I like to ignore my kid's cries of hunger for a while as I play Far Cry 4, at least for a few missions. It adds realism and a layer of real life drama to the survivalist gaming mentality during such missions.
I am jacked into my water cooling system by a direct IV. I use my lifeblood to cool my gaming rig as I frag my way to being totally wasted.

Well, I'm just going to ignore the blatant spread of misinformation by OP. . .
I "cured" my video game "addiction" by playing them less, so I can accomplish more professionally. I hardly play more than 10 hours most weeks, and when I'm busy, I don't play at all.
Just do something you care about.
Meet you on the other side bro...
The main problem everyone here has is denial. You just refuse to accept that gaming is mentally harmful to you and you try to pretend it's "just another hobby". It isn't. It's a short term dopamine fix, but all it does is cause you to become socially inept, you will have the emotional maturity of a child, you will become lazy, you will get easily irritated.
Again, the main problem is denial. Stop trying to pretend that PC or console isn't harming you, deep down you know it is, but you're so scared of losing that pitiful level of enjoyment you get from staring into a monitor that you refuse to accept the truth.
Nobody is asking you to become the life of the party, you can just replace your gaming habbit with something more natural, like watering your garden and walking your dog, but get away from games because they're killing your brain.

Are you planning on curing your Addictions Addiction?
What the last two posts describe aren't addictions, though.
That's a healthy hobby.
It just depends. Define loser. There are grown adults on Twitch who play 40 plus hours a week, make good money, and have a wife/gf. Do they escape being a loser because they are lucky enough to make money from their hobby?
People are so worried about status, and what other people will think of them. NEWS FLASH: life is so short. In 50 years most of your friends will be either dead or dying.

I just don't buy new video-games. My girlfriend on the other hand...
For the most part multiplayer is the most addicting thing in games. Everyone tires of single player eventually.
I pay attention to how playing a certain game makes me FEEL. Some games require 20 minutes of dedicated time that can't be paused. Thats really sort of unacceptable.
I'll play like... minecraft solo survival and do dishes. Don't get all ambitious in mine craft and be like.... I'm going to chop down every tree and make it into a 35 story fortress... don't do that.
I didn't play PlanetSide2 because of the horrible grind, and battles that go on forever. I could participate for 2 hours in a battle that never ended and never achieve any objective I had my mind set on just because we were outnumbered or whatever. So I'd get off planet side 2 feeling shitty overall. Not to mention how much lag you eventually got used to. Any game that has an extravagant grinding system comes under immediate suspicion. Destiny is another game I won't touch.
