mike_intellivision on 05 September 2008

I have found myself doing something ridiculous lately.

In the limited evening hours I have between when my six-year-old son goes to bed/my wife is finished talking to me and I go to bed, I am reading and posting to VGChartz more than I am actually playing games.

I will go to check on one thing ... and the next thing I know I have spent an hour on line.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Is there a solution?

Do I need a 12-step program?

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Haha. It sometimes happens to me too. Although, i'm usually on VGC with my mobile all day long (no, i do have a life), so i usually don't get "stucked" into the forum, unless i'm middle of posting a long post.

Maybe getting a mobile phone with internet, so you could check out VGC evetime you feel like it? It's great when driving.

At least you don't live in the US.

Does it count that when I am on my laptop that I play games (on my tv) and look at stuff on vgchartz as well. (My Laptop is getting repaired at the moment).

install a tazer in your keyboard which automaticaly activates after 15 minutes of use , the pain -vgchartz association will ensure you spend exactly 15 minutes without the aid of the tazer after about a month of continued use.

@Nordlead: How come? Don't USAns know how to drive and read at the same time?

Take your eye off the road at 40mph, and 1 second later your 60 feet down the road.

or in terms you are more familiar with 64.37376kmph and 1 second later you are 17.8 meters down the road.

Beings I have been in 2 accidents, and I ride a motorcycle, I'd rather not have someone run into me and their excuse is "I was reading and didn't see him" as I'm laying on the road with broken bones. I've already heard enough dump excuses for why I got in the other 2 accidents.

but anyways, I shouldn't be taking this thread off topic, so I will say that I do the same thing as the OP, except I don't have a kid.
