Your Addictions!Name Your Poison!!!

.....Or, maybe he just grew out of them!

How old is your son? maybe he´s replacing this addiction to a hotter, harder, sweater one...if you know what i mean...

Yep!
He's 18, and has several girlfriends--so, I know he is definitely not an innocent litle boy anymore!
But, thats normal.

I wouldn't say he grew out of them. As a game veteran, I can tell you that games are not "kiddie" or whatever and not something you "grow out of." It just seems like his attention has been focused elsewhere.

I´ve been playing quite intense some years ago, but stopped 3 years before or something like that... and, beside music, one reason is, that newer games mainly suck, imo of course..

[Lucid Faia]

Agreed. You can't beat classic games. NES and SNES all the way.

[Twilightsymphony]

I never had a console, but i played Sonic on a friends Sega all night long when i was there

But the older pc games from.. 1993 to 1996-97 were much better than nowadays i think. There are so many classics, Prince Of Persia, Civilization, Marathon (atleast on Macs), Monkey Island I & II, Warcraft I & II and they still rock, played some of ém some weeks ago..

newer games totally lack creativity i think. The only difference is mainly the graphical level...

[browneyedgirl]

Yep, those were his favs!;)
Plus, Playstation 1&2, a Game Boy&a Sega Game Gear.
He also had a Sega Dreamcast which we got on the Internet with!
He held on to the Nintendo64, though.
But, yes the SNES had the best games, IMO.
I must confess that I enjoyed those games, too&played them with my son quite a bit. I understood his "addiction" even though at times, I disapproved of the huge chunks of time he spent on them.
But, like I said before, at least he wasn't going out& geting into trouble---Gaming is a totally harmless addiction--except it can get pretty damn expensive!

[gon]

sex, metal, beer and gym...perfect life...

Well, it could be better, but I am not disappointed with that.

Agreed!

I´ve bought play2 a couple of months ago and i play every once in a while to distress myself!

Yep--probably on Whitney, Amber1&2, Britney, Lacy,Kayla, Kristin, Jamie, Diana, and some others names I forgotten!
Like I say, his addiction is the phone now!

[browneyedgirl]

Some people are addicted to *GASP* soap operas&reality shows!
If THAT does not get ya into Rehab, nothing will! :rotflmao2:

[NightOwl]

My worst addiction is good food. It's complicated because you can't live without eating, but on the other hand I have a bad habit of overeating. I like to cook and I especially love food including cream, cheese, sour cream and other fattening stuff. I have trouble trying to not to gain too much weight. Unfortunately I'm not addicted to sports.

My second addiction goes with my food addiction; wine, beer and sometimes other booze. I also have a bad habit of drinking too much.
Then there's internet, music, coffee, staying up all night and sleeping all day, not paying my bills on time, not cleaning up, washing dishes, hoovering or dusting so my apartment is a mess and so on... Laziness in general!

[browneyedgirl]

One "innocent" addiction I have-although it afected me more in the past--is Crossword Puzzles&Find the Word Puzzles.
I went through this craze several years ago, when I was still married. I still have several blank puzzlebooks I intend to fill out Someday!
I was really addicted, too! I'd be sitting around filling out these things&my Ex would say,"Haven't you got anything better to do?!!" I'd just reply,"Nope!" And his friends would say,"Ahhhh, leave her alone--at least shes not out hunting stray D***!":lol: And, he would laugh, and the beat goes on!

I still fill out the USA Today&TVGuide puzzles--I can't give up the addiction completely. Its harmless, afterall!

[HvyMtlClickWitch]

What is with you, BEG, and exploiting the psyches of those around you???

here's my list of addictions.

1. RITUAL. i have to have cranberry juice every morning, first thing. i have to pray five times a day, at certain times. i have to go to sleep at a certain time, and leave for class at a certain time. i must have coffee when i practice guitar. My room has to look a certain way before i can study. i must have scented oil burning at all times. Various nonsensical things are my modus operandi.

2. METAL. Metal is the only thing i care about. If i did not have metal, i would be dead.

3. ANGER. i feel the most alive when i am full of wrath and hatred. if i did not feel these things, i would be complacent indeed. Anger for those which i feel contempt causes me to make myself strive harder for an even higher standard.

4. TEA. i drink a whole lot of it. All kinds; british black teas, turkish teas, mate, green teas, even stuff i make myself out of whatever i find in my footlocker or outside.

okay, that's about all i can think of right now.

[Equinox]

I cannot live without:

Chocolate.
Internet.
Music.
Friends.
The News.
Loneliness.
Chocolate.
Endless hours of sleep.
Free time.
The First Amendment of The Constitution.
A watch in my arm.
Chocolate.
The ability to flirt.

[iron_thunder]

metal. sex. metal. cigarettes. metal. metal.METAL. cigarettes. metal.


and before people tell me i need to stop smoking, hey i'm not doing chemicles anymore, and hardly even drinking, so like... i'm allowed to smoke cigarettes. HA!

[Man From Sun]

Music! simple choice there

[luriah]

music, cigaretts, friends, computer (even without internet)

[NeonVomit]

AAARgh isnt there a way to choose more than one??

Music (METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL!!!""!!!"!£$^$%&^)
Internet
Sex
Booze (on occasion)

[MetalAngel]

Music is my addiction.

Sex is not, as I don't need any girl to f*** with, I can masturbate...otherwise, why would God gave us the right hand???

Beer is not, as I drink more water than any Orca...

Internet could be an addiction if only I hadn't my bed...

Bed is an addiction...

Goodnight!!!

[Bryant]

I would have to choose three : food, music and beer.

[cliff]

I'd say :

1- girlfriend
2- internet
3- music
4- videogames

[cliff]

Expensive ? You obviously don't know anything about Playstation! I think the PSOne opened the market for illegal chips

The Nintendo 8 bits console was really good.
The Super Nintendo is known to be the best console ever.
I have never been a fan of 32 bits or 64 bits console. I think that something is wrong with those. They tried to put 3D everywhere, but the hardware couldn't follow.
I'm not a big fan of 128 bits neither, but I have to admit that Playstation 2 is a wonderful console. XBox sucks big time. The box is huge, make a horrible noise and the games are too "Direct 3D" style !
The Gamecube. That's the only standalone console that I have, and I think it's great. really entertaining, typical for both children and adults. And it's cheap and small.

I bought it 2 years and a half ago cause the price dramatically decreased and I have always wanted to have Zelda The Wind Waker. I have quite many games but I hadn't really played, until few months ago, and since I spent all my time playing, until really late in the night. I'm so addicted

This morning, I saw some videos of under-development games for the Playstation 3. It really seems this console is going to be handsome !

!

There's a bit of a difference there though! Taking care of it yourself and actually doing it is like the difference between riding a horse and flying the concorde!

[CottonCandy]

Chocolate
vodka
good books
sex
love
good music
Italian and Mexican food
Cashmere
Good perfume
Internet

This browneyedgirl person seems a bit kooky, but I'd like her, I think. This topic is far out!

[Solitude_Within]

I cant pick one Im addicted to them all well booze not so much but i do get smashed every once and a while.

Well being 17 prevents me from buying to much booze which seems to be a good thing...

[gon]

Someone rescued the topic! well done!

To continue with it.... I would say that addictions can be different through the years...

I don't think I'll ever be able to give up Internet, even when I'm old and gray!
Sex, either.
Or, Vodka
