Halo 3 launched September 25th of 2007. Since it’s release, I have played over 2000 games. A rough estimate of an average game length would be about 8 minutes. Not including time between games and time playing campaign or reviewing videos(which adds up), I have played about:

266 hours
or
11 + days

of halo in the past 146 days.
That is 13.3 % of my time since the release.

Addicted? Sure.
Do I regret a second of it? Not a chance.

Why? because i know how to maintain an appropriate balance between health, relationships, family, and pleasure. I have a full time job making around 50 k / year, I am 23.

I simply want to interject that it is possible to be a functioning internet addict. Plus all the good sites are blocked at work.

You’re not addicted to the internet. Let’s be more specific. Are you addicted to porn, or online gambling, or gaming, etc.?

The internet just makes it easier for you to get your fix.

Moving back 50 years before you have the internet. If the cars or the buses makes it soooo convenient for you to go to the casino, are you addicted to the transportation or to gambling..

Quite addicted I’d say. OCD symptoms, panic attacks and most PTSD symptoms including multisensory hyperacusis. Pretty much the works. It’s been a disabling illness for me, for the past 2 years now. It really sucks.

I am 25, run my own business, didn’t bother going to school, I have no debt and doing perfectly fine financially. I spend a lot of time on the net, and communicate a lot via the Internet with colleagues, friends and family everyday.

It’s more of a godsend than an addiction as it has improved my life more than anything else, opening a lot of opportunities in our ever more restrictive real world.

This is quite the opposite from the study you have posted.
