If you recognise any or all of these telltale giveaways, it could be time to admit that computer games have got a hold on you. Have you considered knitting instead?
More and more people are enjoying computer and videogames lately, and itââ,¬â,,¢s no longer just the kids to blame for putting ââ,¬ËœFIFAââ,¬â,,¢ or ââ,¬ËœGrand Theft Autoââ,¬â,,¢ at the top of the weekly charts. Unlike television or even boxed-set DVD collections however, games have a way of getting under your skin.
To help you identify whether or not you have a potential problem, weââ,¬â,,¢ve compiled a list of the most common side effects of a gaming passion gone too far, by asking other people of course.
1. You can survive on Cola for 24 hours after a new purchase
The thrill of the new combined with fight or flight excitement means that solids are not essential
2. You wear the same haircut as your favourite game hero
This is sheer coincidence. You were always planning to sport a 3 ft tall crew-cut like Colonel Guile
3. You think you could actually be your favourite game hero
Suddenly you are considering joining the TA or practicing the art of Kung Fuââ,¬Â¦ or managing a farm
4. You anticipate a new game more than you eventually play it
Only 18-months to wait for the sequel to the biggest game of 2010, and youââ,¬â,,¢ve already pre-ordered
5. You buy the official guide only to admire the pictures for a week
Player guides seldom become your secret weapon against friends, but at least they look very nice
6. Game rage! Like road rage but your partner walks in front of the TV
You are approaching the final bend or facing your nemesis when suddenly ââ,¬ËœCheck out my new shoesââ,¬â,,¢
7. You own several tee-shirts with esoteric game slogans or signs
While out drinking with friends you secretly hope that a t-shirt that says ââ,¬ËœMe > Evilââ,¬â,,¢ makes you look cool
8. Constantly refresh browser window checking for new casual games
Your other coffee-break games are ticking away nicely, now you seek to fall in love all over again
9. Lately youââ,¬â,,¢ve been having nightmares about 7 ft soldiers
The last thing you saw before crawling to bed was a bunch of blokes standing over your lifeless virtual body
10. 4.00am is a good time to call it a night. Unless itââ,¬â,,¢s the weekend
One more try before 11pm, this is a school night. One more try before 12pm, this is a school nightââ,¬Â¦

Any of this apply to you? Any other symptoms youââ,¬â,,¢d care to share with your fellow gamer?
