could be bad but i would rather see some1 addicted to a game than what most younger people get into... im 20 i think every1 has went threw the gaming addiction its something most people will grow out of hopefully but great vid...
to be honest, just be glad that you got out of that addiction in HS not in college. Its like smallpox, once you get it and overcome it, you are immune to it for the rest of your life. :) glad you are doing this, im subscribing.
I actually do think im addicted. Im currently in the 8th Grade. In 7th Grade, I had almost all A's. Then came christmas, when i got my xbox. At the end of 7th Grade, I was failing 3 classes, and barely passing in others. 8th Grade comes, algebra fail it completely, switch back to math. Failed Science, C- in english, failed RWW, B in spanish (fail) and D in history. now, i've found out I have ad/hd. But, my parents don't seem to understand my troubles, i also have depression. What should I do?
well when youre young say before you get your license and stuff its kinda hard to have a life because your parents have to take you everywhere which in some cases is weird
Still I think that the reward factor on many people varies. I personally believe that video games does nothing to add to stress. It is like an ecsape from reality. I want to stay in this escape for as long as possible for Reality is not all that it stacks up to be. Sure it may be fun to have fun with friends, but what if you and your friends have a fight or something of some sort. Then stress gets added. So I don''t see how having a life is more satifying then video games.

shortdude71... really... its about having aa life.. i honestly can believe that u said what is wrong with picking video games over family. that truly disgusts me that anybody wouldnt pick family over videogames... honestly you need help if that your mindset in life
What is so grand about having a life eh. I don't see anything wrong with picking video games over family. For families has its ups and downs. Video games just have its up. 'if my actual life fades away in the process. Who cares then I am just living the fantsty...
i was very addicted to halo 3 when i buy it every day all i would do is play halo and just like you i would dream about halo and because of that i went downhill on school( i had excellent grades well i dont know how its called on usa) but i still have a little problem with videogames not as much as some time ago..
so i would really really!!!need some advice goldy ......thank u
that i needed to do something. i finished my 9th grade year with a 2.0 gpa. im just about halfway through with my 10th grade year, currently taking my finals for my classes, and my lowest grade is a D- with my gpa at a 3.7. if you are in middle school or high school, i wouldnt worry to much.
Might be. For my only reason to do well in school is so that I would have enough money for video games when I am older. WHy would you worry about girlfriends anyway. All they neccessarily do is add stress to your life. So why would you want them. So I don't see what is the problem for perfering video games over friends, and family.
i think why a lot of people get addicted, and including me is because it was hard to get around sometimes. once i got my license and my car, i rarely turned on my ps3. i played socom hardcore for a long time and then once i stopped getting on, people that were in my clan actually got worried because i hadnt been on for about 3 months.same thing about the grades, i was always a straight A kid but once gaming took over grades went down. i only failed one class but that was enough to understand
I don't see what is wrong with having a gaming addiction. I would say I have a big video game addiction, and that is personally okay with me. I don't want to hang out with friends because it is not as fun as gaming, so why would I oblige and spend time with them instead of video games. You said that you also yourself had friends online so you weren't being to solitary with it. Most gamers have friends to play with so sociably that is not the problem. Setting your priorties straighht however...
I think the majority of ppl that are addicted to video games, are kids, or young teens. In my opinion thats ok because your a kid. You don't have a car, you don't have a job. There's nothing really more in a kids life. But on the other hand.. if your a teenager or a grown up, then thats totally different.. thats sad.. thats when you have the right to call someone a NO LIFE!
for all the haters out there you can take a hike, i don't give a crap about you hating me. Goldy, sorry for saying your addicted and inactive. ( didn't think it would cause so much freaking trouble) But still, you've posted 147 videos and not 147 videos have been gameplay or you sitting and talking. IM NOT 12 EITHER SO SHUTUP.
Hey Goldy. I feel like I wish I played GOW since it came out. I never had the first or second game. My friends have them and play them. I feel left out. I'm definitely missing some fun! It looks good too! My parents wouldn't let me get the first one when it came out. Now I could get it obviously, but still i dunno. If i got GOW3, would it be stupid? cause i nvr played 1 or 2
wow. good vid man. thats all i gotta say.

i know that i am addicted to video games. and i can't stop. i was always with friends like nonstop. but when i started playing video games, i didnt do anything else. I've even lost a few friends along the way. And now, i don't really have many requests to hang out you know? And since I don't, I keep on playing video games. I'm...just, sick of it. I can't stop. I always feel alone, every weekend I'm alone. I tell myself stop. But I can't. I don't know what to do now...

If I could turn back the time to 2006, I would turn it back. I would try to play less then I have played, go out with my "old" friends more often, I don't have any contact anymore to some of them.
Video games are fun and entertaining, but I never overdo it anymore. On weekends when Iam at home at night I play more than 4 hours sometimes, but just sometimes.
Maybe if I will be 19 I will put it down EVEN MORE.
I still play but not nearly as much as I did 2-3 years ago :D

I am 17 years today, and like 2 years ago I started playing Xbox 360 Halo 3. I did still play alot, I bought Modern Warfare 2 and I did play hardcore. And when Black Ops did come out I did play the first couple oft days hardcore.But right now, I don't think about the video games all day long anymore. I think I still play more than some other people do, but I play if Iam only in the mood to play. If friends call me on weekends I tell them, ye lets go out. I work every day 8 hours
BlackUltrax 1 year ago
Ye I remember when I have played ALOT, maybe I have been addicted. I have figured out how to play GTA San andreas online, around 2006. I have played every day after school I went on the computer and started the game. Friends called me or have been at my door and I said OFTEN. No I don't wanna come out, no time, whatever... I had to play the game, I thought about it at school, driving home in the bus, thought about the game.

I don't think I have ever been addicted to games. I have an obsessive personality which manifests as what appears as video game addiction, but it is short lived and usually dies off after I beat the game.
But for me there is nothing much else to do, all my friends are in and out of Uni when I am home, and we all live spread over a 50 mile radius and I can't afford to drive.
I also have a short attention span which makes doing non stimulating activities a challenge.

Still I think that the reward factor on many people varies. I personally believe that video games does nothing to add to stress. It is like an ecsape from reality. I want to stay in this escape for as long as possible for Reality is not all that it stacks up to be. Sure it may be fun to have fun with friends, but what if you and your friends have a fight or something of some sort. Then stress gets added. So I don''t see how having a life is more satifying then video games.

Might be. For my only reason to do well in school is so that I would have enough money for video games when I am older. WHy would you worry about girlfriends anyway.

sk8ordiekooks 1 year ago
i think why a lot of people get addicted, and including me is because it was hard to get around sometimes. once i got my license and my car, i rarely turned on my ps3. i played socom hardcore for a long time and then once i stopped getting on, people that were in my clan actually got worried because i hadnt been on for about 3 months.same thing about the grades, i was always a straight A kid but once gaming took over grades went down. i only failed one class but that was enough to understand
shortdude71 1 year ago
I don't see what is wrong with having a gaming addiction. I would say I have a big video game addiction, and that is personally okay with me. I don't want to hang out with friends because it is not as fun as gaming, so why would I oblige and spend time with them instead of video games. You said that you also yourself had friends online so you weren't being to solitary with it. Most gamers have friends to play with so sociably that is not the problem. Setting your priorties straighht however...
sk8ordiekooks 1 year ago
I think the majority of ppl that are addicted to video games, are kids, or young teens. In my opinion thats ok because your a kid. You don't have a car, you don't have a job. There's nothing really more in a kids life. But on the other hand.. if your a teenager or a grown up, then thats totally different.. thats sad.. thats when you have the right to call someone a NO LIFE!
