It says something to the point of:

"... [the reseach report] describes young people who have gone so deep into cyberspace that they no longer can tell it from the real world."

:bazbeer:

[edit] btw, it was a therapist who had made that statement to a journalist. My bad, no research report there... :doh:

Of course it is, just some dumb hib with too much spare time dreaming again. Think they are going to hang him next week for witch craft.

I wonder if the research report really says that (in which case I think it's suspect) or if it's just a poorly-written article. Even the worst game addicts don't seriously confuse the real and virtual worlds. Their problem is that they allow the priorities of the virtual world to take precedence while withdrawing from the real world, to the detriment of their health and school/work/family life - not that they're unable to tell the difference.

Even if some things are a bit blow out of proportion, I agree with the general conclusions. I do think the spending 7-8 hours/day infront of a computer, eating a micro pizza for 2 min (while your group have some downtime), not having a social life and not working out 1-2 times a week will affect your health. Both mentally and physiclly. Anyone disagree?

No-one would disagree with that. Computer game addiction is a real problem and one that is only just beginning to be researched and understood.

The question is, do those people really, truly not know the difference between real life and fantasy life. I have known some very game-addicted people in my time, but I have never known anyone to be actually driven insane by them.

will working out give wu xp :rolleyes:

/em runs to get his pink gym spandex shorts from waaay back in the closet

seriously though, on those rare occasions when a person becomes seriously addictive i think it is really tragic. u can only hope that that person has a familiy or friends that can help him/her get out of it...
