<p>5</a> Creepy Ways Video Games Are Trying to Get You Addicted | Cracked.com</p>
<p>That, along with a paper by Nick Yee, made me a lot more cautious about playing video games in non-social settings. Ineresting.</p>
<p>Interesting…</p>
<p>Better stay away from those MMORPGs.</p>
<p>I love Cracked lol.</p>
<p>This makes me sad that I spend like 7 hours a week playing Sims.</p>
<p>^ Lol that used to be me, but luckily my computer crashed, causing me to be able to overcome my addiction. :D</p>
<p>^^7 hours a week is not really very bad.</p>
<p>@elau0493</p>
<p>lol, that totally made my day so much better :D</p>
<p>That’s what happened with me and CC, but then my computer was fixed and I returned. I’m not as bad anymore though, elau0493.</p>
<p>7 hours a week ? I used to play diablo II LOD 7 hours a day</p>
<p>RuneScape! ^_^</p>
<p>I loved it except now I realize that it’s all about clicking, I think ClickScape would be more appropriate lol.</p>
<p>This couple starved their 3 month old baby because they were too busy raising their virtual online baby. And there’s been numerous cases of people dying from video games :O</p>
<p>I reallyyy want to get Super Mario Galaxy 2.</p>
<p>I’m a fan of video games and I think technological companies should stop producing new products once in a while to attract teenagers to use their spare time as a junk rather than relaxation. My Xbox and CPU ended up freezing as a result of this and I wasn’t able to play them for a month.</p>
<p>The truth!! The cure is to swear not to play for a day, and then sticking to the oath. 
That worked yesterday, at least…:o</p>
<p>^^ 'Tis not possible. We are all greedy capitalists. o.o</p>
<p>I have refused to play hamsterball games like Farmville. I do play strategy games such as Outpost 2 and Age of Empires. The only online game I currently play is Battle Dawn, which neatly avoids those problems and is probably the best-designed online game I’ve seen.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No it’s not. They have Make X now. You don’t even have to keep clicking to mine anymore. Not as fun though -.- I had fun when I use to do 5-10 hour days o.O</p>
<p>I would tell how many hours I’ve played it, but it’s pretty damn bad.</p>
<p>
That’s nothing. lol</p>
<p>if i could I would play NHL 10 for 7 hours a day but i have a test that i have to study for almost every day…life is horrible</p>
<p>I have a game that keeps track of how many hours you spend playing it. Sometimes during the summer I could play about 3 days a week. I guess that’s 75 hours or so</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Didn’t apply to skills like Runecrafting.
Membership was so addictive and so worth it.</p>
<p>^RS was fun, but I beat all the free quests and don’t have money to waste on membership. And there isn’t a “kill x” option for leveling combat, sadly.</p>
