Symptoms of addiction are easy to spot, Bakker says. Parents should take notice if a child neglects usual activities, spends several hours at a time with the computer and has no social life
By 'usual activities' do they mean stuff like changing one's underwear?
I'm just asking... you know... for this guy I know...
Also, are towels supposed to bend?

uhhh...
320, yes, you are intended to change underwear once a day IMO.
and ofcourse towels are supposed to bend.
i kinda see myself indeed being enslaved to gaming.
though, no.. not that badly as they think, i dont have that much symptoms..
still got my social life, do daily routine thingy's, dont use drugs, barely drink alcahol. (only about.. twice a year ?)
wel, guesse i am not a slave to gaming, accept for the computer hours, though not sure if i get upto 14 hours... hmm, need to check that sometime..
maybe on a long day, that i get upto that amount.. hmm.. yup, got to check.

Heheh, man I used to be a slave of gaming. Thank goodness though that I take an occasional break every 3 months or so. I used to stay up late at night playing on my computer. But one thing I learned in my senior year in highschool is no matter how hard I tried to stay up and only get 5 hours of sleep, it would not cut it. I ended up missing a lot of days because of it, but I learned a valuable lesson. Thank goodnes though that I was able to pass. I'll never do that again. ops:
