Every now and then, it’s good for us gamers to take a look around and check out how the world sees us. Tonight’s attempt to view our little community from outside eyes is an article on video game addiction, or rather, what the author decides to call video game addiction. The best part of this article is where the author mentions the featured addict as being especially pathetic because he believed the people he played games with were his friends and part of his social circle. CoronadoPatch has the story.
