I used to game for hours and hours, but I was never addicted, I could stop whenever I felt like it. Now I barely game at all.

I like to game but will gladly not, like yesterday I had a game planned with my mate since he was back from ni and had real internet, but Vista decided to die and I couldn't realy be bothered fixing it for gaming, would have liked to game but can go without it

how do u determine if someone is an addict? I'd say someone who plays GTA and starts killing people in the real world.

I was thinking if u needed to know ur an addict, and were meant to be outside killing people irl, but decided u had to stay in and play GTA - then u probably are one.
