You can be addicted to anything if you're prone to addiction..

I think some one should quote that one lol.

"Ruffner allegedly still has her computer."

Well, just so long as she still has her computer the world will continue to spin.

 

[joytech22]

It's just sad that people can get so addicted to games that they give up on the life around them.
It's especially sad when other people or pets are impacted by one person's habits, especially if that means 6 starving kids.

 

[accolite]

Man talk about messed up. Irresponsible!

On Joking note:
If she was my wife I'd be like give me that damn computer it's my turn.lol JK

Pretty much. Some people just have addictive personalities. They get "hooked" and sucked in to things. Be it smoking, Facebook, farmville, or busting a cap in someone's GTA4 ass.

 

[stingstang]

She USED to be hooked on sex, judging by the number of children she has. (Please...please. I don't need someone to tell me that their farm family has 7 children, and it's normal for them)
Please tell me farmville was one of those games. I know you're all thinking the same thing.

Ugh the woman disgusts me. If she was my wife I'd throw HER and that damn computer in the street...

 

[zoemayne]

Yes there is, it's GTAForums, the modding community and even the online community has quite a few people.

I play games, yes. I am a gamer, yes (pretty hardcore one, too). I also love science fiction movies and other nerdy things. But would I neglect my house, wife and children to feed my habits? No. My girlfriend (soon to be fiance) knows that I do, indeed, love video games and other nerd stuff... but would I ever choose to game or watch movies over doing something with her? Definitely not. I spend a lot of time on them, but never do I neglect my girlfriend enough to make her feel as if I love her any less.

Honestly, it is women like her that should have never been given the privilege to birth a child, let alone six. Disgusting.

 

[BulkZerker]

Farmville? Please.

$50 says she had a L80 hunter in WoW

 

[silver565]

Good on the the guy for trying to keep things sorted. I hope he ends up with the kids

 

[tsnorquist]

So none of the kids had the common sense to help their step father try to clean up.

Don't feed me that BS they were all to young to do so either; I know first hand I did plenty of chores under age 11.

What's the over/under on the mother becoming a meth addict in 1 year?

If I had six loud and obnoxious little crumb crunchers in my house I too would be addicted to video games

Yea those damn kids popping up out of nowhere... wait a minute those kids were her decision too, there is no excuse she can use, it is all her responsibility and she is at fault.

 

[NuclearShadow]

I think everyone is missing the biggest thing here everything from the article to every comment and that is...

But can her PC play Crysis?

 

[sinfulpotato]

I feel there is more to the story. The media likes to stretch the truth when it comes to video games. I remember watching some story about how World of Warcraft is a sexual playground.

I'm not sure what game they where playing.
