Haha. I actually know 2 fully grown men who lost their women, children, and jobs to their video game addictions. They still just sit around and play.
I played them when I was young and some in college. In college it was more about having competitions with my dorm mates than playing the games though. We would get drunk and have rowdy late night tournaments and bet on each other and such. I bought an X-Box Kinnect about a year ago to play all the workout games in an attempt to get in shape. Didn't happen. Although they are fun and I did get a workout, just no time. I tried one of the war-type games briefly to try and see what the hell everyone was jacking off over. I think it was Halo something or other. I got bored of trying to figure out all the damn buttons after about 5 minutes and haven't touched the thing since. The controllers these days are crazy. 3 joysticks, 4 finger triggers, 7 thumb buttons, how the hell do people have enough fingers these days???
