Video games are a blessing and a curse. I know a gamer who lost his marriage over Counter-Strike. I also know a gamer who is still alive today because of her video gaming community. This video summarizes the two remarkably well -- props to the author!
Question: What are your thoughts on the video? Have you experienced any of this in your life, or the life of someone you know?
I hope to blog soon about some of my experiences with video gaming.

Great video!
To a much lesser extent than most, it ruled my life for a time. I have also experienced gaming community at it's best (or close to it). I am also quite glad he mentioned the good, not just the bad of it all.
But you're a little wrong when you say "Video games are a blessing and a curse.", or maybe not.
I think:
Video Games (generally speaking) are a blessing OR a curse and whether it be blessing or curse is up to the choices of the player.
Lot of peoples around the world love to play games when they're in depression!! Even I love to play games when I feel very sad. I don't know because of games peoples are breaking up or divorcing. But I can surely say games made the gamers strong to live the life without any regrets. Thanks
