The Challenge

Hello. My name is Erik, but online I go by Raptor3k, or Raptor for short. I am a Gamer.

To be clear of my level of obsession, I have a wii, a 360, a Playstation 3, a Nintendo 64 in a closet, and a very reasonably powered PC. (AMD Athlon 64 x2, 5000+, 4 gigs Ram, 8800 GT 512Mb, XP 64bit.) I currently play Rock Band at any time that I can find aviable, then spend time on homework and comic if possible.

At times, I could be playing two games at once (Not the most successfully mind you, but I try stupidly). ALl this in mind, my co-workers have challenged me.

"I bet you couldn't go a week without a video game."

I asked how much.

And that is how it started. I have placed my faith and my wallet in the hands of two of my co-workers, who are obligated to give me the ultimate non-gaming week, Week of Hell if you will. The date set for this is the week of Thanksgiving, where I do not have school as a complete distraction.

Not only have I a week to suffer, but I also have tasks to follow:
Completely read The Stand by Stephen King.
One board game with my sister and/or Mother. (*Cringe*)
Watch the entirety of a football game set in this week.
Blog about it as often as I can.
Comic blog, which I plan to attempt daily.

The details are still being sorted out, especially on how to tell if I have gamed or not, while I have assured them that I will pay up the moment I press start. So far they don't believe me...

Nor does my friends....

Nor does my mom....

So this is it, I'm out to prove ALL of you wrong. I will go a whole week without Games! ...And if i go nuts in the process, then all my viewers will have something interesting to read. If anyone has suggestions on how I can prove that I'm not gaming that week, please comment.
