because I let World of Warcraft eat my brain. I've neglected the house, laundry, and loved ones and I am not proud of myself or my choice. I know how likely I am to get addicted to such things, which is why I tend to avoid so many temptations.

Good for you, re: moderation. I've set up similar little barriers to avoid reading or playing (single-player) computer games too much....

I see no distinction between browsing the net during a game and reading or scribbling on a sheet of paper. It isn't the type of technology, in other words, but the approach. That said, when I've had to sit for several hours at a time, it's nearly impossible for me to listen attentively and participate actively the entire time without some sort of mental break--and I've had a lot of practice trying--so I totally understand why people pull out the Treo or BlackBerry during a game....

A-freaking-men to that. This is why I won't get a 3D card or cable TV.

As a fellow person with OCD, and the easy ability to fall into things I get into, be they shows, books, or games, especially games with huge immersive worlds and grotesque amounts of replay value, I sympathize greatly
