Put the Controller Down, And Back Away From the Console
You poor, pathetic souls...now they say you're addicts!
NinJa here, and as usual, I found a little tidbit on ye olde interweb that I just had to share with you guys. Why? Because I nearly peed my pants from laughing when I read it. Evidently, games are additive...and not in the "I'm going to finish what I've started vein," no I'm talking like "crack rock" addictive. Think EverCrack...but seriously though. [No laughing] According to this article there are tons of parents and people in general seeking "professional" help in the forms of interventions in order to kick their or their family members console gaming addictions.
Yes, those dry eyes you have don't have anything to do with allergies, your addicted son! You need a 12-step program, and to turn in your subscription service. Got erratic sleep patterns? Sure, you may have THOUGHT they were caused by stress, but in reality it's being caused by your body craving to save the damn princess...NOW!
Now, don't get me wrong: people with additive personality types can become dependent on any thing, including video games, and those people need help. But the generality of this article just made it impossible for me to take all that seriously. Except for the Warcraft addiction thing, because a member of my immediate family is fighting that addiction as we speak.
We welcome and thank you for all your prayers and support during these trying times.
And if any of you bitches try and throw me a gaming intervention, I'll cut you! :)
Is that a shuriken in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

"I'm going into rehab, as soon as I finish this level mom! I just have to complete the battle of the 1000 heartless, OK? GAWH!"
