Video Game Addiction (A Gamers Perspective)

Within the past decade or two video games have gone from being just some silly ass thing kids screwed around with to pass time and have fun, to multi-million dollar blockbusters rivaling movies and music alike in sales per year. Now with this sort of attention theres always got to be people pointing the finger to blame games for one thing or another. After watching this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaBSvZMkjic - it became painfully obvious someone had to say something. Honestly games are not to blame for 99% of the shit that they say and they know that, its just much simpler to point the finger, so heres my take on their subject matter

Sorry AOS, this was kinda weak man.. I did know personally a chick who had a problem with WOW. I had to go to her house and take her PC away from her.

@xXDEICIDE216Xx lol right so you're telling me she physically was unable to restrain herself from playing the game? that she had a problem that only leveling up could fix and nothing else? that this is the same as a drug addiction, ya know where it's in your bloodstream and effects your brain and your health etc. couldn't be that she just chose to play all the time instead of going out, going to school, going to work, spending time with family and friends etc.

couldn't be that i'm sure

@SmackdownVsRawcmpunk yes your right sometimes people are too lazy to do the parenting themselves. plus video games can be a nice escape if you live in a abusive environment.

[SmackdownVsRawcmpunk]

parents always use games as a fucking scape goat

I used to go to an after school thing wher they had an n64 and other players called me an addict when I owned them. Gamers calling you an addict because they are jealous... Disgraceful.

@Beledal That's what I said to my dad (He loves rock N roll)

I'm a hardcore gamer on the xbox 360. I agree of every bit u have 2 say. The media doesn't know what the f there talkin bout. I play videogames and never experienced these problems

[simwarn]

@AlphaOmegaSin i heard there are people who wear diapers while gaming so they don't have to leave there game

[linkomega123]

I almost didn't watch this because my dad always tells me that the games are addicting, and i couldn't turn it off or something like that. then i watched some more of your videos and found out what you were about and watched this. Right on for calling out the BS on this!

[sakura12grete]

haha, It's a good video.

But I just hope if I ever want to get a kid, he won't give a fuck about learning, I sincerely regret it XD but returning to School next week, so I guess it's ok. But, I agree they tend to exaggerate the addiction part. If I wanna play a game, Imma play it till it's done, I'll takes some breaks go talk to my mom or bro or dad or sis then go on skype talk to some friends, call someone on the phone, plan to do shit in the week then go back gaming...with some food =D
