i tried WoW for 15 minutes and quit lol.. * can't wait for Diablo 3 & Starcraft 2.. (Just a casual gamer).. I was addicted to conquer online for about a year.. then another 10 months or so for zero online..

Huh, while scrolling down the article, this is the thing I noticed the most, the link to the article about Lara Croft models :lol

......GOOD GOD...........*DROOOOOOOL*

LoL at the kid playing Halo....It's too funny when you are playing people who are that serious.

played Halo, Diablo 2, SC and CS lol damnn

Oh no i have those games except halo and in addition still currently playing world of warcraft. Dayum atleast i'm still fit and doing my daily jogs xD

holy crap that is a lot of monitors

u mean u dont know which one of ur friends or acquantainces plays wow

I'm happy that I didn't know about fast travel or mounts in WoW when i started playing, and got pissed off enough with the traveling that i quit

Friends parents are in the middle of a divorce.......Diablo.

how do u get into a divorce over a game 8 years old? lol

Diablo USED to be good, 1.10 made everything retarded. XD

LOL.. iv hit everyone of those games on the list .. other then Everquest cause that shits olders then me .. I dont see how people can get addicted like that! XD.. i mean its fun when playing with friends but all of these games get boring if you dont got some bitchs to play with :O

I miss em Diablo days, harsh ruined my grade 8 life xD

playing Diablo and/or Diablo 2 WAY too much, all the time, doing it over and over, collecting all that he can, spending ton's of money buying stuff etc etc etc.

I don't really see a problem with video game addiction. It's always normal when an experience is new and exciting. But like everything that was once exciting, it all gets old and boring. (hell, even sex can be like that)

IMO, this really only affects people who nothing to look forward to in their lives. Other than that, it's a great filler when you don't have much going on at the moment.

hmm,
i remember i used to love playing cs.. but when you take on a gaming addiction it becomes more of a lifestyle... its weird really. Back in high school these guys would always be playing and talking about "last nights game". They would even spectate 2 teams playing against each other. /big frown

WTH??? where's maplestory??? :D

maplestory is for youngins

i did the CS and star craft thing, my older brother failed out of SFU because of his starcraft addiction, the funny thing was he won basically his whole tuition back in tournaments.

i currently put in shifts of cod4 and 5

MapleStory FTW nigga!!

The only one I've ever played on that list was Diablo... but I only played Diablo II, so I guess I didn't play any of those on the list. I'm a console guy, not a PC guy.

i used to play around 2-3 hours everyday of cs in high school. i dont think that counts as addicted right?

the only game i still enjoy online is GTA4 because im not forced to go toe to toe with the obsessive players. if i do encounter one, i can just act like an idiot until they leave me alone (continually wield no weapons, run circles around them, blow myself up, etc). or i can run off to another area where they aren't. im getting so sick of playing most of my other video games online. halo, cod4, gears, etc - all games i love but there is no fun to be had online because of the people who obsessively played them since their releases. i want to play these games online but only the first few months are fun. i might as well trade the game in after that unless ive finished the offline content. i don't trade them in because i still cross my fingers and hope to find a match where i have a fighting chance to win.

diablo 2... possibly the most addictive game ever. and the most pointless. no guilds, little human interaction, etc...
pretty much just you killing the same bosses over and over and over and over again (i could beat meph in 1min, loot, exit, make new game, do it again).

now i play wow and it pretty much owns me, but only b/c i play w/ a lot of friends nowadays. take the social aspect out of wow, and its truly a pointless game.
