Okay, your boss/parent/etc tells you to “stop playing that stupid computer game”. You need a quick excuse, right? Well, I can tell you one thing, you don’t want any of these excuses…

• “I have to finish this level. The game won’t let me quit if I don’t.”
• “Uh, what computer game?”
• “Take that, PKer! (turns from computer) Huh, did you say something?”
• “This isn’t a game, it’s a virtual world.”
• “Oh, do you want to play?”
• “Ten more minutes!”
• “I’m in the middle of a quest! I can’t stop now!”
• “Move, you’re blocking the light.”
• “You’re a noob. Come back when I’m not busy.”
• “Oh, I was just checking to see how much gold I have. I was only going to be on for a couple minutes.”
• “I’ve only been playing for…hmmm…ummm….well, only a few hours.”
• “Let me do one more thing before I get off.”
