Yesterday saw me begin my hospital management summer internship.
It all started when I was wandering through Game Station to look at retro consoles when I saw Theme Hospital for £4. I had no real option but to buy it. Especially as it’s multi-player so we can do some LAN parties with it. Having been discussing this several days earlier it would have been a missed opportunity not to buy it.
I started playing in the late afternoon evening time and soon found myself engrossed in the game. Next thing I know it’s 2am and I’m all but screaming at my computer screen. Machine after machine blowing up, 2-3 epidemics per minute - what am I doing wrong? Why are my handmen useless? There are 30 of them on staff for smeg’s sake.
The last thing I need at this time of year is more stress. But all I want to do is start playing again.

Thats what you get when you play computer games; the promise of stress relief but the reality of stress of not being able to complete part of it coupled with the addiction of wanting to get back to it even if its pissed you off no end.

Hmm… That is something I can do without internet! Computer games… now I just need to find some I haven’t sent to Norms and which don’t require the net…
