hmm... sad indeed. we don't know if he lived at home with his parents or not; or if they did anything to discourage him from doing that kind of thing throughout the years. i'll say nothing about them.
some ppl have a distinctive addictive character on VG, there's little that can be done to change that. some guys, when they play FPS, go to dodge bullets in front of the monitor, ducking and leaning their heads when the action gets intense, i've seen it. in person.
a friend of mine once played Rome Total War for 20h straight, after having done 15h the day before; luckily he got married with a fine girl and now has no time to get lost on these things. a normal bloke, who looses track of everything when left alone with a monitor and attached to a capable gaming PC...
i guess many of us in here are beyond there 27-30s and had the chance to experience a lifestyle in their youth that prevented this kind of modern sick culture of the kids today - the so called digital life style. as a kid i used to ride my bike all time on weekends (and still do whenever i can), go for swims and all that sort (as i'm doing by now in the hot
)
it's sad to see some kids nowadays passing on this, missed opportunities to develop a less stressful character that won't come around again; i don't think it's a lost cause on any terms, but many of us live at a crazy stressful pace today; there's a heck of less time for everyone, to be with their kids, to be with their friends... and all that forms a chain; a chain that must be broken in order to defeat many perverse side effects that we see today in our ways of life.
hmm... i guess i got a bit into longing feelings of some kind... well that can't be bad. cheers and happiness to you all
