Detox clinic opening for video addicts - Yahoo! News
Topic: Health and Wellness 5:15 pm EDT, Jun  8, 2006

Bakker already has treated 20 video game addicts, aged 13 to 30, since January. Some show withdrawal symptoms, such as shaking and sweating, when they look at a computer.

The part of this that's a problem is, it blames the games. I don't want to blame the person who is so out of their gourd that they're popping pills to stay awake longer so they can play longer, but it's not like the games are doing things to your CNS (other than maybe giving you the headache from hell because the monitor refresh rate is bad).

Making the nuts into victims makes games bad and the nuts ok. Bullshit. They're nuts, that's why they have the problem, and if it wasn't video games it'd be something else.
