Reading this story about a man who played video games to death, I find it likely that an already existing addiction will be newly documented: Vidiocy.
My mom used to call me a “little vidiot” when I was a kid because I liked watching TV so much, but I submit this as a possible term for video game “addictions.” According to other reports, the man named Lee really was dedicated to the god of technology, as he “recently quit his job to spend more time playing games.”
Of course, maybe he didn’t really die, he just left “The Matrix.”
