Sorry about the title could not think of anything better!

Anyway it has just clicked in my head that I have not played any computer games for 2 weeks solid!

Once I had thought about it more, I began to wonder why this strnge event has happened to me! The last game I played was CM00/01 ages ago!

Then I remembered this is not the first time this has occured with me, a while ago I went ages without playing any games! so as the scientific sheep I am I decided to work this one out!

I came to a conclusion that this will happen one point in a gamers life whatever the reason it will happen!

Mine this time may be down to stress over my homework and studying because when I come in I go on net sit at desk and do work alnite and no time to get a break! Last time I believe it was down to the torture I went through when I broke (I mean little cousin...:D) my playstation I was in pain and was put off games!

Now I am having a little theory going down here, different emotions put you off games so why not tell me some of your stories about going cold turkey playing games!

This shows me you have good taste in music!

Aye... well, its from the manufacterers of fine bathroom products (though purposly misspelt) ... It was handle I've been unsing since 91/92 when I useed to use my modem to connect to BBS's...

I know it sounds a touch dodgy that I chose this as a handle at a time when I had free rein to choose anything... but it was really chosen for me by my mates after a rather drunken night out! (I think I was legally old enough at the time?)

Unfortunatly not to do with my, highly questionable, music tastes :)

No... that can't be right...

2,000,000 / 24 = 83,333 days.

83,333 / 365 = 288 years!

Wow!

I don't care about loading, as long as the game after is a good one.

Also, I played CM 97/98 for millions of hours!! I loved it!!
