I usually HATE video games - I don't think I played a video game since the glory days of Alex Kidd (R.I.P Sega Mastersystem II) - but someone slipped me a copy of The Sims 2 last week.

Is this the video game version of crack cocaine? I seem to have lost entire evenings making this little mini-me have a high 'bladder' bar.

Is there some way to wean myself off it? I'm hoping once my girlfriend gets back I'll snap out of it - it can't be a coincidence that being alone for a month and a half has reverted me to a game playing teenage nerd....
