Dear Reader:
MTV putting out casting call for 'True Life: Addicted to Video Games
From the MTV posting…
Have video games totally taken over your life? Is your game play increasingly getting out of control? Have your friends or family confronted you about your gaming habit? How about your marriage or personal relationships – are they being affected? Is it difficult to balance work and gaming time? Do you sometimes skip doing homework or household responsibilities to play? Have you played video games as a way of escaping your problems? Has your game playing habit become so encompassing that you may need to go to rehab to kick it? If you can identify with any of the above, MTV wants to hear from you.
If you appear to be between the ages of 18 and 29 please apply now and tell us ALL of the following: Your age, your city and state, why you feel you’re addicted to gaming, and how its affecting your life. Be sure to include a recent picture or two and a current phone number.
I’d love for someone to get on here and do nothing but praise games, and show why they do much more good than bad. I doubt that’ll happen though…
