Well since im new here. These are some advice on what to do about your brothers addiction.
Well since your parents are ignorant about brothers addiction. You could always buy a hidden camera and hide it in his room recording what you been telling your parent about your brothers addiction. Also you should so some articles about other people with simliar addictions to your bother. Proof is always stronger than words. Are you only paying for the electric bill? If you are paying other bills also like the phone bill cancelled the internet service At least what these would do is get your parents to think more about your brothers addiction and since brother your brother has a job now. Get him to start paying his part of the bills. |

It lasted until now, a straight one and a half years in which I sleep less than 4 hours per day. Sometimes I got through for 3-4 days without sleep or fatigue. Not a wonder most working adults can overwork themselves without realising it. P.S Have you let him try any other game other than those 2? Like single player types with intriguing storylines (Clannad, and Yume Miru Kusuri <H-rated>) or complex work systems (System/Bio Shock, RE series, Dead Space)? I doubt he lacks emotion, because despite all my lack of respect for the living, I almost teared when I played Aeka's storyline from YMK. If he shows emotion like fear, sadness and dejection, he should be in the "lockup phase" where he is venting his discontent on the games. Perfectly fine to leave it alone unless he shows signs of planning a Columbine.

You're hurting yourself by ignoring this. If you want to steal his cables, steal the ones for the speakers. He'll get headphones, and you'll get peace while you think more rationally. |

Yeah...i wouldn't suggest HIDING that cable though, getting his steam account or w/e accounts temporarily stopped would help. But just ending the internet connection there would be the best so that he doesn't freak out at you for hiding his shit.
But if he's just that type of unreasonable kid, there's nothing you can do except take it away from him and say "enough is enough! If you want these back you're gonna have to follow a few rules, and no FUCKING BUTs, you've gone on long enough without anyone actually doing anything." |

Okay dude honestly this has gone on long enough. If you can't frigging control the kid then what can you do? No offense, it's NOT that hard to get your little brother to listen to you.
I don't know what your parents are like, but sit them down and talk to them too. Talk some fucking sense into them. And stop coming back to this forum if you can't get your little bro to listen. There's only so much we CAN TELL YOU, but the REST IS UP TO YOU to solve for yourself. You have to TAKE THE ACTION. |
