Living with First Person Shooter Disease

While funny, it does also demonstrate a point: Graphics in first person shooters has improved over the years, but controls and gameplay have sort of gone unchanged since Duke Nukem or even Doom.

Sure the environments are bigger and destructable to some degree and the enemies are a bit smarter - but you still control a character with severely limited motor skills. Even if the graphics was to become 100% photo real, you would still not be able to fully "live" in the game.
 
I would like to see a similar video that focus on women's shopping addiction. You can watch lots of ladies stitched into a shoe shop windows very often indeed. That is really a grave disease.
Another idea for a similar video would be Beyonce's "Put on a ring on it" syndrome. Girls that want to marry you at any cost....that is really scary...indeed much more than Doom 3 or Dead Space game.

You don't even know what addiction is son. I used to wake up and not leave my room, play, go to sleep, wake up play, go to sleep, wake up play, go to sleep. Vicious cycle. Thank god I did this when I was 13 and not now.
 
It's just a matter of time before Jack Thompson get a hold of this video and present it to the judges as evidence how video games are ruining out lives lol

Knowing him, he just might! Thank God he was disbarred.

When HL came out (yes the orig) I got it when I was on winter break from school. I had played till 2 in the morn, got out of my chair and went to sleep (comp chair and bed where right next to each other) Woke up at 8 the next day, got out of bed, and went into computer chair.

What seemed just like a moment went buy when I noticed it was 3:00. I had not used the rest room, eaten, or anything. I suddenly had to pee like no tomorrow.

Good times.
 
Reminds me of something I read on the internet some time back(as a joke) of some kid walking to school with his knife out so he would get there faster,great video!
 
I frequently almost slip into Burnout Paradise mode during my commute...it takes all of my will power to resist any number of takedown opportunities.
 
I call fake. We all know a player's arms don't move when you are sitting still. :p

yeah thats FPS Doug, some one mentioned that vid back a couple posts. this video is really just extrapolating on that one a bit. i loved the way fps doug jumped exactly like the cs jump. :)
 
How about a long night of GTA and then getting into your car and go to buy some snacks, that can be a surreal experience.

"Your honor, while this video is made in jest, it shows the sad situation and reality of how things currently are. Comedy is often based loosely on reality and you can see the reality in this video. While our kids are not actually wandering around with this fictional disease, they are suffering from another. Corruption of the mind and heart. Grand Theft Auto has already blah blah etc.." - Jack Thompson
