Well since I don't skip school to play games, I'd say I'm not [I]that[/I] addicted.
I don't let my gaming get in the way of my school or life
I do, it's the reason why I have to become a cop and not a Nuclear Physicist.
If a video game is addicting it means the developer did too much of a great job.
Above post. I'll just repeat, they actually tried and did their job.
I love how every advertisement on the page is for WoW.
Shows how much these Panorama people don't know about gaming. Fucking idiots trying to get parents to agree with them and stop buying their kids games.

Facepunch >
