Have you been spending too much time with Zerg, Protoss and Terrans ... and perhaps too little time with your fellow human beings? Perhaps a little pharmacological assistance is in order.

A group of South Korean psychiatrists say they have successfully reduced "StarCraft" addiction by giving players a popular antidepressant. Bupropion - also known as Wellbutrin - was used in a study conducted at the Chung Ang University Department of Psychiatry.

The study followed eleven subjects - people who had played "StarCraft" more than thirty hours a week. Two of the test subjects had been divorced because of their gaming habit and six of them had missed school for more than two months because they'd spent so much time gaming in internet cafes instead. (They don't call it "StarCrack" for nothin').

These folks were compared to eight "healthy" subjects - people who had experience playing "StarCraft" less than three days a week and less than one hour per day. (Though we can't help but wonder: How is it even possible to play "StarCraft" for that short a period of time?)

The result, according to the study: After six weeks of bupropion treatment, the addicted players showed "significant decreases in terms of craving for playing 'StarCraft'" - that is, their desire to play had gone down by 23.6 percent while their total playing time was reduced by 35.4 percent.

South Korea - which some might argue is the video game capital of the world - recently declared that two million of the country's citizens are internet addicts. "StarCraft" has been an especially popular game in the country, where competitive matches are often televised on one of South Korea's two cable channels dedicated to showing E-Sports competitions.

As it turns out, the study comes as especially good news for those of you who'd like to not only kick your gaming habit but perhaps kick your smoking habit at the same time. Bupropion/Wellbutrin is a popular smoking cessation drug as well.

Then again ... why would anyone want to go and kick their "StarCraft" habit when "StarCraft II" has, at long last, finally arrived.
