I have a problem.....

Like probably most of us here,
I am addicted to "Video Games" and "Games" in general.

It's tough keeping up with a j.o.b, business, social life,
family and friends, when I have this irresistible craving/urge
to sit down on my lounger/chair/couch in front of the TV/Laptop/PC/Android/Ipad/DS/Gameboy and play some freakn games! lol!

Sooooo much expenses have come out of this hobby,
and it's costing me my left nut to bear with all these
systems, updates/upgrades, material games in terms
of finances.

So thus, in relevant terms, this addiction is a VICE.
Or is it not? I mean, I have fun, and I gain a bit of
self R&R when I am playing these games,
either by myself or with family/friends/or just some
other random people at the arcade.

I also have a freakn BACK LOG of games
from all 3 systems that some I have not even
unwrapped the plastic off of, and yet to play....

Because of all this, I can fairly say
I consider myself a "hardcore gamer" who is
ADDICTED to games!!!
Wouldn't you? Like don't hardcore gamers
usually play like on average 12 hours a week?
I sometimes play like 20 hours a week,
especially with days off...
I know of peeps who play like 48-74 hours a week....
Now that's addiction.


How many of you consider yourself "addicted"
to gaming? Do you consider it a "vice"?
How do you cope with the extreme expenses
that amass because of what gaming is and requires?
How many hours in a week on average do you spend on gaming?

hi jav.. I feel you dude, i can relate to some of the things your going through..

1. spent so much on video games
2. back logs
3. game consoles, games, I have but haven't played yet

i don't consider myself an addict but there's this crave inside me that whenever i see a good game or console.. I just cant resist.. I must have it... especially if its rare, in good condition and CHEAP!! hehe

anyway, it may not be the same as you but still its time consuming and expensive.. hehe..
