Question by Rudolf: Why are video games such a problem?
I always hear about video game addiction. I am wondering what you guys think cause it. I for one am a gamer. I love video games. For me, I would probably say my “addiction” is that I can do so much in games. I can be a world leader (in Paradox Interactive games) or a hero (Skyrim). I could be them in real life, but that would require a LOT of work. I wish I had the self-discipline to just study 24/7 and enjoy it. Then I could become what ever I want. Sadly, games allow me to be what ever I want, and I do not have to study and work like crazy. That is what I think. What about you guys?
People, do not make this about me. I still get good grades (straight A’s). I still study, just not as much as I should. I want to know general addiction, and what you think the cause is.    Read more...

Question by Question Mark: What age should one stop playing video games?
I’m starting to think I shouldn’t be playing video games anymore. I am 19 and I enjoy gaming and the creative elements of it. I view it as an art as much as movies. But as of late people keep telling me I’m wasting my time or how I’m going to be addicted of how it’s going to suck away my life. I seriously hate these kinds of people and I don’t believe games cause you to be violent or addicted. People will stand up for games when they cause violence but everyone gets teary eye when people throw around “addiction” to video games. I usually play videogames 3 hours at night between 8 to 11 and most people will think that’s too much but to me that’s nothing. But I’m not so sure if quitting will be the best option for me. I feel like I would be worse or more bored than if I didn’t play games.    Read more...
