      <title>WARNING! Addictive as Crack! Proceed with caution!</title>
      <link>http://www.listal.com/list/warning-addictive-crack-proceed-caution</link>
      <description>Some games are as addictive as crack cocaine.  Here&#039;s some of the worst offenders.  Play them at your own risk!  You&#039;ve been warned.

&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.listal.com/image/497883/300full.jpg&quot;&gt;

List is somewhat unsorted, but the top 3 are generally considered by the masses (and myself) as the top 3 most addictive games ever created.

I have an addictive personality, though I know my limits. And being an RPG fan, a hardcore gamer, and a Warcraft fanatic, I knew better than to fall for their &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/trial/index.html&quot;&gt;Free 10-day Trial&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; bullshit! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh my god, how many souls have I ruined by adding that hyperlink?? Better add this one below to redeem myself.&lt;br /&gt;

Yes, I&#039;m one of the many folks who used to &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;dream&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; about those damn falling blocks.  I even had daydreams of them while at work seminars and meetings! Had to cut myself off cold turkey to break this addiction.</description>

&amp;quot;He stopped trying because it was easier to move on in the game than it was in real life,&amp;quot; says Wooley. The last time he logged onto Everquest was 6 a.m. Someone heard the shot around 11. When I found him he was sitting at the computer with Everquest on and that&#039;s where he killed himself.&amp;quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Never was interested in this MMORPG, but I&#039;ve heard all the horror stories.  The blonde elf is one sweet EILF though ;)</description>

Oh, how many times did I replay this game over and over and over again to find every whistle and P-Wing?  I took a 8 year hiatus from playing this game, and I still remembered turn into a racoon, drop behind the white block, run full speed in the background to the end, you get a the whistle.  How was Nintendo able to permanently engrave this info deep within my memory, when I seem to forget things like my parents birthdays?</description>

Oh, the sleepless nights, playing this game with insane &lt;b&gt;one more turn&lt;/b&gt; mentality, until I could barely hold the mouse, eyes glazed, and sun coming up at the break of dawn.  And that was on workdays!  I even played this game discreetly a whole week &lt;i&gt;while at work&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;

Yes, people in Korea go ape-shit over StarCraft tournaments held even to this day, on this 10 year old game. Luckily, I never allowed this addiction to cement into me.  Seen too many friends lose their soul to this RTS.</description>
