It's unfortunate he's allowed this to happen...he sounds legitimately addicted to CoD. I just wish for your sake he'd put down the controller just long enough to see what he was doing.
His mom has been anti-gaming for many years. She calls gaming Satan. She's said for many years he was an addict. They don't get along. He listens to her to an extent. He won't stay in the same room with her long because they argue a lot. There's no way he would give up games because she talked to him, because that's a path traveled already.

I honestly believe the only way he will stop playing CoD is if his friends do the gamer vanishing act. (you know, people get sick of a game, move on, and disappear.) Of course that doesn't happen as much with console gaming, especailly Xbox live where your friends online status constantly pops up... He actually says he hate CoD...
