Nerd sues video game company for getting addicted to nerd game!!!

Video games can be pretty addicting. Now, a judge will decide if one video game maker should pay. A man in Hawaii is suing because he says he’s suffering from video game withdrawal. Craig Smallwood claims he became “psychologically dependent and addicted” to the video game “Lineage II” published by game-maker “NCsoft.” So far, the court has dismissed several of Smallwood’s claims, but they allowed him to keep his “gross negligence” claim, which says the company was negligent in providing this software to the public when they knew of the potential dangers of addiction or dependence. Smallwood says that he played “Lineage II” for over 20,000 between 2004 and 2009. That averages out to nine hours a day.

Man if only they had lawsuits back in the day when Madden ‘96 dropped for Super Nintendo I’d be a millionaire by now. Like I don’t even know how many hours I spent on those mini-games for the Create A Player mode trying to get K.MARKO to 100% ability. Probably a billion. At least a million trying to do that impossible 40 yard dash where you basically just mash ABABAB together until your thumbs bleed. Shit was so simple back then too. You click on a team and it would say “The Giants possess a solid defense.” “The Chargers possess a gutsy offense.” “The 49ers are the best team in the NFL.” Ok sweet I’ll be the Niners. These days you can’t start the game until you give your offensive tackle a 3 year contract extension with player incentives and negotiate hot dog rates at the concessions. Just way too realistic. No wonder this guy Craig Smallwood is so pissed. Probably finally beat his RPG nerd game at hour 20,000 and all the monsters and zombies climbed out of the screen and punched him in the cock.
