I was never obsessed, I don't think so anyway, but I wasted a good chunk of my teens on games—RTS, GTA, old-school emulators—until I got a job and didn't have much time for it, even less so while working and studying. After college, I bought my first console and got hooked again, spending whole nights playing online, mostly FPS. Nowadays I'm less of a gamer; I only play good games when I know I'll have at least an hour and a half at the end of the day to really get into it. Only the good stuff.
