Is it just me or does DSM-IV sound more like a killer video game title than a psychological classification tool?
“I beat DSM-IV in three days. Sweet.”
Well, the AMA has recently made some interesting rulings in the realm of video games and video game addiction. Just think, someday gamers will be on disability for their addiction and you may have to call the cops on kids huddled in your alley playing PSP.
As if our world could deal with an even smaller margin of personal responsibility. MK2 said it best, “Fatality!”

Well I guess we will know shortly thereafter when the Apocalypse is upon us when gaming is on the level of drugs and alcohol, and we’ll need specialized rehab centers to deal with this commonplace “addiction”
