    O.K., you all are scaring the bejesus out of me! I have the mouthy 13 (well 14 as of Monday) and 15 year old who would play 24/7 if we didn't seriously restrict them. I was so hoping they would grow out of it and become productive members of society! The 14 year old has now made his career aspirations "video game tester". AAUUGHHH! (must say, I'm totally addicted to the computer so they come by it honestly!).

    LOL. From my experience with my 30-year-old hubby (and, yes, myself), no, it does not always go away. In fact, I didn't really start playing until hubby introduced me to Kingdom Hearts. Then I was sold and now I'm as bad as him. It's nice, when it gets stressful and hectic, to unwind for a while and "Batcave" (what he and I call our anti-social tendencies) with a good video game. And contrary to the popular belief that they encourage violence, some good old-fashioned bloody battles can be cathartic and keep us from going ballistic on each other or co-workers.

    The creation and selling of video game CAN involve big $$$$. Tell him to get to work and he can keep you in the lap of luxury if he's successful.... I'm serious. Look at all of us on here that play games. Somewhere, someone got 5 cars and a mansion for it.
