    it's funny, i've known this for a while, but i never know how bad the methods were. it's fairly disturbing.

    i found this within the article, first hand accounts of addiction: http://kotaku.com/5384643/i-kept-playin ... -addiction

    i've got a friend who's writing a master thesis about this right now, this'll make him happy.
