I am starting to play Mario & Luigi for GBA because my friend let me borrow it, I like the battle system, but sometimes it can be a bit confusing.

I hate M&L know, I gave it back to my freind now, as for an addiction for any games, FF Tactics Adv. is still there, but only for a little while do to that I am almost done with the game (299 missions out of 300 done, yeah!), and FFX is getting addicting, again.

5 words for ya: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I'm not kidding, I am so addicted to that game. Just driving around while listening to the radio is addicting.

I'm addicted to Dynasty Warriors 2+/Samurai Warriors...Sure they're button mashers but they're quite enjoyable. Bashing around abunch of little chinese men with a big axe is well over satisfactory.

I am, and always will be addicted to Megaman. Any Megaman game, I will sit down and play for hours straight until I beat it, and if I have enough free time, will stay infront of the t.v. and do it again.

Diablo 2, with the expansion and everything. I'd be playing non-stop online until sunlight burned my eyes, and I was too tired to even push my mouse down. I used to play all the time with random members of this forum (Jlombardi13, Ominous_Inhibitions, and anyone else that felt like getting online) from like...6 at night until noon the next day. Fear Mephisto.

Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, Grand Theft Auto, Devil May Cry, Twisted Metal, Metal Gear Solid, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, you name it, I get addicted to any good game.

tetris...Tetris...TetriS...TETRIS...TETRRRRIIIIISSSSSSS!!! I've been playing it off and on for 15 or so years, and it drives me nuts. FF VI, I once played it for more than 24 straight hours, no breaks (I had food brought to me) except for the bathroom (I wasn't going to wear a diaper, I'm not crazy!).

I used to be a WC3 Frozen Throne Battle net addict.

Recently I've picked this game up again to play, and have gotten re-addicted to it. I used to be in the top 50 solo, and my highest 2v2 rank was 30, and my highest 3v3 rank was 21. This was before school started two semesters ago. Now I've started it again with some friends, and am having just as much fun as I had before. Boy this game is fun with the ladders, tournaments, and custom games for when you feel like screwing around.

My Profile

That's my battle.net account. The solo thing has decayed seven levels due to inactivity, but I'm working on a practice Night Elf account to get that back up.

Funny thing: my mom went through a pretty big Tetris phase. I'm not sure if I want to say addiction, but for a while she was definitely playing a lot... everyday, for hours, for months.

I guess I did the same thing time-wise with FFX back in autumn of 2002, but each time I got home I tried to contact my friends to socialize, but for those few months they weren't around so.... I racked up a couple hundred hours.

Do we in the gaming world count temporary things like that as addictions?

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

well even if it is temporary but at the time you cant stop playing and thinking about that game yes than in my mind you are addicted. like for example sometimes i dream of my games.... lol thats funny. I play Dynasty Warrior 4 for hours a day its been like a long time now. anywhere between 2-6 hours of my time goes to DW4 and then some 2-6 hours go to Day of Defeat and then the rest of the time im on forumns and aim and do homework.... im in college biggrin.gif yet im only a freshman in highschool (soon to be sophmore)... sorry off topic but yeah thats what i call addiction when you play a bit too much and it takes up almost all your time.. when ill finish maxing every char out in DW4 i will prbably forget the game but man was it a long ride. But games with no end such as FFXI and Ultima Online are even worse since there is no end and if you get hooked you cant stop... i used to spend my whole weekend and most of the time after school getting vanquishing weapons and such in Ultima online... Same with day of defeat its more addicting because each time its different and it is with real people and different skill levels an dyou can always improve yourself... they still have cs tournaments where they give out like thousands of dollares.... thats what i call addicts....

Speaking OF Tetris- wow I used to play that for Hours and Hours. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, back in the day i couldn't put down my Pokemon game. Ahh Pokemon red. But that was like 1997 or something.

I used to be addicted to games when I was younger like in middle school and high school but now that I am about to graduate college I do not have the time to play the games I love as much as I want. The only things I am addicted to know is my good friends alcohol and nicotine.
