'Online poker addict' vignette

'Online poker addict'

Real life story. My friend got him self into online poker, and never does anything else anymore. He neglected his other hobbies (photography), and I tried to capture it on vignette.

Please comment it. Thanks.

You should've put an axe or something on the girl's hand, since it's almost Halloween and all.

I know if my boyfriend would be a poker addict and spending all our money on playing it, there would be at least severed limbs, if not bodies.

Anyway, this vignette is very nice with loads of realistic details - the computer mouse, for example. I'm not sure on the head-choice for the man, though - he looks a bit old for the purpose.

[Guss]

I also had a friend who, apart his job, spent all his time playing poker on internet... I tried to convince him to stop , but he never stopped, so it's not my friend anymore.

anyway, it's a very good vignette, you just need a little keyboard to put in front of the guy ^^

witty and clever. I like it.

It's most unfortunate that your friend got addicited to such ill-gotten passion... Do hope you are able to help your friend out of this peril.

Back to your vig, you have depicit the above scenario very well. It looks simple, but you get your message across effectively. Perhaps, the girl/wife should use a hammer and smash that computer up, instead of running it away.

Thanks for sharing!

Great Vignette. Seems he wants the screen more than her. Oh the addiction.

[Zorro]

Yes, your vignette looks so fine, too bad this represents reality...

YOU DID SHOW HIM THIS THREAD, DID YOU? If you haven't already, please do so now, then he can read how other people think about such addictive behaviour...often addicts (to whatever they might be addicted...) think other people don't care about it or don't see it, and if they see it they MUST think it's normal. Well, that ain't so... CONFRONT HIM TO THE END,

whatever the end might mean (separation, divorce, ending up broke).

A for your creation, z_zadar! And I hope you can convince him to put a (very large) brake/stop on it.

BTW: Did you ever consider NOT paying the phone/cable bill once "by accident?"

Ha-ha great eye for a details :)

But sadly, the head-choice was chosen quite correctly because he is not quite so young. We are all in our early thirties, and we all have our little addictions. His to online poker, and mine to Lego.

Thank you all for reply, I've showed him this tread, and I hope it will make at least small difference.

Thank you all!!

Thats really cool!!

Mom used to be obsessed with online poker, but I got get off of it.

[Razzer]

Ha Hah! Thats great, although if I were you I would have put cobwebs by his camera something and given the woman a suitacase to show that she was leaving him !

Overall an A* MOC with brilliant details...*sigh* if only I could build that well...

Nice little vignette, I like the computer and the shelf.

The head choice for the man makes him look funny...

I don't know what my girlfriend would do if I went on online poker though....

[Dragonator]

I'm addicted to dragons... and Lego. And coming on this forum every waking hour of my life.

It's all good!

Nice vig, it really does get the message across. Is that his camera, or is that camera watching him? Somebody is using that camera to cheat in the poker games!

The computer is done really nicely, although I don't think a computer keyboard would go amiss. For your next vignette, I want to see one of you building with Lego.

Lego Addiction ON!

Online Poker Addiction OFF!
