Simple thread, post a story that has happened to you about the addiction.

You know you're addicted to video games when you're playing games late into the night, look at the time and it's 2 in the morning. Then you suddenly realise that you have to get up at 6 to go to work at 7...

You know you're addicted to video games when you make a "You know you're addicted to Video Games when..." thread.

Seriously, how old are you, Dekar.

You know you're addicted to video games when you're talking to a pretty girl and try your hardest not to mention that you are potentially addicted to video games.

You know you're addicted to videogames when you try to wavedash on the way home from school IRL.

You also know you're addicted to videogames when you try to debate with teachers using metaphors such as "Looking for specific words in books won't teach us anything, it's about as reasonable as that section in Super Paper Mario Wii World 2-2 where you just have to hold right for a long time."

True Story.

Went past University of Sydney O-Week today - the IT stall.

They had a Melee setup going as an attention grabber. 4 player FFA 2 minutes with broken controllers.

You know you're addicted to Melee when even in those embarrassing circumstances you can't resist having a go.

You know you're addicted to videogames when your idea of an anniversary present is an in-game present_

You know you're addicted to video games when you're running out of food or money but it's okay as long as you have an internet connection and can still level up, grind instances, socialize, live breathe and survive in a video game thus being discerned with your own health and well being_

You know you're addicted to video games when you lose a job over it due to lack of sleep, lack of care, still raiding, loss of time, wait what am i saying_

You know you're addicted to video games when you have no plans of going to a tournament, yet you come home and beat up level 9 CPUs daily.

You also know you're addicted to video games when you start saying 'lol' instead of actually laughing. I made that one up, but god**** it's annoying.
