Ahhh, good old video games. The most addictive one I've ever seen was Runescape. Been playing it on and off for the past 12 years or so.

I don't get these games. My brain isn't wired for them, too slow, learning curve too long. The last game that got my pulse rate up and blood pressure to spike was Space Invaders. That makes me a relic, I think. Evidence of past life. Fossil, maybe. My son-in-law writes code for video game makers. He's an Alien. Definitely from a different planet.

My wife was getting addicted to Candy Crush. I eased her out of it. Thankfully she is cured.

Duke Nukem 3D...

My buddy's house in 90's ... At its height he had FIVE - SIX ... BNC networked computers from room to room of his house... one in each separate room of house.

I have never smoked crack... but this HAD to be close.

No one who entered would re-emerge until they had to.

Would emerge with sun blinding eyes.

Arrggg... I just NOW had an urge to play that damn thing.

Only time I can say... A game had me hooked.

What kind of weirdo am I?
An IPhone for seven years now, I've never played a game?

You're not alone. I have zero interest in playing any kind of video games. I've been addicted to antique bottles for 44 years now, but even that has easily controlled by limited finances and more importantly, putting Christ before bottles (or anything else). What's wild is that I know a guy who inherited 10M+ which resulted in a huge, incredible collection, depression and in debt now over 250K in a home equity LOC. If that doesn't show that 1. addiction/temptation/the Devil comes in many forms, and 2. material possessions bring fleeting pleasure, not happiness, then I don't know what would.

I have a pinball problem.

I can't find a pinball machine anywhere anymore.

People can get addicted to anything. The thing about self destructive behavior is that nobody can make an addict stop the cycle of addiction. It is a decision the addict has to make for themselves. It is easier to stop the cycle if one can see the way their actions affect those around them. If playing video games is hurting the people you love, the sound decision is to stop playing video games. Its all a question of what one loves most- family and friends, or the way the your mind feels when you play video games.
