ROFLCOPTER ?
There are many ways to know that you’ve played too many video games in your day. Some reasons are more obvious than others. Ever get that pain in your hands from holding a controller too long? Ever need to get up and go to the bathroom to see if your eyes still work? Ever refer to yourself in public as the “blue bomber”?
The signs are numerous for this phenomena, and in this list we will go through the top ten ways to know that you’ve played too many video games. This was a difficult list to make as there were numerous ways of knowing that you were knee deep in the video game world…and never coming back. Are you, like us, one of these people who are never coming back to “reality”?
Here’s how you can tell.
This had to be written by a non-gamer. I mean, come on, bowser isn't that hard!

Mon Oct 06 2008 11:53AMWOW I can believe I just wasted seconds of my life reading that.
Article failed imo
Mon Oct 06 2008 12:09PMSounds like some game addicts here don't like being called out.
Mon Oct 06 2008 2:13PMAha, so you posted this here too.
This list is a bit...meh. Because it uses outdated stereotypes, and takes what is endearing about gamers and vilifies it. Then it takes the most extreme outcome and turns it into a sensationalist Dateline headline. To top it all off, it's not very funny.
I can copypasta too.
Mon Oct 06 2008 3:51PMI agree with mrcalhou, annilynn, and Z3R01. The article wasn't very good. It seems to have been written by someone who is against gaming and thinks gamers are stupid. I don't mind stating that I spend a ton of time gaming on my computer... though a top ten list that contains fun things and good silly things like "you spend some time every day at work on the MMORPG.com website, or when you close your eyes what you tend to see is your character running around in your favorite game" as one of the ten would be better. This actually applies to a lot of us, like myself, so we can totally agree. :) Nothing in this article actually relates to most of us, so it's a big fail.

I actually stopped reading at number five though - You standup your girlfriend to play...
Fact of the matter is, if you're a hardcore gamer, then you don't have a girlfriend, which is exactly why you play games in the first place.
Mon Oct 06 2008 7:42PMI never really looked at gamers like that. I mean, me and my friends are all gamers and we get along fine, no carpel tunnel, no bowser, no nothing...
But aside from all that, I just don't think the article was well done. It really just came off as a bad, stereotypical joke :\
