The draft wording of its diagnostic manual says someone has a gaming disorder if ‘gaming takes precedence over other life interests’. The unhealthy behaviour will have had to continue for at least a year before diagnosis is confirmed.
The agency has not listed other conditions linked to technology, such as so-called smartphone or internet addiction, due to a lack of evidence they are ‘real disorders’.
However the New Scientist quoted Vladimir Poznyak, at the WHO’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse as saying: ‘Health professionals need to recognise that gaming disorder may have serious health consequences.
‘Most people who play video games don’t have a disorder, just like most people who drink alcohol don’t have a disorder either. However, in certain circumstances overuse can lead to adverse effects.’
The WHO said gaming disorder is wider than just video gaming disorder.
It will be a subset in its International Classification of Diseases, which was last updated in 1990.

Search YouTube for James at War Halo 3.
Pretty funny.
With the full cooperation of the Warcraft team. That is why the graphics are so awesome.
Which server are you on? I’m on Skullcrusher Horde.
Not as funny as the first episode of The Guild, starring Felicia Day.

Only discovered The Guild about a year ago and immensely enjoyed it.
Easy to watch over and there is an annotated version available with lots of info.
Great character ensemble.
Old guy gamer crush on Felicia.
Opened my eyes to the alternate programming taking place on the internet.
I liked it so much, I bought the DVD box set after it finished.
Yup. All those are in my boxed set.
“I’m The One That’s Cool” has been my ring tone for my wife these last few years.
“I didn’t feed the dog and now he’s dead” lol
Doesn’t appear to be an active gaming ping list.
I’m semi-retired now and could devote some time to it.
I envision, starting Jan. 01, a monthly thread with a different ‘Article’ screen each month.
A photo highlighting someone involved in the industry or a photo of a specific game.
Could chat about what we are currently playing or about particular games,
ask each other for advice, or share related stories and screencaps. Have some fun.
How about...Game On!... for the Title, ping list name, and keyword?
Here's what I'm thinking of for the Jan/1/18 header... 
Maybe with a welcome text appended below it or as the 1st comment ...
"Need a break from the battle for Individualism/Freedom and against the evil forces of Totalitarianism?
Stop in, relax for a bit and enjoy some Geek content...
Discuss/share your likes/dislikes in games, videos, movies, comics, personalities and gaming/computer gear.
Post links to your favorite content."
Somewhere either under the photo or in the 1st post I'll include a brief description/resume
of the subject of the month's featured photo, in this case, Jeff Lewis.
If I do get this off the ground on Jan.1, I'll ping you fellows to it.
I'll be extending an invitation to anyone that wishes to be included in a ping list.
If you like to be part of it you can let me know.
