Help with something I percieve as addiction?

First of all, I like playing mmorpg’s alot. Runescape, Runes of Magic, Rose online, maplestory, etc. I stopped playing all of them but I started runes of magic. ITs like WoW as people say, but i never played WoW and i dont plan on doing so.

I am not a game addict, but i regard myself as one. The only time i play games (mmorpg’s) is at night from 11:00p.m to 2:00p.m. If i were home alone, I would probably play all day. I’m sick and tired of this dumb habit. I understand that mmorpg’s like WoW and others mentioend above are a total waste of life. These games give absolutly nothing except for messing up peoples lives. I want to stop playing mmorpg’s totally. Playing these games is sort of what i do in my free time. 3 hours everyday. Its summer, so thats probably normal for most people. But for me its the same thing as playing 24/7. Can anyone help me, give advice, or motivation to stop playing games. I am going to make the first move by un-installing all games on my computer. I did this two times before but I downloaded other mmorpg’s after 6 months or so. Now I want to stop 100% and I am willing to do whatever it takes.

One thing I want someone to clearly explain to me is the point of playing these games. I want to know what good I gain from these games. I always ask myself, "why do I play this game?" I jsut want to stop for the rest of my life and I don’t want this habit to stick with me when I am in college.

Things I have been doing to stop this addiction is

"driving training". MY goal is to finish it as soon as possible and start driving with friends. Takes my mind of games.

Music- listening to music relaxes me. I only like listening to music when I am doing nothing, so this helps.

Reading stuff online (general knowledge/stuff i’m itnerested in: biology) news. I’m going to start reading about car parts so I can fix my own car.

Recently got a program called blender. (Not a game) I want to make small animations like Ice Age. You can make games with it, but i do not want to.

Working out: I can’t go to the gym, can’t drive yet, so i’m creating a workout plan for home: pushups, sit-ups, crunches, leglifts, weights, etc.

Is this a good start to get away from addiction to games?
Please help me in any way.

Is the Magic Bullet system worthwhile?

I’m thinking of getting one, since I live by myself and the single size cups would be handy. I also make a lot of stuff that can be made with the Magic Bullet, like smoothies, quesadillas, salsa, guacamole, etc. I have a Hamilton Beach blender but it’s kind of bothersome to wash it every morning after I make my smoothie. Should I get a Magic Bullet system or just keep using my blender and maybe pick up a food processor for salsa and stuff?
Lol, suggested category: Society & Culture > Mythology & Folklore

I guess because it’s "magic"?

Magic bullet (or other appliance) to grate cheese, crush ice?

I’ve been reading consumer reviews on the Magic Bullet and I’ve noticed that one thing they don’t cover is it’s ability to crush ice. I have a knockoff "Magic Blender" that does ok at crushing ice but I’d really like something that does it well. I have to break up the ice a bit before I put it in my blender.

The other thing I do a lot in the kitchen and hate doing is grating/shredding cheese. The Bullet claims to grate hard cheeses like Parmesan but makes no mention of soft cheeses like cheddar. I wouldn’t really expect a blender to do soft cheeses because they tend to just smush.

So, how does the Magic Bullet really do at crushing ice? Is there an appliances that does it better? And is there a mechanical appliance that will shred soft cheeses like cheddar?

How was I to know there was another ” Magic Bullet ” besides the ice crusher/blender thing? I have a problem..?

Some of us know some of the issues I have gotten myself into lately. So to be nice, I figured i would send some people the "Magic Bullet" drink making system that I had seen on TV. Well I could not find the info-mercial again so I just googled it online and ordered it. Of course I did not read any of the ad. I just jumped to the order page, saw that they had a special " buy 2 get 1 free".. so I figured I might just as well get the wife one. So I ordered rush delivery–: 1 to Rachel at work ( the sexual harassment case), 1- to my next door neighbor ( telescope thing, too many to list etc) and 1 for my wife. I added little cards to personalize them, " Hope this helps after a long hard day at work" for Rachel, and " This will be fun next time we come over" for the neighbors.
Well, yesterday I came home to a smiling wife….she said how great the gift was. I said cool, lets get the kids down and fire it up. I was soon slapped hard across the face, followed by a box hitting me in the head. I did not realize there is an adult toy with the same name. So, should I avoid the neighbors and just quit my job now?
Maggie- sorry about that, and NO they do not realize how lucky they are

What do you think of the magic bullet, or food processors, blenders, etc.?

I have always wanted to buy a magic bullet, but I have read such mixed reviews on it. I am looking for something that can do pretty much all the same things the magic bullet promises like chopping, making smoothies, grinding coffee beans, pureeing, making soups, pesto, etc.
so if you have had a previous experience with a magic bullet, or know of a food processor, or blender (or combination of the two) that will do the job i’d like to know. thanks!
