Am I addicted/obsessed to video games?!
Question: Am I addicted/obsessed to video games!?
I don't want to play so much, but i am not sure if i am addicted to them!. Here is a description of what I do:
-go to gamespot!.com
-runescape for 1 hour
-used to play xbox live (not playing anymore because of school)
I'm not trying to be racist, but can i get a point of view asians, since they are generally more focused on education!? US plays a lot more videogames, they don't!.

Yes, it sounds like you are addicted!. You need to try to minimize your play time by finding other things you enjoy doing, like hanging out with your friends (and not playing games) or get interested in a sport!. Not only will other activities expand your mind, but will help you to be healthier because you won't just be sitting somewhere turning into a couch potato!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, you're not obsessed!.
Asians actually play much more video games than people in the states because it isn't viewed as a geeky/loner thing, but something fun and social!.
It's very popular for friends to go out to PC rooms *english translation* to play games for hours on end (starcraft tournaments are broadcasted on TV, some gamers are celebrities)
how many hours do people spend watching tv, or surfing the internet, or just sitting listening to music!? People say be active - as if gaming is the only activity people do that keeps you in the house !.
Games are a hobby, and fun, so there is nothing wrong with playing!.
Addiction for alcohol is sometimes defined by this statement - alcoholism is a problem when it becomes a problem!.!.!.!.
Doesn't sound like any problems are being created by the games!.

!.!.!.asians play a lot of games too!.
You know you are addicted if your playing video games disrupts other parts of your life!.
Ask yourself if playing video games has caused problems with your family/friends/responsibilities etc!.!.!. Like if you were too busy playing games every day to interact with your family and friends!.
If you only play games for a few hours a day, then I'd say you are not addicted!.!.!.but that can change quick!. Just pay attention to how often you play and for how long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't sound that obsessed!. It just sounds like you have nothing else to do!. As long as you're not slacking off in other areas of your life because of video games, then I would say you're not obsessed!. Even if you are obsessed, depending on your personality, obsessions might not last that long!. It depends on how long you've been doing this!. Besides, I know someone who sits in his room all day with a 2 liter bottle of soda and plays Halo!. All day!. That's obsessed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Gamespot!.com is a good site for news / info on games, so I guess it depends on how much time you spend there!. An hour on runescape isn't a lot compared to what serious gamers play!.
Xbox live is fine too, depending on how you play!.
An 'addiction' must interfere with your ability to live a productive life!. If your physical health is suffering, your social life has deteriorated, etc!. as a result of your interest in gaming, then yes you have a problem with video game addiction!.

if you game for one hour a day or so i would say you have nothing to worry about!. there were games i would play for hours a day for a few weeks at a time!. i got bored with them and moved on to something else!. it's kinda like a phase you go through or it's something new and it's exciting!.
if you feel like you can't function unless you game all the time then i'd say worry then!. you're fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Heh, im not asian, but I use to be VERY addicted to video games!.!.!.!. I mean, i still love playing them, no doubt about that, but i use to come home from school, sit down, play!.!.!. get my dinner brought to me!.!.!. play until i know i had to get to sleep!. shower, and go to sleep!. The next day at school!.!.!. i would plan what i wanted to get accomplished on the game that day!.!.!. Here's a little advice, if you feel like all you think about is video games, and your parents tell you that you are addicted!.!.!. and you say "no im not!"!.!. then you are!.!. haha!. Go out more often, hang with friends!. but one hour a day is not that bad!. I literally spent my whole summer playing a game once!.!.!. BAD IDEA!.!.!. Best way to stop playing video games!.!.!. get a girlfriend!.!. they are a replacement lol, and they tend to be more interesting too ^^)Www@Answer-Health@Com
im not asian but i have experience because my brother was addicted to video games!. on weekends he wakes up and goes straight to his xbox 360!. i guess what you do is ok but you might want to cut down a llittle bit!. video games can sometimes interfere with education because in class you might be more focused on games than a test!. so my advice is just cut down on your time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can juggle it!. I work 40 hours a week, have a fiance, go to school, and play WOW 10 hours a week at least!. I think the only thing about me that is a problem is none of my real life friends know I play!. Its my own little secret getaway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
if playing games make you happy, do that, do whatever you enjoy in this life and forget what everyone else thinks!. The guys telling you to get a girl most likely don't have a girl themselvesWww@Answer-Health@Com
i don't think that you are addict!.!.unless you play every day for long time,several hours !.!. i used to play a lot but not to get to the point of obssesion just put yourself your limits to play! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you only play for an hour then you are not addicted to video games!. You are classified as addicted when you go for days with out sleeping so that you can play!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well your not addicted i probably play about 2 hours and thats in the summer!. but when i played runescape i played for an hour every day and i wasnt obsessed so i would say your not obsessed

Most of the guys in Asia dont have money to buy video games and the internet speed is also low which is why we dont play so muchWww@Answer-Health@Com
Doesnt sound like you have an addiction!. I would say that if school grades are dropping, playing for more than 5 hours at a time then you have an addiction!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
