So, i'm watching 48 hours on CBS right now, and it talks about some guy who was addicted to Everquest. Geez...that's pretty crazy.

Also, some woman wants to sue Sony because her husband is addicted to the game

thoughts?

personally, my freshman year roommate was totally addicted to the game...probably lead to him failing most of his classes the last quarter (spring '02). he dropped out of college sophmore year.

If you kill yourself over a game, you had deeper issues.

well, i thought that the video game forum discusses video games, not it's affect on people. of course, i don't frequent that forum, so i wouldn't know.

kinda like how that melon ad was first in the hot deals forum, but then moved to other.
