Jesus christ.... the worst i ever did was eat a can of biscuits for dinner because it was the only thing i had in the house that would not take more than 30 seconds at a atime away from counter-strike.
And i was single at the time and my roommate was at his girlfriends for the weekend, and I had 0 responsibilities at the time.

RENO, Nev., July 16 (UPI) -- Reno, Nev., authorities say addictions to the Internet and Web-based video games led a couple to neglect the basic needs of their young children.
Authorities said Michael and Iana Straw, who pleaded guilty to two counts of child neglect, nearly starved their 11-month-old daughter and 2-year-old son to death because all of their time was spent on the Internet and playing the online version of fantasy role-playing game "Dungeons & Dragons," the Reno Gazette-Journal reported Monday.
Police said both children were on the verge of death when they were found by social workers during a visit to the home prompted by a neighbor's complaint of constant crying coming from the home. The infant girl was unable to lift her head or sit up due to a lack of muscle development. The 2-year-old boy was so stunted in muscle development that he had trouble walking.
