sweden, actually

Owned. :D

Still...I think, as Americans, we should get started on having our "addictions" or lifestyles labeled as disabilities. If the government is willing to pay for my addiction to overpriced Doctor Who boxed set's, then so be it.

That's true, but I wonder if they would pay for my addiction to Defcon, The Sims 2, and Kim Possible and Inuyasha cartoon watching as well... Hmmm Makes you wonder doesn't it.. But only in Sweden.. the Land of Pantless Donald Duck!:p

There's actually a thread in the video game forum about obsessive gaming being classified as a psychiatric disorder:

I remember hearing about this on the radio before.

The guy's just a moron who has no idea how to prioritize his life. He should be mocked, not rewarded.
