I became addicted to video games at a young age, and it's lasted to the present day. When I was younger, I used to believe that video games got certain ideas like "pause" and "reset" from real life. The day this belief stopped, I was riding in the car somewhere with my family, and saw a tennis ball go rolling across the road from a nearby park. I screamed at my dad to "PAUSE THE GAME! PAUSE THE GAME!" We pulled over and I explained that I needed them to "pause it" so I could run and get the ball for the tennis players. My family was extremely amused (including my _younger_ sister!), and my parents suggested they take away my video games for a couple of weeks so I could get back in touch with reality. Needless to say, I shut up and never mentioned it again, although there are times I'll get the overwhelming urge to press a Reset button...
