Re: Yikes!

i saw this thing on TV about game addiction.
apparently every time you reach the next level, get a rare artifact, break the highest score etc. etc. your body releases chemicals which give you a buzz. so gamers keep trying to break the highest score to get the next buzz. games ARE a drug but that doesnt stop me from playing them

Re: Yikes!

There's a clinique over here specialized in non-drug addiction (gambling, shopping or whatever), gamers (mostly of FPS and MMORPG) are among their main patients.
