Video game addiction is spreading. It exhibits symptoms such as compulsive computer usage, isolation from both friends and family, and a focus on in-game achievements rather than actually doing anything in real life.

You obviously aren't an addict, because you're reading this article rather than sitting in your pants with a controller glued to your hands. There have been plenty of calls by parents and other busybodies to fully recognise the condition of video game addiction. While they're at it, they could re-examine the reasons why teenagers act like they do as well, or why the elderly always feel too hot.
