However, there are some serious negatives to playing too many games, negatives which don’t exist with normal sports. that i disagree with so much that I must make a comment, lol. What about all the "pro atheletes" who get in trouble for drug use? Or fights between fans because they become 'addicted' (or at least overly obsessed) with their teams? "normal sports" have plenty of their own problems. honestly, I see no problem with playing video games 20+ hours a week. I do it myself, while working 30-40 hours at my job, and taking night courses in college. I either play with my friends over the internet, or sometimes we all get together and LAN something especially in today's world of gaming it is all too easy to game with others, even if you meet new people online and then make a habit of playing with those people. people who still game alone and then get depressed because they don't like the choices they make should look at their options and make a choice they would be happier with the whole subject is difficult for me to relate to... i suppose i just don't understand the general peoplulation well enough :P
