This man makes me feel dirty because I play video games.

What the fuck do these people do now that they've severed the one thing they've loved most from them? I bet they go crazy. It wouldn't surprise me at all if one of them commits suicide or some other stupid act. Oh well, they let their "addiction" get out of hand. I don't. I haven't bought a new game in six months. Besides, they sound like idiots. "Using drugs to play longer". Argh.

By the time he was in college he was gaming about 14 hours a day and using drugs to play longer.

When they play, their brains produce endorphins, giving them a high similar to that experienced by gamblers or drug addicts. Gamers' responses to questions even mirror those of alcoholics and gamblers when asked about use.

Later, he began taking drugs to stay awake and play longer.
I don't even know what to say about the rest of this crap. I know people are looking for something to blame other than their bad parenting, but they're really grasping here.
