How do you guys manage to maintain relationships and social lives as well as play games? Oh and also work in-between?


I have to limit myself to playing games I know are boring because otherwise I get so completely roped in I forget to do things like eat, sleep and speak to people.


I have been fighting off the temptation to join my friends on WoW for the last year. That and to get an Xbox 360 so I can see what Test Drive Unlimited is like online.

WoW is a bit of a life eater, I have to ban myself from MMORPGs, but the likes pf Halo 3 and Project gotham can be quite quick hit experiences.

Plus the missus has been living abroad during the week for most of the year, and gaming helps to keep me out of the pub.

I do conciously avoid the MMORPGs because I would likely get too addicted.


One thing that has kept me out of too much trouble lately is not having a decent enough PC to run the games I want properly. Otherwise I suspect I might end up single again!

There's an end in sight with Baldurs Gate, likewise Oblivion.

Some of the guys I played WoW with (I played for about 14 months, gave up almost 2 years ago) are still playing most evenings to this day.

I'd love to call them sad, but then I remember what those 14 moths were like. (great btw)

      New homes vs inferstructure

      By Spartacus · Posted

      There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water.  Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed.  Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are,  potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ?

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      Cheers for that. Surprising to see it's over 25 years since it closed.
