I’ve always told my wife when she gets a little miffed about my gaming:
I don’t smoke, I only drink socially, I don’t carouse, I’m not violent, and when I play Halo-2 after you go to bed, you know where I am (in the basement on the projector). She still doesn’t have an answer for that.

I still enjoy a good book myself. I am a game addict for sure, but I find myself multitasking often because of it.

I agree that everyone needs an addiction, it’s the severity of the addiction which then causes issue. I’m a gamer, that is my addiction, but I know too when to stop and when I have the time to do it and when not to. My life does not revolve around it, but when I have free time and friends are unavailable, then yeah, I’ll jump to games. Books are SO last century :p (Not true, there are many good books)
