How to Tell if You're Binge Gaming

So this last weekend I ,once again, binged on video games.  And afterwards I noticed some things that one might call 'indicators' of this not so wonderful behavior.   And a quick word or two about how you're becoming an awful human.

You've Been Playing a Lot

Firstly, and most obviously, if you've been playing a shit ton of video games, it seems like that could go without saying, but there is a clear difference between playing a contextually appropriate amount of games and binging.  You can play a lot for a night so long as you've friends there with you, but if you've been maxing out solo, you're probably not looking all the better for it. 

Haven't Moved

Well there's your primary hint right there, if you're not moving around somethings wrong.  If you're feeling a general sense of lethargy, or just a plain old hatred of the world, this is a sign that you've been binging on slothliness.  Enjoy.

Ripped Potato Bags

Call it strange, but if there is more than exactly one bag of chips or something of the like, which you have ripped a side down in order to get at the chips with more ease.  Then you are binging.   Its just deplorable behavior, and if you catch yourself doing it with frequency, you're probably not being very healthy.  Also, you're getting the controller all greasy, or your shirt if you're wiping it there, point is something is getting greased up.

Previous Meals in Vision

If you can see the remains of anything more than the last thing you've eaten from your perch, you're doing it wrong.  Likewise, if your countertop is a beer and taco graveyard, it's probably time to get out of the couch-lock and do real person things.

Fixed-Point Hedonism

This is a big one, if you can't even get up to get fucked up, you're either depressed or in the thralls of gaming or both.  If you do the things you do to yourself normally to get twerked, while sitting and not moving, they're going to lose all the things that made them twerky in the first place.   And that's a damn shame.  It's like you're sucking the reverence out of social deviancy with a plastic controller and comfortable pillows.  

Basically, the point is that if you can see everything that you've been doing for the past couple days, without moving, it's time to get up and do things.
