addicted to video games and why:

As shocking as this sounds, a whole lot of the "guy who failed all of his classes because he was playing WoW all the time" horror stories are really just about a dude who simply didn't like his classes very much. This was never some dystopian mind control scheme by Blizzard. The games just filled a void.

Why do so many of us have that void? Because according to everything expert Malcolm Gladwell, to be satisfied with your job you need three things, and I bet most of you don't even have two of them:

Autonomy (that is, you have some say in what you do day to day);

Complexity (so it's not mind-numbing repetition);

Connection Between Effort and Reward (i.e. you actually see the awesome results of your hard work).

I really need to reconsider my UJ habit.

Too many words and not enough sense

Gladwell's books are pretty phenomenal. Great reads. Tipping Point and Blink!

I failed my classes, because of weed. So fuck you Cracked.

Oh man. I have all three of those things and I still don't feel motivated.

I guess I'm just lazy.

he/they failed classes because he was a lazy piece of shit, honestly its pretty easy to get the minimum C's you have to be a real jack ass to not at least get them.
