When after playing Unreal Tournament (on GMC servers -Giant Maps) you're walking through your house looking inadvertantly in heating vents and on top of door frames for other players or snipers....

I stopped playing for a while when that happened to me

When your uptime on your laptop encroaches on that of your servers......

When you go wireles only so you can bring your laptop into the study (b-room)......

When you IM people in the next room AT HOME....
