eh it does have bad things, n stuff, like me sitting here 20 hours straight playing City of Heroes throughout the night and drinking mountain dew, one after another. But meh, everyone has their hobbies :D. To be honest, since my life has been such crap i should say in the REAL life, and the fact that it would take awhile to even begin getting better, IF , I SAY IF, it would even if i did like....... work out, lose weight, have my hair cut to a better more "girl likeable haircut", etc. etc. etc. but you know what, screw that ^^, im having a good time playing video games, and exercise isnt my thing, especially since when i run alot i start to taste blood (is that bad? lol, no blood is ever apparent in my spit, but i just swear i taste it). but meh ill stick to my computer and the life i have on that, since i have good friends here, and on CoH, and that eh, screw women, they have just been trouble to me so far. Atleast im not like a germ freak, or a perfectionist. Though i do have a better IQ then usual, im just unmotivated....... like alot of smart people, who just dont give a ^^ about such a inevicent world and ...... ill just stop here lol

I guess total abandon of gaming was impossible. I'll be coming back to play, but not as much.

My apologies to Grimm if I sound like I'm just seeking attention. I am going through alot of personal struggles and I just had a breakdown, gaming was an easy target.

As long as you don't permanently leave, tis good for the community. Saw you in game today, you seem as if nothing has changed.
As you said, scale yourself
As I said. dont restrict yourself

Some people have trouble choosing their priorities.  I'm one of them.  Boy, if I could put away gaming for just a week I could get so much accomplished!  Hey bob, guess when was the last time I worked on that map conversion...2 weeks ago!  Yeah, I suck.

It all comes down to personally habit, just try to limit yourself to only a bit of gaming a day.  Easier said than done, I know.  If you have trouble putting down the keyboard I would seek some kind of consultant.  Good to know you're not gone for good though! <3  <3  <3

Iconoclast, I just wanted to wish you luck in your endeavors, and I hope you find the time to balance your priorities. I know gaming can really take president if you're not careful. I'm glad you're willing to sacrifice it in order to lead a more normal, healthy, balanced life.





Oh yeah, and GG today on Nancy, your fade took out our whole base almost singlehandedly  ;)

I managed to do this for sereral months, and learned a very important lesson.  It simply cannot be done unless you replace gaming with some other time-consuming hobby.  We, as gamers, learn to depend on this for many things, including stress reduction and relaxation.  If you find no other way to gain these benefits, you will inevitably come back, no matter how stubborn, tough, or detemined you are.  From my observations, one of the best substitutes is a girlfriend.  However, I find that moderate gaming is not a problem, and there is no reason to stop altogether.

Welcome to the boards, Asal!  'Bout time you showed up.

I find gaming to be best when you don't have time to do crazy binges on it.  Balance it with other hobbies and it brings more satisfaction... i.e. I'm not on the server that much between a full-time job, a girlfriend, and a band, so every hour of gaming I get is sweet sweet nectar.  You have to WANT to do something else though, or it will never happen.  Also your room will never get cleaned.

...even without games, my room never got cleaned.  For that matter, I always seemed to have dirty laundry lying around.  What's up with that?  You mean I have to do work? How annoying.  :(

As for showing up, I decided it was about time to go out and find these things, after seeing them mentioned one too many times.  It bugged me.  I want to see all the craziness the place cooks up, not just the little portion I have a hand in on the server itself.

He doesn't seem to be limiting himself very well, I see him on the server quite often.

Hey, leave the poor gent alone. He tried to break the gaming demon, realized that wouldn't work, so now he's doing what he feels is best. He surely doesn't need harassment from the rest of you feeming addicts.
