One More Turn Syndrome

A condition often associated with strategical games of the video nature. It has destroyed the lives of many, causing sleepless nights and missed job interviews. Symptoms include a detachment from reality, complete lack of time awareness, and an inability to stop mobilizing your forces.

A far greater threat than Restless Leg Syndrome, yet it frequently goes unrecognized and untreated. The Silent Killer.

Little Johnny: " I'll go to bed after one more turn."

Little Johnny: "Just one more turn."

1:30 AM

Little Johnny: " I'll go to bed after just one more turn."

Parents find Little John dead, eyes glued to the screen and only two turns away from world domination. One More Turn Syndrome strikes again.
