Are you a games addict?

[Michaelz]

I've just read an article on people getting addicted to games, here are the questions:

1. Play most days?
2. Often play for long periods?
3. Play for excitement?
4. Get restless when you can't play?
5. Play for personal best?
6. Often try unsuccessfully to limit playing?
7. Play instead of doing homework or just work?
8. Sacrifice social activities for games?

They say that if you say yes to more than 4 you're a game addict, i think thats total crap if you ask me, i love and enjoy games but i wouldn't say i was a games addict, i guess im in the middle. ps.(i got 7out of

hmm...let's see.

1. Play most days? ...No, not really
2. Often play for long periods? When I do, Yes
3. Play for excitement? No
4. Get restless when you can't play? No
5. Play for personal best? Yes
6. Often try unsuccessfully to limit playing? No
7. Play instead of doing homework or just work? Yes
8. Sacrifice social activities for games? No (Unless you count playing w/my little brother as being social )

I'm not a games addict

I usually never play computer/video games...my Gamecube broke, apparently Nintendo knew that 50% of Gamecubes wouldn't work w/in 3 years of production...and the only comp game that I really ever play is the Sims, which is only occasionally.
