I find this really sad

[Wapptor]

[I find a certain irony] In any of us here at the Lounge passing judgement on a 'game addict' since most of us are either standing on the edge of that cliff, or are tumbling down it to one degree or another.   ;)

That is precisely why I posted the article, I am sure all of us have felt the pull of games from time to time and have had to resist it. Or some times, some of us may have gone a little too far, myself included in that category. My grades were affected, and my social life, it was not an extremely long period (thanks to parental intervention :P ), but I understand the sort of "power" these games have, and the line you have to walk to enjoy them and keep your life together. Fortunately now I find myself losing "hardcore" interest in games, my social life has blossomed (yay for me), and games have become a much less stressful, leisurely pastime.

I just don't see that happening to this guy (assuming once again that he is not a troll...). More likely his life is going to completely deteriorate until there is really nothing he can do with it. He will be too decrepit for any sort of physical labor, too unedicated for a desk job, and probably too lazy, or not humble enough to get more education. In the end, he contributes nothing to his family, and nothing to society, it's really a shame and a waste.
