Scored 32% on video game addiction test

gaming — by TDavid @ 10:38 am PST

Played more videogames when I was younger and likely would have scored higher then. Thanks for the link Ken Edwards who scored 85%. Wonder what how his cohort Matt Paprocki scored?

I am 32% Video Game Addict.
I Play a Few Video Games

I may play video games but they don’t rule my life. Good for me. But I should be careful not to fall in the grasp of the loving glow of the TV or monitor.

My wife took the test and scored 17%:

Why did you even take this test? You probably don’t even know who Mario is! Do the world a favor and buy a console and a dozen games so people don’t think you are lame.

Here are the results of our boys:

Age 16: 52%

Video games are a big portion of your life, maybe too big of a portion. They are not a means of social interaction, despite what you might think. Go outside.

Age 15: 48%

Age 13: 52%

  3. I’m not sure why question #18 is out of order, Rinkx. It’s there though.

  4. Er, I mean I’m 18.

  5. I would have scored about there when I was in my teens, Rinkx, although after getting married I have since become more of a video game collector than player. I’m sure in my retirement years I’ll make up for some of this lost time during the earning years.

  11. Only got a 52%, to be honest I was expecting something much much higher. I guess I play video games a lot, but I have never let them interfere with my life.
