Winning a pleasure feeling...pleasure addicitve.

Answer 2

Ok, this will be my personal experience. I, too, have times where I just have to get away from the "blinking box", but I'll relate to you here what I feel when I play video games (specifically Everquest, Zelda and World of Warcraft).

For me, the depth of the world that you're immersing your character into has a LOT to do with whether I will stay "addicted" or interested in the game very long. When I find myself staring constantly at a certain area/zone/castle for a while, I soon get bored. So, gaining levels/experience (XP) usually helps in these circumstances because, as you gain levels, you get to move on to different content. The exploration of new things is a BIG draw to video games, and will keep people coming back for more, which is why you see game manufacturers constantly updating, patching, and selling expansions.

Another thing that can be addictive is that your progress in the game is directly related to the amount of work that you put into it. In a world where politics, schooling, and your ability to "brown nose" can have a huge impact on your progression, it is refreshing to come into an environment where WHAT you do determines your progression. Yeah, I guess technically ANYONE can sit there and push buttons, but most games allow many different ways to go about killing through spells, weapons, talents, quests, etc. This means that you can level as fast as you want, but you can also do what works for YOU to progress. (i.e. using YOUR talents and skills along with the amount of effort you're willing to put in to progress faster or more efficiently than other players)

And finally, there is the draw of guilds or raids, where you use your particular skills and talents to be an efficient member of a team. Often you will be working with at LEAST 9 other people, though in some instances (such as WoW), you might be raiding with 19 or 39 other people. Some people are better at leading and can use their real life abilities to keep the group on track. Others might like to just be a part of it all and do their best to help the group down mobs or participating in guild events. Going to higher-group instances also rewards the people in the group with good armor, weapons, etc, and you get a good feeling when someone in your group FINALLY gets the piece they've been working so hard and wanting so long.

Answer 3

The feeling of completion and the rush they get. I watched Intervention and some guy was an addict to games. And he had a hot friend, and she would try to talk to him and what not. Screw the video games, I'd be all up on her. IDK whats wrong with people these days.
