10 ways to spot a true Gaming addict.
Now video gaming is part of our everyday life and for anyone that disagrees.....you are not part of the norm! Coming from someone who's a games addict you might think? Well there are signs and we've highlighted a few of them for you..... (in no particular order).
1. When your bredren knocks your door and you're in the middle of an on-line campaign and he's still there after 10 minutes. (Always keep the blinds closed and the volume real low, he might just go away...)
2. "Mike! Mike! Are you listening to me........?" then you get busted....."You're playing a game....aren't you?"
Sound familiar? Having a deep conversation on the phone about serious relationship issues and you get the long pause between answering isn't the way to keep your relationship going. Take Heed: Treble T's been single for 10 years!!!!
3. This one is simple.....You're playing a RANKED game on Fifa10 on-line, you know if you put the pad down you'll lose 550points, your phone rings and you completely ignore it and the I.D says "Mum"
Please Note: I do love you mum! But losing 550 pts (Oh hell no!)
4. You're at work and you're thinking about the game or how much more points you need to get your next achievement/level.... Oh DAMN, let me get back to work "How much are you paying in sir"?
5. You have a personalised carry bag for each of your consoles and you keep all the old consoles in the cupboard just in case..... need I say more? (WHAT? The Atari may come back .. you never know!)
6.Your hands look like they've done ten rounds with Mike Tyson, from the years of serious button mashing. Not to mention the constant hand motions, cool whilst in your chilling playing at home... but maybe not when in the toilet!!
7. You realise you can be having sexy time with someone on the phone and still score a goal in Fifa and they dont even know you've done it. Now thats talent.
8. You actually feel like killing grannies when the internet in your house goes down or you get the ring of death on your Xbox. (After seven days the twitching and shakes eventually calm down with the aid of medication).
9. You think Lara Croft, Chun-Li or Solid Snake are excellent names for your daughter (Snakey for short), has a nice ring to it don't ya think?)
10. You think that not eating or washing for three days is fine if you're in the middle of a game of Call of Duty (C'mon wots wrong wid dat. That was Mike today - well the washing part anyway!).
