*sigh* too true

Found this in an article that gave 6 catagories of gammers, the article was cool...this part just made me sad.
digg.com/gaming/The_Society_of_Gaming

There is a smaller subset of the Devoted gamer group. A darker subset. The Addict. Addicts place the One Game above, not just other games, but also above most other elements of life itself. For Addicts, daily decisions are pretty easy. Go to a ballgame or Play The Game? Play The Game. Invest time in a life-enriching relationship, or Play The Game? Play The Game. Take a shower or play The Game? You get the idea. This subset is most often found among devotees of MMORPGaEU(tm)s, but you can find them for just about any game. Many times, non-Addicts will call themselves Addicts because they play a particular game a lot. However, most of them play it because they like it, not because they need it. The Addict needs it.

Re: *sigh* too true

actually, some addicts are multigame, unlike what the author proposes. While they may have a Game as a favorite, for many, in a pinch, any game will do...
