Topic: Sitting alone playing games is not normal for a man in his 20's

Says psychiatrist at psychopaths murder trial.

When the judge asked whether Breivik’s behaviour during this period might be described as gaming addiction, Sørheim tooks the opportunity to say what she really thinks: “I would still like to point out that sitting alone in your room and playing games, no matter what the scope of the matter, call it addiction or whatnot, is not normal for a man in his 20's.”

Good thing I'm not it my 20's! Anymore....



What?

And for them to constantly analyze other people is normal...?

So what's normal? Sitting alone reading books or watching videos? Or going out frequently?

I gotta admit sometimes sitting alone is great, whether I'm playing games or not. Other times I love playing games with other people, whether they're present with me in the same room or online.

Her argument could be valid but it depends entirely on her definition of "normal." Is this "normal" condition defined by times when there were no videogames? Is it based on the assumption that gamers are not normal?
