which neurotransmitter is responsible for "having fun" (like when I have a blast playing bf3)

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 1 17:54:21 2011 No.3983978 >>3983971 Dopamine. Pay attention in school, junior.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 1 17:57:21 2011 No.3983988 so I get bored after playing for 4 hours because my brain had enough dopanin?
