Gaming Addiction


Addiction to games? Want to kick the habit or control it? Well a clinic has been set up in Amsterdam that offers treatment to people who are addicted to gaming. Can anyone be that addicted? Well the BBC's article mentioned a patient called Tim. He has four separate televisions, one for each gaming console and a notebook to do online gaming. He spends 17 hours a day playing games and pees in a bottle because he can't bear to pull himself away from the gaming screen. Tim, didn't you know that pressing the "start" button actually pauses the game?

Apparently there was a man from South Korea who died after playing online games for 50 hours non-stop. Man, that's got to be overkill.



Can anyone be that addicted to games? I like to play games too, but I don't think I can ever take to the level which this guy Tim can do it. Also, he must have a lot of money too.

Are you addicted to games and gaming?

No one would be addicted to games or gaming only if there are four televisions around him!

True, but it would be better if the TV he has is 55 inches big. Hang on, don't we know someone who has such a big TV? :-P

Happy 2nd Birthday Amelie!

Another step up the age ladder for my daughter Amelie (populary known as Tongtong too). Time certainly has flown, and with each day, it doesn't get any easier! She's started to form her own opinions and learning to express them in various different ways. She's a clever little one, but still lacks a certain amount of discipline. That's probably going to come from me, because Chien-yu is a little soft. I just hope she knows it for own good when I give her the smack-botty when she steps out of line. Last night we sang her the birthday song just before we slept (its was about 1am already). After a couple of choruses, she picked it up quickly and sang her own birthday song! Well, almost anyway, because sounded like "Hapi tu tu tu you". More practise for next year! I will add photos later on this evening.

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.
