Then ask her if she wants you to end up like she did.

I'd think that might be a

I second that. He might just achieve the exact opposite with that statement...
On the other hand TC, you can try some different approaches. Instead of just playing games, you can try other things. You can make music, try photoshopping, write your own novel, try making something with architecture programs (I had fun trying to make our own house in 3D Home Architect a while back). And the best in all this, you can say it's for a school project. I myself like to make music in FL Studio, or doodle away in Photoshop making wallpapers and such. And there is my novel too. You can try making animations or other Flash stuff, it's fun. I think this might even please your mom, that you are learning something on the computer that might even be your job someday, and those are useful skills to have for you too

The other thing, if you really only want to play games, is a bit tough cookie. You have to stay vigilant and firm. Play your games, and don't let yourself bothered by anybody. Don't answer to her, don't do anything when she freaks out, simply ignore her. Soon, she will give up to try to get you away from the computer. This, however, will have a huge impact on your family relationships, so only use when nothing else left.
