Video gamers have different brains than non-frequent gamers. - Shidoshi - 2011-11-18
Heidi Wrote:This irony in the responses to this thread is beyond hilarious. The scientists could be quite interested in doing a study on how gaming addicts react when you tell them they're addicted. The reactions are very similar to if you tell somebody addicted to alcohol that they are addicted to alcohol. Further proof that gaming is a genuine addiction!
You know, if you tell anyone they are addicted to alcohol they'll always say they are not, regardless if they are addicted or not.

...Kind of like video games considering they've become a social norm?

Subconsciously, obviously.
