Hey, I'm not the one playing it! :)

I don't really know for sure, it was just an educated guess based on the fact
that it appears to be a 3D RPG and he/she's obsessive enough to have that many
screens dedicated to displaying whatever it is.

I've had a few interesting links pointed out to me in relation to EQ over the
last few days. There was a big slashdot thread on it...

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/27/1748252&mode=thread&tid=127

I can't remember where I saw the other article, possibly Metafilter or
somewhere, but the discussion was far more reasoned and thoughtful than the ./
rambling. I know a couple who are frighteningly into EQ. I mean I play a
reasonably amount of videogames (although the older I get the less inclined I
am to bother unless it's a sociable thing, i.e. sat round a console with
friends and beers) but their level of commitment to it is worrying at times.

But yes, the obsessive compulsive aspects of MMPORPGs is scary and fascinating
in equal measure.

Will.
