So what punk?.
Well - I game a lot, and it is both multiplayer and single player although with a clear weight in multi over the latter years. (especially MMOs).
I find games to be more entertaining then for instance television and most movies, so I'd rather use my money on that.
Besides when playing MMO you can get in touch with many people also, much like on GB here, and I've got some good online "friends" via multiplayer games. Some I even miss playing with because we all scattered from DAoC.
But an addict?, well I can "stop" when I want to - hehehe, talk about cliches - but I know I can and do often in periods as the one I'm in now with loads of pressure, and then I only game in the weekends to get my mind of the project.
I also, thusly, find games a good way to leave tension and stress, not that I want to get rid of my stress cause I feed of it when running projects, but still - it is good to get ones mind of things and games do this brilliantly.
