&lt;p&gt;I really hate when people post like that, just do it normally. You aren&amp;#39;t special or anything if you post in different colors, you&amp;#39;re just annoying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: gaming &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; life</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/thread/71437.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:28:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:71437</guid><dc:creator>Collision236</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah for real my eyes hurt when i tried to read it at first.

I pretended I was sick so I could go home early from school and ignored the phone during cutscenes that way i didnt risk skipping them. Thats it.

Mainly because I&amp;#39;ve missed out on the games that cause that and I really wasn&amp;#39;t &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; into gaming for a long time. I don&amp;#39;t like to admit my Dark Ages, but it&amp;#39;s sadly true. The closest I&amp;#39;ve ever come to it is playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Pokemon Platinum for 4-12 hours in one day when I first got them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>gaming &amp; life</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/thread/71383.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:59:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:71383</guid><dc:creator>Esco1981</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;Have you ever played this one game that totally took over your time.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;a) call in sick from work to beat more levels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;b) play hookey from school&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;c) not answer your phone in fear that people might want to come over&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;d) pretend that your busy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;e) all of the above&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;For me the game was bejeweled. Yes i wrote bejeweled. I would stay up late trying to win trophies telling myself just one more level. I told myself this until it was almost 5am in the morning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:terminal, monaco;background-color:#cd3195;"&gt;Tell me your story...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
