    Whoopsie! My mistake! I stand corrected.

    But for a fact, there was this 28 y/o man in South Korea who reportedly collapsed and died in an Internet Cafe after playing Starcraft for more than 50 hours straight.

    Also a boy from the same country who played the same game for hours and hours. He was next found dead in the bathroom.

    The above two are facts. But afterwards urban rumors about addicts dying in front of their PCs began to proliferate.

    Yes, I am well aware of those events. Those crazy Koreans; they also eat Hydralisk flavored potato chips.

    Civilization IV is a drug to me.

    I don't get addicted to games very easily. However, there were times when I've played games late into the night. I did that with games like Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, and Tales of the Abyss. Yeah, also Sim City 3000.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    >>> All the FF games were the most addicting for me.. When I played some of them I was so isolated that I could not tell if it was night or day..

    Back in my early teenage years, I had absolutely no control over my addiction. Didn't practice self-discipline then.

    At least now I'm more grown-up and can now decide when and when not to play.

    Solitaire. I can’t stop. I don’t even know when I open it anymore; I could just be entering some important data into some godforsaken application, and then... it’s just there. Solitaire.

    I don't really get addicted to most games, I get bored of them after awhile, then buy new ones, and get bored, and the cycle repeats, some games I haven't played in over 2 years. The only ones I've become really addicted to are GH2 and Step Mania >_<. Also, grr at kikimm for being addicted to a game I want but cannot find (Vampire Masquerade) ;_;.

    No, but I am addicted.

    Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Starcraft. The usual.

    DUH. Midnight is early.
    Wow was crack laden, i barely got out alive.

    Current addictions are the above, plus EBA, The Movies, and CS

    Crack Cocaine.
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan
