From hardcore MMORPG players to Angry Birds<\/i> addicts, everyone has been slightly addicted to a videogame at least once.<\/p>\n
But sometimes, that addiction can literally take over your whole life. Here are 7 signs you might be addicted to a videogame…<\/p>\n
Why leave your favourite game at home when you can play it all the time<\/i>?! FIFA<\/em>\u2019s Ultimate Team app is the worst culprit, giving you the opportunity to trade players on the go and spend even<\/i> more time with your fictional football club.<\/p>\n You know you\u2019ve got a problem when\u201d\u00a6 <\/b>you go to the pub and spend most of your time on the app.<\/p>\n And we don\u2019t just mean other games. You avoid nights out with your friends, and sleep and showers. You might be avoid human contact altogether. Either way, your dedication to your beloved game is probably a bit too strong.<\/p>\n You know you\u2019ve got a problem when\u201d\u00a6 <\/b>you wake up on the sofa, controller in hand, in the same clothes you\u2019ve been wearing for a week. The smell is a dead giveaway too…<\/p>\n Videogames are supposed to be fun yet they can occasionally start to feel like a full-time job. Completing the same few raids on Destiny<\/i> just to get the Ice Breaker, or playing endless games on FIFA to afford Ronaldo – is it really that fun?<\/p>\n You know you\u2019ve got a problem when\u201d\u00a6 <\/b>you turn a game on a set time, give yourself a lunch break and then clock off at a certain time. Give yourself double points if you write progress reports charting your quest to whatever it is you\u2019re trying to achieve.<\/p>\n Everyone knows that game requests on social media are the most annoying thing on the planet, so why do people keep sending them? It\u2019s because they\u2019re the only way to get yourself a few more precious gems or goodies to keep going. What\u2019s more important: friends or progress?!<\/p>\n You know you\u2019ve got a problem when\u201d\u00a6 <\/b>you\u2019ve lost half of your friend list because of Candy Crush <\/i>requests.<\/p>\n Thinking about your Call of Duty <\/i>loadout on the bus is fine. But if you\u00a0you might have a problem if you find yourself thinking about assault rifles and grenades during dinner, dates or nights out!<\/p>\n You know you\u2019ve got a problem when\u201d\u00a6 <\/b>you can\u2019t remember your last holiday because you spent the whole time thinking about what armour you\u2019re going to buy on World of Warcraft<\/i>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re not just talking about the odd expletive here. We\u2019re talking these guys<\/i> levels of angry.<\/p>\n
