It's been like an epidemic for years--ever since the invention of the coin-operated arcade game.
With the advent of home-console systems like the NES, the SNES, the Neo-Geo, the Playstation, the PS2, the Wii, the PS3, and even the smaller hand-helds--video game addiction has become a problematic effigy for society.
It's impact has especially been felt in the on-line gaming communities; whereas whole, productive people have been turned into mindless drones and robots.
While myself, I am by no means prone to video game addiction--as I have 3 game consoles (SNES, Playstation, and the PS2), and a Gameboy Advance--I've managed to tame my demons by not playing as much offline and online.
As a writer, I am more focused on my writing than my gaming. But I am also a social person by design--and I get out often; taking walks, exercising, and knowing when and where my limits are.
Unfortunately, there are those out there who are not like me.
