I've developed an obsession with the game 'tetris' and it's driving me mad. how do i defeat this obsession?

Question

please help, when i'm not playing it on the computer, i'm playing it virtually in my head :( and i don't even like it :(

Answer 1

I'm a Tetris addict too!

I'm still figuring out though.. i grow up with it basically.. ahahax =]

Answer 2

Haha, this is the same way I was a few months ago when I started playing Tetris. Whenever I closed my eyes, it was there in my head! I eventually got bored of playing it... You should just simply stop playing it and don't let yourself to even start playing for 5 mins cos 5mins will turn into an hour.

Answer 3

Oh dear! My joystick has sat in the drawer beside my computer for ages and ages, and now I feel compelled to get it out and load up my emulator and play my old black and white Tetris game..........I had forgotten all about it. I used to be addicted to it on the Game Boy until my screen went blank through overuse...... Now it looks like its all going to start up again!!

Emma I hold you solely responsible for making me do this. I should be cooking dinner.....but it can wait!!

Answer 4

Switch the computer off and walk away.......

Answer 5

Its a brilliant game. I am obsessed with interacting with people on this....I really want to go and do the toilet but no...yahoo answers!

Answer 6

Read a book? :)

I know you're probably thinking: um, no. boring.

But I suggest Joanna Nadin and Louise Rennison, as they are set like diaries, and are quite addictive too.

If not; buy an adventure game and get into that instead!

I suggest a Final Fantasy game, as there are loads of them; and not all are hard and really battle-mad.

Or find a new programme to watch (online or tv, dvd, etc.). I did this and am now obsessed with Dawson's Creek (;

The positives from watching programmes/reading is that it's actually got something to do with you and you growing up, so it's better to obsess over that (;

Hope this helps, but sorry if it doesn't! :S

Answer 7

Goto Six Flags or a similar amusement park, it helps cure some of my video game obssesions. Find something that interests you, that makes you think. Back in my runescape addiction days (lol) I would go out and play basketball with my buddies and sweat it down. Tetris is a different story I guess, just find something else to occupy your mind or go on a vacation with your family to six flags maybe =)

You'll be fine

Answer 10

Get a life?  

Answer 11

Try something new, but familiar.  Like Dr. Mario, or Bloons Tower Defense, or Mahjongg.  You might ween yourself away from Tetris like that.
