My answer = F 
 
I'm pretty sure if I wanted to I could not play for quite a long time... considering I've went probably a month without them before due to a dry spell in releases, and vacations and stuff like that where I don't play games for a week... so yeah. I don't think I'm physically addicted at all.

Maybe I guess.  I do love to play them.  I think I would go crazy if I didn't have the internet though.  I would rather have internet then T.V.

And seriously, if you care about the results of a poll how about you keep the answers unbiased?  Some of those are just too long, specific and/or idiotic.

Institute Of Technology Carlow, Republic Of Ireland.The course was developed with Microsoft.

I have two tips for people going into dev courses,
1. They are not game design courses there is some design but they are technical courses.
2.Know your maths, I can scrape through but its always a struggle.

How much do they expect you to know when you first jump in? How much experience did you have when you started?

Most people who are left had some programming exp before first year.But a couple had never programmed before and are really good. I had done some python coding but not a lot.Really if you have an aptidude for programming you can go in with no knowledge(they dont assume any).First year you learn most programming concepts through C#.Second year is almost all c++ with some engine programming(scripting using c# with the neoaxis engine) also projects using c++ and opengl.As well as datastructures,human computer interfaces and Program Design.Third year beginning September 14th yays! is mostly developing a project in the Gamebryo engine(Oblivion and Fallout 3) as well as 6 months placement.

I'd go with F. I'm not addicted to video games. I still love to play video games, and I wouldn't give it up unless I had a decisively good reason. But I can still put down the controller if I need to.

Not really. Although I play video games a lot, I never become addicted to one particular game, mainly because I abandon it once it's beaten.

* turns on pissed music* First, I voted F, like many of you. Second, I am never addicted to one particular game; again, I beat games and then never touch them again. Why do I have so many beaten games? They're all part of the Royal Game Library, duh!

Back quite a few years ago my parents and me went to Boston to see if I actually was addicted to videogames.  They interviewed me and told me I was not addicted to videogames or the internet.
 
So I for one can definitively say I am officially not addicted to videogames by clinical definition.
