O.k so all of us here like to play games, but what about those who go over the top those among us who get obsessive.
My first example is one related to Game-Cube and rares last ever edition to its gaming menagery ' Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet' in this game there is a language (not a human one obviously) and some 'geeks' have already taken to using this language to email to and speak to each other.
These few are obsessive and,(considering that the game isnt out in the U.K for a good month and a half) are really very sad and you wonder: What happened to them as kids?
Second in the 'obsession list' is Halo 2, granted this will be truly a brilliant game but with all this hype surely all we are setting ourselves up for is a big dissapointment when we realise that Halo 2 is a great game but not photo realistic and the A.I does not feel human emotion.Now the reason this gets in the 'obsession list' is not because of the anticipation ,because i myself am looking forward to getting this game, but simply for the fact that it is already no.1 in the official uk xbox magazine's most wanted list (and lots of others for that matter) when the earlyest it is going to be out is christmas 2003.
These arent really to obsessive but it all adds up.
Third are those who dont just watch star trek they revere it. Dont get me wrong star trek is definately a monumental t.v program for our generation and will be remembered for more to come but memorising every show of all the hundreds and there names is that not obsessive?
These are obsessive and you wonder what happened to them as adults where did their adult lives go and when will there childlike natures disperce and mature?
So here you have it just a few of the many examples of people who posess this obsessive compulsive gaming disorder.
And finally i will leave on this word: games are to be respected but not revered t.v programs to be watched not worshipped.

There are "hardcore" fans in every hobby. Be it games, movies, tv etc.
Some do take it a bit too far by learning the Klingon language or dressing up as their favourite game characters (especially in Japan).
In the end though, although weird, it is ultimately a harmless pursuit enjoyed by a minority of nerds. If being able to name all the planets in the Star Wars universe or speaking Ewok makes them happy, then so be it.
