Don't try to tell me this gaming thing is just the same as every other teen phenomenon. It is entirely different in all sorts of insidious ways. I don't want what our civilisation is in the process of morphing into, since we have become tyrannised by an out of control, unregulated, undiscerning monster that swallows everything in its path. And lo... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00z66js#p00fkd9gSome eejit at a screen for 3 days solid, not eating or drinking, is now deid. Serves him right. and on today's You & Yours on Radio 4 - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00z66js#p00fkd9gVietnam is blocking access to the gaming sites after 10pm at night. Because folk are obsessed, and are going stark staring bonkers. What is wrong wi the orientals??? Why do they seem so susceptible to succumbing to utter mindlessness? Drowning in worthless pish, the world is. Why pick on the orientals? ever seen the supporters at/ before/after a Rangers/Celtic game?

Why pick on the orientals? ever seen the supporters at/ before/after a Rangers/Celtic game? I'm not picking on them. But it's certainly no football fans who are dying after sitting in front of a screen for 3 days. The worst of these stories are all about the orientals.

Years ago I read an SF story about how a wire could be implanted into the pleasure centre of the brain ( I believe work was done on mice at that time which gave the story credence) and users could plug themselves into a supply to stimulate the brain area involved,which in turn led them to give themselves more and more "jolts" to stimulate themselves,leading to constant use to the detriment of feeding/drinking/looking after themselves,whereupon they obviously croaked! Seems like the video game addiction route is a close parallel to this scenario!!! Pee Ess,I wouldnt be surprised knowing the amount of brain/surgery/knowledge,nowadays if the plugin direct route was not possible now!
