1. Video Games Can Be Addictive
Addiction is defined as "The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something."â  Anyone who has really been into video games has experienced this. Kids and adults alike think about getting home and playing games. They also spend a great deal of time reading gaming magazines, participating in online gaming forums, looking for future game releases, and of course, spending countless hours playing games. When they aren't doing any of these things, they're wishing they were.

2. Video Games Can Be Expensive
It cost a lot of money to stay current with the latest video games and hardware (console and/or computer). Many gamers spend all of their money on gaming. For example, it's not uncommon for a gamer to have 50-100 games that cost $40-$50 each. They also often have at least 2 different game consoles and 1 high-end PC. This can easily add up to thousands of dollars a year to maintain a typical gamer's habits.

3. Video Games Can Hurt Relationships
There's often a direct correlation with the amount of time spent playing video games, and the amount of time spent engaging in a quality relationship. In the most extreme example I could find, there was a couple that was so consumed with playing video games that they ended up neglecting their 3 children â" to the point that they were malnourished, naked, and covered in their own feces. Although that's an extreme case, I still think there's something to be said about people who spend the majority of their free time playing video games. My guess is that they're probably not dating or pursuing a meaningful relationship in their free time.

Update: A reader brought to my attention an online group dedicated to loved ones who have been affected by their partner's addiction to World of WarCraft (WoW). Their description includes the following

Do you have a loved one that plays World of Warcraft so much that you feel like you are a widow? This group isn't just for wives, but for anyone, husbands, girl or boyfriends, mothers, fathers, sons or daughters, or anyone that has had a relationship effected by this addictive game.

4. Video Games Can Be Distracting
Avid gamers are similar to people who smoke a lot of marijuana â" in that they don't get much done. Reading a good book, taking care of bills, writing an article, inventing something, mowing the lawn, etc... are simply not a priority when it comes to getting to the next level or finishing a game. Many gamers have things they would like to do in life, but they never get around to it, because they spend so much of their time playing games. Then, when they do have time to work on one of their projects, they're too tired to do it, because they stayed up till 3am playing a game.

5. Video Games Can Rob You Of Real Life Experiences
Instead of taking a trip, mountain biking, or hanging out with friends at a cafe, gamer's spend their time in a virtual reality. Whereas real life experiences bear long lasting friendships and memories, videos games do not. The only pictures that come from video games are screenshots, and the memories that are created from playing those games are ultimately meaningless. Living means interacting, growing, learning, teaching, and loving â" none of which can be accomplished in the virtual wasteland of video games.

And yet your STILL hear!!! I mean how much of a loser can you get?!?!

Also telling us that we need to go outside, but on the other hand hear you are posting unworthy crap!!!

And we all have a life, but sorry you don't seem like you have one!

You have no right to preach to us about getting lives and all this crap about being hear all the time, unlike you we actully have something to do hear, instead you waste your own and the damn air by telling us that we need this, we need that!

I have four words for you!!!

Calm Down everybody!

It doesn't matter if he's being sort of a jerk around here, but that doesn't mean you have to be pissy.

Too bad nobody is here to lock this.

1. THis is a bit of a spam topic, also, it is ok for Niceguy to share his opinion, he just took it slightly too far overboard.

2. Why do people have to get so angry and swear at him. He has shown his opinion which may have been slightly over the top but everyone else has just magnified the situation and made it all worse.

3. IRuleya - From that comment it doesn't seem like you are that nice either...

Agreeing with Plokkey, everyone needs to calm down. It isn't that big of a deal, but your reactions have made it worse.

Thanks

KingRyan
