Not only am I not a 'gaming' addict, I didn't even recognize the 'gaming' vocabulary that you used :!:

I am quite addicted to the toughest levels of Killer Sudoku but I print those off and complete them by hand and..........oh yes............I do them alone :D

I like basic games I can play casually to burn time, but that's it. I ended up selling my Xbox 360 a month or two after buying it because I just got bored of the thing.

It's not an addiction, I can quit anytime I want.( note the black mesa symbol, and quote from half life, by no means am I an addict.)

This would appear to be more 'gaming code' that is unknown to me :roll: :arrow:

I play SimCity 4, and that's about it (and I cheat like crazy).

I used to be addicted to Counter-Strike, but I've quit. After being banned from nearly all servers due to suspicions of cheating...

No. I don't have a gaming addiction. So there are at least two of us.

Last time I became obsessed with computer games it was like earlier in the decade but even then I rarely played any games. Maybe because I sucked at video games so much I eventually decided to quit. I never owned a gaming system more advanced than a N64. I just didnt care to game anymore.

My sister had a SIMs addiction though. I had fun with it too. I played the game most of the time to design houses, malls, and hotels. There was another home design game I enjoyed alot. I never got hook on those games where you interacted with other players cuz by the time such games were created, I stopped playing.

I'm an internet addict but mostly for discussion forums, fanfiction or watching movies/TV. Sometimes I'll come across an interesting flash game and play that for an hour until I get bored of it.

( :P :P :P :P :P )

for me tho, evn the thought of playing one is like torture to me. bought a few
games i herd were fun & have them lying around, but never seem to get around
to it . . . they always want me to choose sumthin but i dunno wut to choose

~cue sucking noise~ :oops:

how i hard i try i can can never get pastthe menu screens -- its horible. such a
waste of $$$. used to like some text based ones tho. loooong time ago :P

ImageI love to play games. I've messed around a little with my childrens' games. I never really had much time because of work/school. So I'm another one who's not addicted. I love to play Sudoku too but I can go for several months without playing it.
:sunny:
Right now I'm addicted to WP. It's so wonderful to be able to chat with people who are like me. You all are great people. Your comments make me laugh when I've had a really bad day. Sometimes your comments touch my heart. Other times they help me learn about myself and give me interesting and curious things to think about. So here I am addicted to all of you too. :?

Ah, I wish I could make more time for games, but I'm too easily distracted from them.

Hah! Only one on Earth? I'd say this planet has paved the way for the breeding of a wonderful new race of human... the gamer nerds. :3
