Can a Video Game Ruin Your Life?

My friend Johnathan made a video the other day responding to someone asking him if he thought video games could ruin someones life. He made some valid point and I will be posting the video at the bottom of this post. So let me put my $100 bill in LOL!

I SOOOO understand how a video game CAN ruin your life. I'm not much of a video game person, but I do have my days where I play games for very extended amounts of time and miss important things. I won't touch a game for like 6 months and then for like 2 weeks to a month I'll play a game NON STOP, Even avoiding Twitter; y'all know I love my twitter! I don't think I have ever went to the extent of missing work, or failing a class because of it tho. However, I can see how it can be taken that far. People become addicted to some many things in life, so I'm sure people can be addicted to playing video games, but it's important for the gamer to remember that the game is not going to pay his/her rent or work for his/her education. I remember my longest time avoiding life to play a game was when I had some Mario game at the age of 14. I couldn't beat that game for SHIT, but I was determined to do it! I played that game for like 2 months straight! I got so little sleep... Maybe that's why I sleep so long now; I'm regaining those lost hours. LMAO

How long have you guys avoided life and all it's joys just to beat a game? Let's talk Dolls. BYL!
