Well today was finally the day when Edgy bought his Gamecube. He's been waiting for what seems like an eternity and today he finally had enough cash (with a little help from his mum *ahem*) and we went into town so that Edgy could buy what he'd wanted to for so long. He'd already won Super Smash Bros Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Star Wars: Rogue Leader and Super Monkey Ball as Gameaday prizes... and it was kinda funny to watch him sit and stare at the games, deep in thought as he imagined just what it would be like to play these games.
So today, myself, Edgy and our friend Nathan Norman all went into town, and Edgy bought himself his purple Gamecube at Toys 'R' Us, then purchased Extreme G3, Simpsons Road Rage and Burnout in the tiny Electronics Boutique on the second floor of the Debenhams department store. While we were in town, I took the oppitunity to purchase Spider-Man: The Ultimate Guide, a book that I had had my eye on for quite some time.
After the bus journey home (with myself and Norman laughing our socks off over some suitably racist text messages displayed on my mobile phone), we all walked back to Edgy's and engaged in several hours of Gamecube gaming. Then I went home.

Spent all day reading through the book I bought yesterday. Even as a life-long Spider-Man fan, I have learnt many things previously unknown to me from reading this book. It was a wise investment. I also spent a few hours on the Dreamcast, as I felt an urge to play videogames... and urge that I found impossible to ignore. But after playing on the Dreamcast for a while I began to feel ok again.
(Saturday, 8th June 2002)
I don't know exactly what is happening to me, but I feel somewhat strange, compared to how I felt yesterday. My limbs are shaking - not too much, though not too little - and my thumbs are twitching at 4-second intervals. I will go to bed and see how I feel in the morning.
(Sunday, 9th June 2002)
Not feeling at all good today, possibly due to extreme lack of sleep. At every attempt to close my eyes and fall asleep, I saw nothing but images of Mario, Donkey Kong and Pikachu, all fighting each other with flawlessly quick and precise movements. These images continue to taunt me even as I write this. I am now finding it almost impossible to concerntrate on the words on the page, as the frequent images of moving characters is making my mind unstable.

My mother is under the impression that I am in some way mentally ill... but the tiny Bowser who sits on my left shoulder tells me that she is just making excuses for my irrational behaviour today. No amount of time spent playing on the Mega Drive, Dreamcast or Game Boy Advance has been able to satisfy the insane lust for superior graphics and control pads that I have been enduring recently. I'm not entirely sure where these cravings appeared from and why they have surfaced so suddenly... but... I'm scared.... scared.....
(Tuesday, 11th June 2002)
I awoke this morning - after seemingly endless hours of torturous dreams of insanely fast futuristic motorcycles - and was greeted by crude scrawls of permanent black marker all over my bedroom walls. Endless messages... "NeED tO PLaY".... "MuST plAy MoRe gAMEcuBe".... "PlAY nOw"....
This taunting must stop.... please.... stop.....
(Wednesday, 12th June 2002)
I cannot take any more of this torture. I have concluded that the brief time that I had spent playing on the Gamecube is the culprit for the insanity that has developed deep within my mind. This is not fair. Too many innocent people are falling victim to my lusts. Defenceless children found brutally mutilated by a large hammer. Motorcycle owners found shot on the back. Crude drawings of familiar looking ghosts found scrawled all over an old lady's wall.
I have to end this madness.... now....
(Thursday, 13th June 2002)
Black clouds are forming in the sky wherever I go. I think that the end is nigh... if my cravings are not satisfied soon.... it will surely... be... the end of us all. I will make my way to Edgy's house and make a plea for his help.
(Friday, 14th June 2002)
I have failed. I am now unable to prevent the chaos and destruction that awaits the entire planet. No matter how hard I try, I cannot stop myself from the mindless killing and reckless behaviour. I am sorry... mother.... I am sorry.... for... my.......... sins.........

...and as you can all see, this is the effect of computer games. Playing them with such vigour leaves you thirsty for more, to the point were you are thirstless, and STILL want to play them.
MESSAGE = Don't play games. :D

The last one in the whole of Cardiff - after looking everywhere else and being told to come back the next day! It was very frustrating.
