Need to get out more!
A warning here for all of us gamers/t'interweb surfers.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5191678.stm
brief summary
"I lived in my room. I have 4 televisions around me, with one X-Box 360, PlayStation 2, X-Box 1 and a Game Cube and a lap-top, where I can play online games," said Tim, a 21 year old who has received treatment at the clinic.
Tim played games for up to 17 hours a day. "I have no social life, I have no friends - only cyber-friends"
&
"Tim could not even wrestle himself away from the screen for long enough to go to the toilet.
"I take an empty bottle and I pee into it," he said."

Re: Need to get out more!
I can imagine this being a bigger problem than we think, good on them for doing something about it too

Things are really serious when you can't find time to go to the toilet! Unbelievable.
