quit making arguments that are so darned reasonable!
...but it was a great episode and definitely resonated with a lot of what i've been feeling about
gaming and technology in general. i'm glad you were able to put it into words so well.

not bad.
personally i realized this "mmo addiction" only in the more modern mmorpgs(wow,runes of magic) where it
becomes very obvious that the game tries to string you endlessly along, so at one point or another i
decided to drop it entirely.
i am a social-explorer type gamer mostly so many of these games fail to appeal to me at one point or
another, with that said i just wanted say that i think some games(maybe not mmorpgs like wow) actually
have value and either expose people to new ideas and understanding or help develop them in a new
direction, these games are rare, especially with the more cynical game-models around but they do exist..
the way i see it a person will always have some kind of addiction, it could be anything from cigarettes,
drugs, tv/movies ,sex, information, shopping, collecting stamps, sports and also work if you become a workaholic (all of these have action-reward-climax mechanics)
pc games as an addiction is a middle ground because it is non-destructive and yet also mostly non-
productive.
so yeah the human mind is a mess of compulsions and addictions with some more productive than others.
a person must have 1 or 2 addiction so if your addiction is bad it might be a good idea to replace it with
another addiction/compulsion.

i think this was a very well put together, intelligent and truthful piece of journalism. best five
inch floppy yet as not many journalism/media outlets seem aware enough to observe gaming culture
from the 3rd person perspective, with a view to observing not only the games, but the repercussions
the games do, or do not have on our psychological well being. interesting, nice work guys.

be researched a lot more
