I really dont buy into all that "Game Addiction" thing... people can get addicted to -anything-, from Tv to Sex... there isnt that big of a crowd of people who are tully, actually, "addicted" to play video games... at least it's not as big as some media outleds (including gaming blogs) seems to show.

It really depends on how you define addiction. Gaia has a statement in their agreement that they're not responsible for loss of productivity or drops in your grades. I signed that agreement thinking it was just a part of Gaia's humor. Then I got stressed out with college second semester, delved into Gaia, and my grades took a dive.

I actually got addicted to Gaia. Not the games, but just being able to hang out with the friends I made there and speak intelligently with the more mature users who frequented Site Feedback at the time.

So, yeah, addiction can happen with anything. Not necessarily the raving, withdrawal-inducing, chemical-change addiction that drugs cause, but more of a psychological need to escape. You can get caught up in either one, but non-drug addictions are just as hard to kick, not because you can't quit them, but because you could very well be like me and not realize there's a problem.

Proof that it wasn't terrorists, nor the government that did 9/11, but rather me(not to be taken seriously):

Since you all seem to be lagging behind in your memes around here, I figure I'll serve this one up while it is hot.

There is a program being Demoed out there on the internet by Microsoft, called Songsmith. What it does is it takes vocals sung, and then generates a MIDItastic music track to go along with it, based on certain input values.

You might have already seen it's hilariously awful commercial.

Well, the internet is now a flood of Songsmith inspired remixes. Check it out.

"Wonderwall" by Oasis
"Creep" by Radiohead
"I Heard It Through the Grape Vine" by Marvin Gaye
"Just What I Needed" by The Cars
"Roxanne" by The Police
"Long Train Runnin" by The Doobie Bros.
"What's Goin On" by Marvin Gaye
"Intergalactic" by The Beastie Boys
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles

Enjoy your meme, maybe even contribute.

Those songs are horrible.

Mike McC · 01-19-2009, 10:22 PM

Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious. That was totally not the intended point at all.

...OH GOD! This only proves Microsoft is Evil! They are doing Physiological attack with every teenaged tone deaf girl who ever lived. The Roxanne is Completely fucked up and they ruined one of my few favorite raps and Beatles songs.

For people who like really really awesome things that are fantastic:
