    I love surveys.

    I'm going to go to an amish county and interview everyone there to see how their social lives fair without videogames.

    Then I'm going to go to various frat houses.

    The paper will show that playing madden will get you laid and a good education.

    FYI: It's spelled withdrawal, not withdrawn. Spelling is kind of important in (fake) research papers.

    There are a few reasons I could choose to not answer this survey.

    The one I am picking is because you used "there" instead of "their" in the third sentence.

    5. What’s the longest you’ve played a videogame continually?

    I played Final Fantasy VII for 16 hours straight without food or bathroom breaks

    12. Do you ever feel fatigue or cramps from playing a videogames?

    I held select and pressed square so fast with the Summons' boost upgrade, that over the sixteen hours I developed RSI in my wrist and couldn't play for a week.

    The music, the card game, and the graphics were amazing. The battle system/GF system was annoying. I didn't really connect with any of the characters. The plot seemed boring. I'll say it was mediocre.
