You know games are taking over your life when...

Are you game obsessed? If any of these relate to you, then it might be time to take a break

You know games are taking over your life when... you fall asleep mid-game

For such a wonderfully calorie-harbouring activity, gaming can be surprisingly fatiguing. And when - at 3am - you're all nice and comfy on the sofa, the reassuring ring of gun fire can become a soothing lullaby and, before you know it, you've got streaks of dribble sediment staining your chin. But this is Not Good. Say "nighty-night" to your machine, retire to your luxurious boudoir (or sticky mattress in the hallway) and go to sleep. Sleep is good.

If you don't, then you might become the unfortunate and completely oblivious object of ridicule for players that are awake and ready for mischief. Check out the movie below to see what we mean. You'll laugh. It's funny.

Poor old Capn Slapaho. All that ho slapping had really taken it out of him. As for the sleeping beauty in the next movie, he was so into his RPG he couldn't face the arduous two-foot trek to his bed, opting instead to nod off on an 'arthritis 100% guaranteed or your money back' desk chair...
