Addiction...

while it is all well to play shellshocklive we must remember that being addicted to games is unhealthy. Even tho playin shellshock puts moneyz in KC pokets for school n stuff, ​

but sometimes its better to know when to stop playin for the day/night.​

​

so i found a list, 5 signs of video game addiction and i might just put a "what to do when addicted to games" type list up to.. in case you need a bit of help​

I even put a poll in... you dont have to admit it but its a good start to your potential rehabilitation​

​

pls enjoy​

​

• You feel really happy when you're online or when you're playing games, but as soon as you have to stop, you get angry or upset.​
• You think about going online or playing when you are supposed to be focusing on other things, like doing school work or having dinner with your family.​
• You spend more time with your keyboard or controller than physically hanging out with your friends.​
• Your friends or parents ask what you spend all your time doing, and you lie about it or laugh it off, but inside you know they may have a point.​
• You get up in the middle of the night to check your e-mail or your MySpace comments because you're having a hard time sleeping.​

 

I was really addicted at summer holiday, playing like 4-5h a day, but now when school started, I don't have time and game is starting to get a bit boring...

 

yeah I agree with caca, I voted no though, because I know my priorities and I hold on to those priorities.. I

 

But you check forums every day, right , so that means that you are addicted

 

I check forums everyday yes, but its not like I get upset when I don't nor I miss it

 

No, because SSL2 isn't addictive. But also schoolwork shouldn't even be given out, except for studying and maybe projects... but not all things are important. Sometimes you can just get things done in a *wink*. Therefore, the' doing school work or 'part should be removed unless its wording is put differently, like 'studying for tests or doing projects'.

 

Pretty cool feedback... ​

maybe you guys can give suggestions on what should be in this list and which ones are better indicators of SSL addiction
(or any game for that matter) ​

if we have more contributions, we might get a pretty decent list goin... ​

depending on how sensible we are about it.​

 

heres some addiction
spends money on it till there is no more
i dont but some do

 

really?, what did he want to buy... the whole game

 

So based on these results I can write a hypothesis..: There are two kinds of addicts in this world.. those who admit it and those who don't

 

I actually play on purpose,
For the clan,
For my friends,
And for the glory...

 

the glory [on the internet]

the people you met [on the internet]

the clan [on the internet]

the friends [on the internet]

Anyone else seeing a pattern here.

 

Friends that I meet everyday in real life...
And I don't do it for the people I met...

 

I play it to get to level 50, but I agree mostly to play with friends I've met through the game. I think the prestige thing will make more people "addicted as it were to SS2 now.

 

i like the prestige thing, but yeah its gonna be more addicting now...

 

*Spolier*
Tank1337 is going for rank 50 and is already at 10 almost.

 

He's starting to play again?

 

Yes this Prestige thing is making him want to be the first with 2 prestige weps.

 

i just presteged now im a noob

 

kchamp is smart
