I have a nintendo wii and a nintendo ds and i was wondering does this make me a video game addict? I only schedule myself to play video games one hour a day, three or four times a week.

When they start doing this:

A short film by Michael Highland. VERY GOOD

I want to become a HUGE video game addict/nerd in society. I want people to look at me, without even knowing me, and just say to themselves, "who is that, a video game addict/nerd?" But how do I do this? How do I transform myself into one? What are references to video games I can make in society? I do love video games (I consider them a part of my life), and I'd really like to express it. I'd appreciate any pointers.

Um, don't try so hard? People can tell when you're faking.

Otherwise, get some gamer shirts, KNOW your stuff about games so you don't sound like an idiot when you're talking to someone, etc etc. Just throw yourself even more into video games, and your obvious addict-ness will follow. You'll only get made fun of if you try to appear like a video game nerd but obviously aren't truly one.

I've recently have started playing a MMORPG and I've been playing more and more. Sometimes upto 6 or more hours. It's my final year in college and I really want do well this year but already I've started to start skipping lessons, not doing homework and I'm even not going out with my friends. I'm just spending most of my time on the internet and playing this god forsaken game. It's making me more stressful and angry and I've even began telling my own mother to "shut up". This is just plain wrong and I know it is. No-One should ever talk to their own mother like that and when I do say it, it hurts inside.

My friend just rang me asking me if anything is the matter but I just told him nothing is the matter and said that stuff keeps coming up.

Please, please Y! Community, how can I stop this internet and video game addiction and start getting my head down, studying more and enjoy life outside my bedroom?

I'm so scared that I'm going to end up living out on the street when I'm older.

Unplug your computer and throw away the power cord. Ok seriously. My brother is the same way and I hate to say it but...he's 33 years old now and STILL on the internet playing games and has no life other than that. Do you want that to become you? Probably not. I'm sure a girlfriend would help too. Also if you are open about your problem with your friends then they could help you out with it! And plan things to get you out of your room. Don't hide the fact, tell them what's up...

I like to play video games since I was 10 years old since my father bought computer for me. Almost everyday I cannot miss to play videogame.When I had finished playing video games, I suddenly felt easily bored with the game.I always thought that video games are wasting my money,but I still want to buy it.

Go out more, make real friends, play less, like one level at a time, try to play every other day, and then increase the lag. Ask your people to take you to trips on w/e. Games are just avoiding real life; games can be controlled, real life no. WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF???
