It's not exactly like smoking, but it's just as addictive. It's also very time consuming and expensive. I spend WAY too much time and money on my games. Now I'm not saying I would take it back, because I've loved every minute of it... but suddenly the image of me ten years from now flashed into my head - glued to a TV set, thumbs blistered, eyes sunken in dark, skin pale, the skin of my arse practically grown into a well-worn chair and the sounds and lights of the latest game emanating throughout my apartment, still alone and no prospects - this image, though maybe just a bit dramatic, makes me want to chuck my consoles right out the window.
