Death by Pokermon
Just realised that I've been playing Pokeymon Pinball on my Nintendo DS for the past 8 HOURS with virtually no interruption. So focused was I that I forwent food, drink and toilet.
I devised a gaming strategy that stopped me from losing, and since I wasn't losing, I didn't stop playing - nay, I couldn't stop playing. It was only after Whit sent me a SMS at 10:30pm that I was roused from my Gotta Catch 'Em All™ mania and had the sense to pause my game. Upon rolling out of my nest (i.e. bed) to fetch my phone, I experienced slight shortness of breath and the mildest of palpitations. "Just like those gamers who die after playing Warcraft non-stop for 24 hours," remarked my sister.
Now in addition to all-over bodily aches from yesterday's big run, I have RSI and my eyesight's deteriorated exponentially. On the plus side, I've racked up over 7 trillion points, caught more than 120 Pokeymanz and wiped my sister's name off the hi-score charts.
