may make your opponent mad. Second, he or she could decide to take revenge and that's probably not good for your health.

Hazard 7: Track of time
So you're having great fun but now for some reason you decided to stop playing (batteries died perhaps), and you've just realized you totally lost track of time and missed a meeting with someone. Whether it's an appointment, a date, a special event, your work shift, etc, you probably won't get away cleanly and the consequences could cause you depression, pain, headache, loss of money/job, and various other symptoms that could in the future be extremely hazardous to your health.

Hazard 8: Neck pain & Posture
I can't believe I almost forgot this one. If you like to lay down on the sofa or your bed as you're playing, but can't seem to get that cushion just right, you could cause yourself some serious neck pain. Also if your back gets stiff from playing, and playing, and playing, and yet you don't move it a bit, you could do damage to both your back and neck. This in turn will cause you future back pain when you wake up, and a worse posture.

Hazard 9: People around you
I don't care how frustrated you get. Do not take your anger out on those around you. This could cause THEM health issues. More importantly, never throw your PSP in anger for any reason whatsoever. Seriously, you're bound to hit someone or something you really shouldn't.

Overall:
It's easy to hurt yourself if you don't think about what your actions will do, and refuse to moderate yourself. There are even more health hazards than I've mentioned, but making a full list would take too long. So behave! You've been warned!

Now I'm off to surf the web with my back hunched over, using a horrible non-ergonomic keyboard, and staring at the screen without movement for about 6 hours. Bye!
