They are attracted to the intense heat that my computer puts out when playing MW:O (and only MW:O).

Seriously its like how they described the inside of a mech in the novels... I'm sweating like a pig as I play because the heat output is so high, and the bugs LOVE the heat.

Get one of those bug candles? Smoke tends to drive insects away as well, incense burner!

Clean your house. They're not going from outdoors to your PC; they're already in your house.

Alternatively, release house centipedes in your room.

you can use centipedes but then you have centipedes; you could puck packages of those crystals that keep things dry, since silverfish like woodlice live in moisture.
but said packages are toxic to pets and children so dont do it if you have a pet, DON'T.

It sounds like you're describing the variant known as a "Firebrat" which have a high affinity for heat.

i suppose. some people do get attached to their children. i for one think they are a drain on society and need to get jobs. they also spread many flavors of illness and disease. and don't get me started on how loud and messy they are!

but back to the original question: i have yet to find a good method for getting rid of a child infestation.

I guess I could get a cat, but then it'd have silverfish breath.

If it was Swedish Fish, YOU could have Swedish Fish breath! But I say go for it anyway and just eat the Silverfish....I mean, it goes Swedish, Silver, Gold, right? And Swedish Fish are pretty good...so imagine what Silverfish taste like! Plus you'd never have to get up for a snack again.

Between this and the new sounds (which I like, btw), this game is going to give me PTSD...

Silverfish are hunting the other bugs in your place. I would consider calling an exterminator. Once you kill those bugs the silverfish should go away.
