Yesterday, one of our clients asked me to do some cartoons to help promote a video that discusses addiction to videogames. The above drawing is one of them.

I’m not sure if I was ever addicted to videogames, even though I sometimes played 4-6 hours a day. Maybe it was more like 8-10 hours a day, I don’t quite remember. I’m not sure if you could call playing the same game over and over, with the same results and no personal growth involved, an addiction. I’m not sure if the numb feeling I had when I played a game for hours on end was a true fix for whatever emotional pain I may have been experiencing at that time. I’m sure I just played videogames because they were fun. I’m sure there was another reason I kept playing them even when they weren’t fun anymore.
