Mmm... what have I been playing? Let me think... Oh yes, an embarrassing amount of Diablo3, that's what!

I know I'm on a gaming treadmill, farming bigger and bigger numbers, but I still can't stop. It's a disease, but thankfully I think the love affair is starting to come to an end as it takes longer and longer to get another number fix.

At the moment the thing that keeps me going is the 'gaming god' sensation I get when I find a Conduit Shrine in a Rift, hopefully stacked with Frenzy, and can rush about for a few precious seconds dealing death on a *massive* scale. It is... intoxicating.

I'm ashamed to say that even though my circumstances mean I ought to get as much sleep as I can, whenever I can, Diablo's 'one more quick reward cycle' has lured me into the early hours more times than I care to confess. 

I look forward to getting back to a bit of gentle Bejewelled and the occasional dabble in my Steam library. But not yet... I have to level up this legendary jewel a few more times go electrocute some pixels.
