A study shows... "Harry Potter addicts find giving up wizard books harder than ditching cigarettes, says study" - read more at The Daily Mail. What are you most addicted to? For me I think its anime and figures.
Mine is definitely video games. I love them so much, I decided to work in the video games industry. It's an awesome job, but it really doesn't help my addiction at all!
I don't think i could give up gaming... .. it clears my head of all the rubbish that floats around in there O_o
Haha, used to be the same as you. Was highly addicted to games, but now that I have none of the new consoles...
Me too, not only video games, any kind of game is fine as long as I can enjoy them ^^
I'd have to say figures and girls.. Both 3D and 2D girls. Other things I'm attracted to would be world domination..
Ack- unconciously said "figures and girls" I meant "anime and girls" Freudian slip of the finger?
LMAO! Oh, that was rich! Slip of the finger. I see what you did there.
i'd say mostly figures, i find myself buying or preordering at least one a week. other addictions include anime and eroge.
I think my "poison" is fabrics o_o; ever since I got into sewing clothing for dolls, I cannot step out of a fabric store without buying something, esp if they have adorable japanese cotton prints (argh!)
Dunno really, the thing is that I get tired of things so fast. The only games that really can get me stuck is JRPG's with good story. I still buy every good game that comes out though, but it isn't often that I complete them. So I would have to say that it is the otaku life overall that has me addicted, since there are a lot of new things to see and acquire.
My addiction is to no study. I really hate to study :<
I'm addicted to sleeping, but when I'm not sleeping, it's dannychoo.com.
Touhou games definitely. Ever heard of the tetris effect? I have that except with danmaku. When I close my eyes I can see Flandre's Q.E.D. "Ripples of 495 Years" go off. >.> yeah I'm pathetic.
me addicted to gundam and school girls with short skirts, for books i mostly stuck with gamebooks, the fantasy ones
Addicted to anime and figures as well. Other addictions include science fiction novels, specifically, Gaunt's Ghosts.
Currently I'm not addicted to anything, probably to gundams and figures but even that I'm up to side lately and only buying the ones I consider worth buying. Trying to find some other interesting stuff to do like photography.
OMG! Harry Potter is my drug! I've lined up at midnight for every book and movie!
I like playing video games, watching anime, but I don't think I'm at the level of addiction. They are just hobbies.
Final Fantasy... That is why I'm called a Final Fantasy Freak not merely fan or geek a Freak
hmmm... final fantasy. almost an addict. but not quite there yet.
VIII is by far my favorite as well. Loved the story and the junctioning system, as I always say, a complete game is one that you don't have to make prequels or sequels or movies or remakes...and I am still playing it... ...and Triple Triad!!!! and the music! Although I do have one wish for VIII if they do decide to do a remake: overhaul of the 3d engine would be nice and voices. Heck, I would buy the ps3 if that happened
What's your favorite ff?
mine is ffviii, which is considered as the worst by some. but it was my first and it got me into everything else. into tactics on psp right now.
You are right, I consider FF VIII to be a complete mess... I still wonder how it would have turned out if they kept the original system (battle, magic, equipment, funds, etc.). I will buy FFT very soon and enjoy lost sensations... Can't wait for the climactic fight against Bariaus and many other enjoyable moments.
even though my first one was FFVII on PC, i also played VIII on PS and enjoyed it very much. i didn't start over 5-6 times to work out different story-arcs like in VII, but was thinking about playing it again and enjoying the great background music on my 5.1 audio setup. the end fight was not as challenging as expected but the atmosphere was on par with the ending of FFVII and FFX. just my two cents...
I wonder what would have happened if new school gamers were introduced to a full remake of FF VI (in 3D version and all) with a deepened plot and so on... This game for me has been unrivaled (in the series along with the original FFT), in terms of characters, story and magic.
I totally agree, FFVIII was by far the best one....... The forests of Timber sure have changed.
I'm a 100% music addict, I'd probably die without it. Guess I'm a bit anime addicted too!
I feel pretty strongly about music too my friend.
music is humanity's strongest weapon...look what happened in macross
Yes, we humans flew in tranforming jets. Wait, you mean the music. Ahhh.
Yep! Music and anime. That's for sure.
gaming, gunpla when I have it, forums, manga, anime...
it's Gundams for me. although I have to say, reading up your post and checking out comments every now and then would probably count as an addiction as well. if so I'm guilty of that too. ^^;
I'm an internet/e-mail addict.
I'm addicted to food, cant go through a day without a proper breakfast,lunch & dinner. I hate it when I get hungry, cant focus ^^;
my drugs are anime, videogames, mechas, gundam plamos and model kits D=
Definitely Anime/Manga/Figures and all other related paraphanelia. No doubt.
my must haves are internet, anime, and gunpla. i think i would go crazy if i didn't have computer access for a week.
and about the Harry Potter books, i never really understood the phenomena behind them. i mean i read all 7 books. but i didn't have Pottermania. compared to Harry Potter, the LotR books were so much better, i will even go so far as say that the Potter books were kiddy. I think its unfair that the media only hyped Harry Potter, i think people would benefit more from reading the 6 volume masterpiece known as Akira instead.
I agree, was told not to read the Harry Potter books because they were a little immature. Terry Goodkinds "Wizards First Rule" is where its at. Trust me people. Just. Trust. Me.
wow, so someone else enjoyed that book. i liked the book so much, i went and read the rest of the books in the series. i believe the last one i finished was the pillars of creation
You mean, you havent finished the series? WTF Man!?!?! Pillars of Creation was the worst one.. it gets sooooo much better. The final book had my heart racing.
guess i kind of stopped due work, haven't had any time for reading lately...will finish the series one of these days
You should, its worth it.
the last i finished is the wizard's first rule. ^^; have the rest but haven't gotten around to reading them yet.
same here, but for me it's the wheel of time. that's what i call an epic. too bad the author passed on before finishing the last book.
I dont even know how to feel about that. Robert Jordan was a nuclear Physicist, the world lost an interesting man.
>_>; i never really understood harry potter people in the first place, but i guess the same could be said about me. never can i give up-anime,manga & yaoi :)
internet anime figures gundam girls
Anime and doujinshi, it's unstoppable.
I'm most addicted to Gundam models and reading in general.
Wonder if it's a conclusion from a study made by super conscious religious representatives. My loved poisons? Japanese videogames, anime, naps and the Internet (including a certain site by a urban stormtrooper that likes to express his otakuness).
We all have vices. Mine are still women and Cars/motorcycles. Gunpla, Anime, and art are also up there.
anime, manga, video games, figures, moelicious and lolilicious 2D girls and some 3D idols and shoujo-ai/yuri are my Anti-Drug ^__________________^
Will will not able to live without a dose of Anime, Internet,games,and acknowlagement of computer functions. Without that I will commit seppuku!!!Ahhhhhhh
I'm addicted to awesome.
Well, at least their addiction is a little healthier~
My life could be summarized in addictions... comic books, movies, series, manga, anime, figures... Right now, I can't live without my daily dose of RSS feeds. Counter Strike:Source and Team Fortress 2... I'm slowly getting rid of both, but there are still some days I can go playing 5+hours. But I need healthier addictions... and specially, some addicton that pays me, not otherwise. :P Oh, about Harry Potter... I never read a book, or watched a movie 'till now. I'm one in a million... Nothing against it... I just decided to wait 'till the Harry Potter fever passes. Problem is, it's taking a long time to pass. :P
My addiction would be my computer and everything in it (anime, yaoi manga internet!) oh and if ever there's a fire..I already have this big bag where all my books, laptop and figures will fit..so just grab that then go..
Bishies. Can't live without em :3
i'm surprised no one has said World of Warcraft yet
Really? Because WOW gamers are too busy playing WOW to do ANYTHING else, much less answer questions on here. The game's pure electronic crack, lol.
Pie.
It seemed that I am addicted by this site since 2005... anyone else???
*Raises hand*
Me, me!
*raises hands* too! ^^
I'm a bibliophile, I'm addicted to reading and collecting books. Manga, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, alternate history, all sorts of things. The problem is, I'm also addicted to video games and anime and figures, so not only do I have not enough time to do anything else, I have no money.
The cover look so funny...,donno why but I burst out laughing at the cover... I must say that the cover for the three characters are addicted on crack and Halucination seeing gold and all these random things.
I'd have to say MMO's, anime, checking all my favorite bookmarked sites (includes dannychoo.com) at least 20 12 times a day.
I prefer Negima rather than Potter. The research and story is much better and there are more girls!!!
Jones Soda!
ahhh...i am addicted tO eyes. I must see eyes everyd@y...@m i nOrm@l? need prOfessiOn@l help
I cannot give up on quite a few things. 1. My internet (I can't bear the though of not having my daily dose of dannychoo.com!) 2. Anime (Even when holiday I'll load some series onto my Zen Vision and watch it throughout the trip) 3. Music (No music would be hell!)
My addictions? Downloading, anime, downloading anime, gaming, figures and girls (mostly 2D though...there aren't many 3D girls around at the technical university)
Anime and manga. But I'm not addicted to figures, yet. Maybe sometimes later? ^^ And, well, I was once addicted to football, but not anymore.
same here. once addicted to football but i still enjoy a good game.
Anime, figures, Shana and chocolate!~ X3
Harry Pothead and the Wizard Got Stoned?
currently addicted to: monster hunter ,anime, and internet though most of my internet is chatting in the board or random sex exploration^^ ask: how much u learn your sexual knowledge/fetishes from? book or internet^^?
I'm addicted to Sweets, Anime & Manga, Hentai stuff and girls that are willing to spend their time with me ^^
Korean and Japanese movies, and JDorama.
PORN!!! LOL... joudan desho... joudan... well i'm addicted to everything japan... food, culture, otakuisum, haurhisum, history, animes, mangas... but so far not eroge yet... hmm... i wonder why???
Good thing I can't read. Now if Harry Potterz was Pronz then I can read that maybe.
Games, anime and manga/comics, my true passions indeed. FF XIII? But you guys have played it yet?? Is already in Asia, or talking about demos??
