RU OX Alum, it was so good. There was this guy who's married and he spends 10-12 hours a day playing video games. He had a job, but he quit. It was something about his wife being sick. Anyway, he took some time off to take care of her. She said during that time he played his video games. lol They have 3 kids and while he's at home, he lets them do whatever they want because he's so into his game. She has to wash all the clothes, clean the house and she pays the bills. She said they're behind on their house payment too. She said it's to the point where he won't come to bed, because he falls asleep on the floor in the computer room where he plays his video game. There was so much more, but that's pretty much what was being said. Ya know, that's just ridiculous.

But an addiction is pretty much anything that's overly done. Something that takes control. Like drugs. They said that the average age of a guy who plays video games is 35. I don't get it.
Everyone on Dr. Phil is ridiculous. I don't play them that much, I actually only have two games for the PS3, but yeah, it is fun. I don't think I'd ever retreat from real life all the way though. That guy has other issues I would say, that led him to that behavior.
