Yah my little nephew plays pretty heavily. Thats kindof ok. but i cought him watching a youtube video of someone playing minecraft. which looks to be alot like everquest or runescape style.

as in it never ends. I had to tell him never to start playing those games.

Ive had friends spend 13 hrs a day for years at a time on these wastes of time.

There are many reasons they are so damn addictive. Mainly that it is an escape. especially for those of who choose to stay away from drugs.

I think a big reason for games like cod is the false sense of accomplishment.

The reason we keep playing is because we win some we loose some (or in my case alot).

If all we did is either win or loose depending on our skill level, we would get bored and eventually stop playing.

But if you loose/win once in a while it makes you want to win again.

Im sure activision has spent millions determening the best algorhithm of winning/loosing, bullet damage, latency, to keep people playing. just for a year or so so everyone can think the next game is going to be the savoir of the franchise.

Sounds crazy, but if i owned a multi billion $ francise i would. why wouldnt they.

Wait im ranting again.

IM A QUITTER AND SO CAN YOU!!!

Its funny after reading through these forums and watching a couple of videos. and reading some posts from the regulars on here. i figured id bust out some Black ocks for old times sake.

But when i opened the box i stored my system in, i realised i had broken my controller. i uncoiled wires that run the batteries in series so it would be a pain in the ass to fix.

Some good thinking ahead. had to give myself a pat on the back for that one.
