It’s the fourth hour of my gaming session. For the entirety of my evening, I have been hacking a bunch of monsters to bits with my axe, looting their corpses, then reloading and killing the same monsters all over again. I am hitting the Council for Charms, and if I don’t dick about, I can [...]

OK. Let’s do this. If I’m going to quit gaming forever, I need a plan of attack. There are two classic ways of quitting any addiction: gradually cutting down, or going cold turkey. When I gave up smoking, I chose the former, and it seemed to work ok; I started on 20 Marlboro a day, [...]
