Recurrent thoughts and urges about playing
What was the question - I was thinking about playing a game instead of paying attention....

Restlessness and irritability when not playing
Are you talking to me? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME????!!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE so I can go play a game in peace before I knock your block off!!

- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back
Cut back on what? I did make sure I bought a energy efficient power supply for my gaming rig - that count????

- Studies or work negatively affected
No - I study fine - how else do you think I would remember the perfect sequence of events to run through to get hits using manual targeting. I mean - if you don't study and use it - it won't make much sense!

- Problems in "significant relationships" -
I've been with the same woman for nearly a decade.... If there were serious problems they would have shown up along time ago. Now... where the devil did she and all the furniture go? Well she will be back sooner or later - gotta unpause my game!

- Sore eyes, back pain, strain injuries
Eh what? I can't make out the small print, and even if I could I wouldn't want to respond. All this typing and stuff makes my carpal tunnel hurt and interferes with my ability to play games.

- Sleep loss, weight gains or losses of 5kg
Sleep? Whats that? See these here toothpicks? They hold my eyes open all the time. Sure I mumble like a zombie after a few days, but then I get my second wind and can go for 3 more days before I need a few hours of sleep. I would get more, but for some reason I dream about playing games and that wakes me up so I can. As for weight changes - uhm... well - see - I EAT about 5kg every meal - but only because sometimes I forget to eat for a couple of days and then have to make up for it. So I really just kinda bounce around a bit on my weight, but it averages out.

Ok - well I feel better now - no problem with gaming addiction here!

*** ok that was actually too much fun! ***
