According to UK threapist Steve Pope, who is a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), with a B.A. in Law, an Advanced Certificate in Counselling and a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, "spending two hours on a game station is equivalent to taking a line of cocaine in the high it produces."
Now I'm sorry, but this is simply crazy. Ok, so this guy has some serious qualifications, but really? Either this is the worst coke ever seen on the entire planet, or it's the most amazing video game ever created, we just haven't heard about it yet. This really did shock me, and I think it annoys me how ignorant some people can be on the issue. No way in hell should 2 hours of gaming ever be compared to 1 line of coke, and I know that with zero medical qualifications. What are your thoughts?

Ive decided im quitting games because of this.
[/sarcasm]And im now doing coke as a line of coke takes much less time than 2 hours. I bet the professor was trying to help us game addicts but now hes got me on coke.[sarcasm]

It is trying to say how addictive games are. It's true. If you are addicted to coke and your half way done a line and somehow someone stops you or interrupts you from finishing, it's equivalent(or more) to how pissed off you would get if you were playing two hours online on MW2 and right before you got a quad your mom shut of the internet.
I don't need no physician to tell me that shit, I know from experience.
I mean I haven't done coke but, my mom has turned off the internet at the worst times before.

What you're explaining and what he said are totally different things. Plus that article was written with the sole intent of getting publicity and filling up pages so why is everyone getting so mad?

It sounds really crappy. Coke gets you high, video games can no way in hell do that. But coke is addicting and so are video games, but video games are easier to get off of.

I was giving an example. The guy who wrote the article was being bias about the fact that in those 2 hours you were having fun playing. That article would be 100% wrong if in those 2 hours you were hating on the game.

He's saying that for every 2 hours of game you'll be as high as if you took a line of coke not addiction wise. Basically we all are bastards who are high on coke.

i don't really feel dizzy or anything unless i'm lying down... lol, i play for more then 2 hours, it like, watching t.v for more then 2 hours is equivalent to taking a line of coke, but really sure of it meaning, but it probably similar ' almost near to' something like that, when i play online, i usually go for longer then 2 hours, sometime i go on after school, and then stop until it 10pm, i know it bad for me, i do have a life, i'm active, eyes are getting worse, i guess gaming is just an addiction, similar to getting addicted to drugs i guess
