Sounds of booming explosions fill my room, loud enough to wakeup whoever sleeping in the next room... And yeah, my mum does get cranky like that at 2am in the morning...
I'm not sure why I started playing games again; since my Otago days the sort of entertainment that I do on the computer is the simple Freecell, though it was more of an intense addiction than a simple entertainment I must confess; without playing at least 2 games per 3 hours, the random twitching begins... And no, this doesn't help the geeky image of some untidy long-haired asian dude with severe myopia in baggy cargo pants sitting alone in a lab full of 22" CRT monitors... Gee I miss the Graphics Lab at Otago.
Bunch of european dude at the lab went surfing again today (bastards), during the time where I had to mown the lawn and cut some trees, gee, I know what I'd rather do...
I guess I'm becoming a bit slack, but gee, got to find other things to do too...
The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.

Hey dude, just found your blog. Sorry to hear you're down that day (5 months ago). Well I've been having game addiction problems for a while. I think it's the feeling of constant stimulation and frenetic energy. Flow. Sometimes I can get that feeling when I'm working too. But working can't give you the feeling of the adrenaline rush when you're just soooo close to winning a tight game, and waiting for your opponent to finally give it to you.
A while ago I was in a hotel, and started reading this Buddhist equivalent to Gideon's Bible. It was interesting, since I don't know much about Buddhism, and I was surprised at how generally philosophical in nature the religion seemed to be when it started off. Cool to have a religion based on some guy just thinking about things, instead of going crazy in a desert or whatever normally happens. But anyway, I mention it because there were some ideas in there about resisting temptation. The one which jumped into my mind just now says that to resist temptations if we consider our own mortality, the span of our life, and the consequences of our actions on our life and the lives of those around us, then we will realise that what tempts us is bad, and this is the first step to avoiding it.
Haha, I'm sounding like a Buddhist preacher, and well, I don't think I am. :)
