Is online gaming bad for your health?

Not says a new survey of the game EverQuest II. Some interesting comments by Professor Mark Griffiths that challenge some people's assumptions: "A lot of people talk about 'excessive gaming' as if it is always bad to take part in gaming, but the context can make a big difference. I can think of two case studies of people who both spend 12 hours a day playing EverQuest, but while one is clearly obsessional, the other one is perfectly normal. Genuine addicts are few and far between." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7621412.stm
