I went through a period in my life where I was addicted to buying PC games. It was terrible. I spent hundreds of dollars during this time. I would go to Halfprice Books, and browse their inventory. If something looked interesting I'd buy it. I could buy as many as 3 at a time. I would have to smuggle them into the house because my wife was onto me.
Once I had them, I might take a quick look, and put it away forever. I have some games that I only ever watched the intro animations and that's all. It didn't help that I was out of work during this time. I guess it provided some sort of relief, this addiction.
I can't tell you how or why it ended. It just did. I think my acquaintance with mmorpgs helped a lot. There are a lot of free ones online, and I gravitated to those. This saved me lots of money.
Nowadays, I am only hooked on World War. I play all day long, even in the office. Also, I wake up at a specific time every hour through the night, to bank my dough. That's also a good time to do a little bit o' farming.
I know that one day I will exit the program and not come back. It always happens. All through-out cyberspace I have avatars, standing, waiting for me to return. I weep for them.
Xultar, don't worry about the apps thing. It will pass. In the meantime just try not to spend too much.
Sincerely,
Badshah
