Oh dear, ANOTHER one bites the dust . . .
People REALLY are stupid.And people say games aren't addictive. Oh, they are.
I totally agree.
I'm an addict myself.
But not that much of one.
At least not yet . . . if I'm not on for a week or so, someone CHECK my house.At least he died doing what he loved.
