Video Game Addiction

picture from here

I have...a problem. I am addicted to video games. I spend a lot of my time playing them, reading about them, watching videos on them, and ordering the video games that will come out later this year. I love them, and I base a lot of my life on them. When I find a video game I really enjoy, I spend almost 80 hours playing the game. I have played the game "Fallout 3" for more than 80 hours, and I'm still not finished with the game. I do every quest, and I try to get every achievement. It may sound like it, but I don't let video games consume my life. I still do all of my work, spend time with family and friends, read, and write. I don't play them 24/7 like people may think. They have just been a big part of my life. I grew up with them, and they continue to help me pave my future. They help me make critical decisions faster than I normally would, and they help my brain work faster and solve more problems. If all video games were to just cease to exist, I would probably go crazy. Of course I would get over it, but seeing my childhood and all the memories that came with it disappear, is no fun. That's why I love video games.
