MAD, I suppose if gaming really was screwing your life up that much and you couldn't control yourself, it is a good thing you stopped, but c'mon... videogaming is not like a drug. In my opinion, though,there are much worse things (SUCH AS DRUGS) that people could be wasting their time doing instead of gaming. Gaming is a little different... it can almost be argued to be a perfectly legitimate hobby to the average person... just like being an enjoyer of films or novels. We need entertainment in life and we don't need to pretend otherwise. Sure, those of us skipping work and school or missing out on time doing things more productive or spending money we don't have on games or what have you... maybe therein lies a bigger problem. If one can't divide up their time for play and other things one may do for "escape" with time for productivity, than maybe something bigger is going on. I know I have had trouble in the past keeping myself focused on being productive and still do to this day because I am easily distracted by wanting to do other things. But relatively little of that time is spent worrying about playing videogames instead compared to the other things my mind tends to drift to..... wow I really do have an attention problem... my mind drifted just now... uhhh ummm....... yeah... what was I talking about? I don't know... In fact, I'm wondering what the point of this thread was to begin with... wtf? You come in here like your a regular Sid (only 200 posts? and who are you again?) and you say your "back" (when did you leave?) just long enough to say you despise gaming in a *cough* *hack* GAMING FORUM?!? hmmm...

Ok... umm... I am done... tired and stuff... just wanted to type I guess.
