If you squint real hard it kinda looks like Dr. Phil...

But then again I've been drinking.

Unrelated, but I want an XBLA Harvest Moon! Imagine the DLC, they could add new events and places for you to visit. Make it 2d and it make it more playable. Just pretty much an enhanced Harvest Moon 64.

I dunno why I play The Sims 3, having a house and GF I'll never have in real life. At least I feel better being more disconnected from reality playing as a space marine.

I don't know how bad of a problem this woman had. Maybe she needed help. You can never tell if the story exaggerates or not. With that taken into account though, I still hate Dr. Phil.

Last I checked, psychology is a legitimate social science.

What's pseudo-scientific about it?

Sorry, I meant psychiatry. Psychology is a perfectly legitimate science.

This is the only article with the tags "depressing-stories" and "get-your-life-together".

Umm, we were together 7 years, broke up 5 months ago, the Second Life addiction has been going on for about 3 and a half years. I got a nearly 6 year old daughter and nearly 3 year old son.

Wow. I had no idea that Second Life was good enough to play for 3 years.

You're better off dude. And you deserve recognition both for being a good father and dealing with bullshit for so long.

Thats fairly commonplace i would have thought. I know a few couples with kids who aren't married, they either cant afford to or mostly dont want to.

The only problem this woman has is being addicted to games that suck. I'd hate to see what happens if she actually got her hands on a halfway decent game.

.....

I hate to admit it, but I'm having the same problem with my own mother... But with Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing.

It started when I got AC GC for Christmas one year. I had told my Mom about it, and she was interested for once. I was excited that she was interestered in a Video Game for once. Then things went sour...

She started kicking me out of my room, all night, just to play the Gamecube. Got so bad I had to move the GC out to her room. Then she found Harvest Moon. She got A Wonderful Life. She gave it to me and said "Play this, then teach it to me". Annoying yes, but I was fine with it at the time. The game actually wasen't that bad. Took here a few months to start playing the game, but when she did, it got bad. The music kept me up all night, as the one wall between our rooms has a vent between them, and I could hear everything. That repeditive music was so annoying... Then she went on a HM spree. She got every Harvest Moon for both GC and PS2 (and a PS2 in the process, I didn't mind though, I get to play it :P).

After a while, she finally got tired of all of that and stopped... Then I got a Wii. It was good for a few months, when I didn't have to worry about anyone else. Then she went out of her way to get Animal Crossing City Folks for herself. I told her she could only play the Wii if she got herself a controller... Big mistake. Since then, she's been playing the Wii almost every waking moment she's at home. She's moved from ACCF to Rune Factory Frontier, but she's still playing EVERY WAKING MOMENT! even kicks me off when she gets home. To put that into prospective, according to the nintendo channel, my most played game is Smash Bros Brawl, at about 150 hrs. She's played ACCF and RFF for over 1000 hrs. EACH!

Sorry bout that wall of text, just wanted to blow off some steam on a similar situation.

Seriously, Natsume is worse than PopCap. I was addicted to Harvest Moon 64 for nearly a year.

Just, after all I've been through, I feel nothing for them.

I didn't like HM. Maybe I don't get the point, but then again I don't properly play games that give you such a degree of freedom.

I would go fishing, sell what I caught, drink at the bar, and repeat that process every day.
