Hey, I feel normal! 
If you ever thought you had no life and wasted too much time playing video games, this guy's got you beat: a man in Manchester, England has been playing Galaxia for two hours a night for twenty-four years. Yes, count 'em, twenty-four. (He just got the highest score ever, 399,290 points, but says he won't be satisfied till he gets a million points.) Somewhat unexpectedly, he's married:
His understanding wife of 24 years, Trish, said she had not considered divorcing him.

"It's not like I didn't know what I was getting into," she said.

"He has always been really interested in video games.

"At least I know where he is and what he's up to. It's our silver wedding next years so I'll wait till then and then we'll see."
"We'll see"? Perhaps not as indicative of not wanting a divorce as it could be. But heck, she gets points for putting up with it at all—perhaps even a million points.

Yes, that's me.
