    3. Do you play games because you are shy with other people?
    4. Is gaming affecting your reputation?
    5. Do you play games to escape from worries or trouble?
    6. Do you play games alone?
    7. Have you lost time from work due to gaming?
    8. Has your ambition decreased since gaming?
    9. Has your efficiency decreased since gaming?
    10. Is gaming jeopardising your job or business?
    11. Have you ever felt remorse after gaming?

    15. Does gaming cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
    16. Do you want a game the next morning?
    17. Do you play games to build up your self-confidence?
    18. Have you ever had a complete loss of memory as a result of gaming?

    That list is so negative, beneath contempt, it assumes that games are harmful and starts its judgements there, hell, just replace the word games with any other pasttime, maybe eating cheese, that would be good....

    4. Is cheese affecting your reputation?
    5. Do you eat cheese to escape from worries or trouble?
    6. Do you eat cheese alone?

    Yup, retro gaming, now that can wind uo ruining a marriage, wife noticing a build up a dusty boxes, keep it clean now, in the games room, remarking she has never seen that Atari 7800 before while you try to convince her that it has, in fact been a part of your family for generations and express surprise at her lack of credulity all the time you secretly know you picked it up in the Balbriggan market two weeks previously, or not, just in case she reads these posts.
