      I think most of us are here because we're addicted to Resident Evil to some degree.

        I believe so.. when I log onto Xbox and see the same people on there everyday playing the same game every day, it makes me wonder, do they have lives?

          I think I know what story you're talking about, but the article I read was about some kid over in China, not the US.

          Although, there are some pretty hilarious youtube vids of epic freakouts when kids get their subscription canceled.

            Why do any of those things matter? Maybe they just log on a bit earlier then you do.

              True. I used to play video games non stop everyday until I got bored. Lately, I haven't been playing at all, but whenever I do I get so sucked into it that I cannot stop playing and I can't hear or see anything else going on around me. I get so focused into it that I won't stop. I believe that yes I am addicted to video games in general, and that other people are able to as well. I don't think I am throwing my life away, because there is a difference between having an addiction and letting that addiction control you and your life. I believe that there is the possiblity of moderating this addiction.
