There's nothing wrong in video games being your major hobby. Its is satisfying and enjoyable but then if it becomes too much of a daily activity then you know you're walking down the path of addiction.
Here are some true but funny signs to know you're a game addict



You know you're a game addict when you dad seizes your Ps3 and then proceeds to hide the tv cord just because of you.

You know you're a game addict when you take your Wireless Xbox pad to the toilet

When you spend more time with your controller than physically hanging out with your friends

When you have dreams seeing yourself shooting down zombies for 2weeks straight.

When your teacher asks what's the most beautiful place you've ever visited and you reply: Gotham City, in Batman
(I no go surprise if she give you dat kind slap wey dem dey call manual reset )

When you have more games on your phone than clothes you wear.

When the guy you buy game discs from calls to ask why you havent patronised him for 3days now.

You know you're a game addict when you've played fifa for 4hrs straight with your friend, but you tell him you're just getting started.

When you're cooking and the food begins to burn, but you decide to finish the game stage first before going to check'(you're on your own)

You know you're a game addict when you buy the new Ps4 + call of duty yet you're still owing your land lord 6months rent.

When you need to go to the loo, but you wait until you've finished the level.
When you've to be awake by 5am, but you're still playing your video game at 4am.
When you honestly have to talk yourself out of buying a PS4, since you'd have no money left in your bank account...

Yup. Frell is from Farscape and d'arvit is from the Artemis Fowl book series. I'll get a PS4, I'll probably see what the Christmas sales have to offer.

While i was still in secondary school, i once played sonic the hedgehog 2 non stop from 9pm-7am the next day. Then went to the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed and walked to school like nothing happened.

U know u are a game addict when wifey threatens u choose between her and d console and u tell her "we would talk about this later let me just pass this stage "

When some random guy knocks at your door (uni halls) to chat 'cause you're both the only Africans on your floor and you respond "I'm busy, I'm playing Splinter Cell." Then, you promptly close the door on his face.

Poor guy, I was in the zone, dude never talked to me again...

This was years ago, infact I didn't even realise, 'till my classmate pointed it out. The guy basically reported me to him.

You are currently banned by the antispam bot (until tomorrow) in the Phones and Technology Market section for your adverts in those sections. I'm guessing that someone marked your phone number as spam at some point. That's the only common keyword of those two posts, and a quick search on that number appears to confirm that suspicion - it's been in more than 6 messages marked as spam (I got tired), infact posts that've quoted your posts containing that number are now marked as spam.

The mods of those sections should have handled this, that's if you used the mail mods function to inform them about this. You could have written this post in the general section, but I can understand your dilemma, so I'll allow the derailment. Although, you do appear to be rather prolific with your adverts - stop repeating them, so maybe they got tired of seeing your posts. So, the antispam bot automatically bans you when you attempt to gain momentum. You need to stop and come to an agreement with the mods of those sections.

UPDATE: And one more thing, you've been banned before several times by the antispam bot and it's not been 2 months - this behaviour only started Aug 20, at most it's just been over 2 weeks don't attempt to pull on heartstrings, this is not Tales by Moonlight.
