My son is a hardcore PC gamer. He plays from 3pm on every day, nonstop, until I force him to turn off the computer, which is usually between 8-11pm each night. He probably averages 40-50 hours a week

My younger brother is the same. At 14 years old, I swear he's already spent a year of his life just playing Counterstrike. It bothers me a lot when he doesn't respond to my parents' calling to him from downstairs. It just escalates. "Matthew?" Matthew?" "Hey, Matthew!?" "MATTHEW!"
...of course, that always seems to happen while I'm in the middle of a really tough math problem for class.
