Video Game Addicts

from the good-filler-story dept

Every month or so it seems that some publication somewhere comes up with an article about video game addicts. Now, it's Wired's turn. They look at Evercrack mostly, but also talk about people who played games like Civilization for a week straight. I'm wondering when people will start filing lawsuits against the game companies for creating an addictive substance.

    Use an alarm clock if your addicted to games. Set how many hours your going to play each day. It is a really good Time Management strategy technique because when you play you won't lose track of time.
