Today's Video Break: Intervention

Episode Title: "Peter and Renee"

Season: 1

Year: 2005

Why we love this episode: This particular episode of the poignant documentary series opened our eyes to the fact video game addictions are very real- and very serious. For Peter, the 21 year-old gamer featured in this episode, 17-24 hours of playing video games is just another day to him. And his family has no other choice than to resort to an intervention, and hopefully help him get back to a normal life.

Watch the episode.
