So this all started like 6 months ago. He always plays video games. I try to say, hey you wanna go out whenever he comes to visit? All he does it just plays on Garry's Mod and makes a shitload of combine and shoots them. At home he has like 500 video games. He now has to go to summer school and repeat 7th grade. I want to help him.
Try to make him realise he is addicted and that if he's just gonna play video games all the time that's gonna ruin his life.
Go over to his house and be all like "Hey, I got a 2 liter Coke" and open it over his computer and be all like "OOPS I SPILL IT NOW" and then take all game consoles and CDs and put it in a trash bag and then take it to a body of water and tear it open and throw it in.
Get a bunch of your friends and do an intervention. Works like a charm, someone I know had to have it done for twitter.
For a second there, i thought the thread was about me.

Slap him across the face.

7th grade? So he's 12? Let him enjoy his games, he's in the stage of his life where it's the easiest and most enjoyable it will ever be. As for the "addiction" considering all he plays is Garrysmod, he'll grow out of it, because no matter what Garrysmod get's boring as fuck after a while.
OP your the friend right?
He should grow out of it, if not by 16. If not, do have an intervention with him.
Garrysmod is addicting buddy.
[QUOTE=Sputn!k;23166473]Well at least we know he can grow out of it, him being 5 and all that.[/QUOTE] thats a lot easier than trying to build some pos contraption that wont work 60% of the time
He's actually 14, and he has to repeat the 7th grade. He wont even build in gmod.
Is this "friend" you?
[QUOTE=Ryzo;23166908]Is this "friend" you?[/QUOTE] LOL we all see through this thread haha Ok to help you: The 12 Steps Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become unmanageable. Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of our god as we understood our god. Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Step 5 - Admitted to our god, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have our god remove all these defects of character. Step 7 - Humbly asked god to remove our shortcomings. Step 8 - Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Step 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Step 10 - Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Step 11 - Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out. Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
[QUOTE=Ryzo;23166908]Is this "friend" you?[/QUOTE] No seriously, I like games but I can go outside. When I do play Garry's Mod I make contraptions, not just NPC Wars. I feel all he comes to my house to is to play on my computer. He can't get bored of it if he doesn't even have the game.
He failed the 7th grade? The fuck. Playing video games are okay as a hobby, but you shouldn't let it take over your life.
FORCE him play videogames CONSTANTLY UNTIL HE PASSES OUT FROM EXHAUSTION AND NEVER WILL TOUCH ONE EVER AGAIN. IF HE RESISTS TAPE HIS HANDS TO THE CONTROLLER/MOUSE
[QUOTE=infern0;23166166]repeat 7th grade[/QUOTE] He is still a youngling. He requires more training before he can be called a geek.
You're just jealous that he has more hats than you.
[QUOTE=FreezingStorm;23166472]For a second there, i thought the thread was about me.[/QUOTE] Me too. But I've got Garry's Mod and don't go over to peoples to play on their computers.
Tell his friends to break up the contact to him, and then do the same. Wait a few months, he'll propably come back, just because he's missing REAL people to talk to. Also talk to his parents and your teacher, it might sound dumb, but it isn't.

[/QUOTE] That's not gonna work. You gotta force him out of the house with you, making sure he doesn't sneak off to an internet cafe.
Is your friend The Gmod discussion section?
He's like 90% of facepunch then :o
His parents let him play even though he FAILED 7th grade? Sounds like the parents are elevating the problem.
how do you fail 7th grade
Yeah, HOW do you fail 7th grade? When i was in 7th grade, some faggot failed every single subject, and didn't have to redo it.
