i've got a personal problem:
i am a computer games addict and i need to limit my access to games (forbid all games, actually).
I know i should solve this problem from the other end e.g. find interesting hobbies, etc. But i tried it several times and failed.
Basically, i need a way to make it impossible to play games on pc, yet being able to use it for other purposes, which include programming using popular languages and web surfing. Thing is, i am kind of advanced user, so i can see no software way (that i can not bypass having physical access to pc) to do this. Added: popular mainstream games are cross-platform or Wineable nowadays :-/
Only thing that comes to my mind: change pc video card to something older, like 64 MB, so i wont be able to play any new games.
So i'm asking you, guys, for help :-)

The Mac still has access to many games. – Juice – 2009-12-21T16:01:44.937
At times I've wanted a way for my computer to turn itself off when it gets late so I don't stay up too late playing games. Reminds me of the "droud" timer Louis Wu created in Ringworld. – stone – 2009-12-30T09:24:40.053
