I'd just like to say I knew a guy who would get home from work, sleep for a few hours then get up in the night to play counter strike right through, drinking a few cans of red bull before work. Now that's addiction and the reason he smashed his car on his journey to work lol.

Would you find more people for your doc on a video game forum?  Just a thought.

Quoted from jayrex
I thought it might be interesting for you to know that a popular game called Championship Manager has been citied as a reason for divorce in three or four cases.  Thought this maybe of some interest.

It's called Football Manager now after SI broke with Eidos for SEGA.

Completely true.  Probably more divorces now that it's FM2008.

Has anyone read this page?

The quotes are so funny.  Someone asks if this was a wind up.

I ruined my writer mates life for two years as all he did was play it and not write.  He's blamed me for a loss in time.  This game has devastating effects.
