Roller Coaster Tycoon should help.

Optical_Order

That's actually good advice. 

I beat Rogue Legacy last night with my free time :cool:

That's sad.

I have to go for weeks without it and I do fine.

ok

Did most of them before I joined the military. My recent history here is pretty sporadic.

You can check, if you really want.

Do you work? Have school? Other activities? You should find some other way to entertain yourself outside the internet. The Internet is great, but it sounds like you let it run your life.

That's good. Still, the reaction you had was a little extreme, but for all I know you are exaggerating a bit for effect.

I did an 8 day silent retreat before. No internet, no phones, no television, no talking for 8 days. It was a very relaxing and changing experience. You should try giving up internet for a week. Develop new hobbies try new things so you aren't so attached to the internet.

No netflix, no online gaming, no checking my email or forums, lots of raging at comcast.

 

I must be addicted to the internet. I don't even spend that much time online but if I don't get to do my daily routine things on the net I feel a twitch in the side of my neck. HELP!!! What would happen if the internet just ceased to exist one day...what would happen to me

Calm down... calm down. :| I myself can be pretty attached to the Internet, but it's always good to have backup avenues in case your Internet times out or something. I play my PS3, watch TV, work on some of my designs or go somewhere and do something (one of those four usually) until the Internet is back.

You should try and leave your house for moments... you know, to the actual world that is outside...

Buy Dungeon Keeping and Theme Hospital from gog.com so if it goes down again you have something to keep you busy.

lol I like those occasional outages.  I read like two books, clean my room, watch the news, cook, and do all kinds of productive stuff.

Makes me really wonder about my life and how much better it'd be without a computer...

Get a girlfriend :D.

If you already have one, go out with her.

Or go out with friends.
