That dude plays 18 hours a day, has this blonde chick roaming around him, but the the dude is too busy playing Halo and shit on his xbox.

So which one of you is this guy? Step up for public humiliation

edit: he also attempted to beat a ddr world record...

Cowie · (12-30-2008, 05:41 AM)

Watching him scream at the television while playing DDR just made my week.

God's Beard · 05:49 AM

dude, he plays Shinobi. Trying to pry him from the screen wont work, you gotta set him up a GAF accout.

edit: wait, he plays 18-24 hours a day and he's ripped? Does he play DDR exclusively or what?

doogles · (12-30-2008, 05:45 AM)

I'm so not that guy, I don't have the attention span for it.

Also, the blonde is hot. The guy's cute too.

Sinister Hatter · (12-30-2008, 05:46 AM)

that blonde girl looks like a dude...

this guy · (12-30-2008, 05:47 AM)

Who cares about his addiction, did he win the world record?

ashism · (12-30-2008, 05:47 AM)

Man he could at least be addicted to a cool game on a more recent console.

Pfffft, not even a chemical addiction. The meth heads make the show, not these pansies.

Understandable.
I love the ending:
"He still plays games"

there's obviously something wrong with this guy that's not videogame related...

Mohonky · (12-30-2008, 05:54 AM)

Has the chick considered getting into some sexy lingerie and dancing in front of him to get him to take his focus off the game?

Worked fucking quick smart for me.

Only after watching this video do I realise the use of "gaming" instead of "playing" as a verb sounds kinda weird...

ipukespiders · (12-30-2008, 06:04 AM)

And his contribution to society is what?

sprsk · (12-30-2008, 06:07 AM)

That was totally pointless.

Fantastical · (12-30-2008, 06:08 AM)

This show is on right now. It's amazing how parents will enable their children to get addicted.

Truespeed · (12-30-2008, 06:11 AM)

Hmm, what's worse - a person with a video game addiction or some who posts a story about a person with a videogame addiction.

Tirade · (12-30-2008, 06:11 AM)

Motherfucker looks like Jim Carrey

I didn't watch the whole thing, but does the mother ever acknowledge that it was her fault?

Yeah, she does because he tried to kill himself when his parents divorced.

TL4E · (12-30-2008, 06:29 AM)

This one's hilarious, even though it's clearly staged.

Or not.

I was positive that this was a joke until I saw the A&E logo at the bottom of the screen.

what a lightweight

trupclow · (12-30-2008, 07:51 AM)

Hmm, great mother:

Dad: "She had to get rid of the excess weight when she decided to go back to school" (aka her family"

Mom: "I got rid of my children to further my career"

Mother of the fucking decade right there!

Truant · (12-30-2008, 08:38 AM)

Even the one in the OP looks staged to me. His mom looks like one of those over-acting no-name actors out there. Kinda like that guy who wants to push the detonator in the civilian boat in TDK. I hate those kinds of actors.

Musashi Wins! · (12-30-2008, 09:04 AM)

That's a total waste of time, but he does talk in an odd, dorky way that I associate with people who talk about games too much in public. He's just a nerdy dude.

Balzac · (12-30-2008, 09:06 AM)

Excessive gaming is just a symptom of this guy's depression and definitely not the cause. I'm sure the retreat did him good but weekly/monthly therapy likely would have helped a ton more.

_leech_ · (12-30-2008, 09:06 AM)

Well, I just finished about 3 hours straight of Gears 2... does that make me an addict?

*watches video*

I need to move out NOW.

xKilltheMx · (12-30-2008, 09:12 AM)

I demand a gif of him going "Mmmm" while shaking his head at 1:10, it would suit this thread fantastically.

Watched King of Kong for the first time last night. I'm picturing this guy as being one of the "competitive gamers" on there. Can't watch this at work so don't know if I'm right or not.
