Besides that I would just like to say, I have been a long time lurker on the site and just like 5 minutes ago made an account so I could comment your blog. So to get to my point: I never really thought about how much of my time is spent on games. It is actually kinda crazy but reading this blog made me realize that need a break from my gaming life. I just believe that you need to have balance. Time management is essential to a healthy and great gamer. Unless you are baller ass rich and get to do whatever you want all day. WOOT PS 1000 bucks out the window (har har) is fucking crazy. -i3eaners- Yo Yo r1ft,

Good to see you in this neck of the woods. Thanks for the clarification... you guys got a bit of slack for the AoC beta videos which is why I mentioned that. Ah, the life of gamers. We're a finicky bunch. Hey Keeny! Good to see you in this neck of the woods.

This has actually been a great awakening for me. I know ive had my angsty days when i decided to lasso my 80$ mouse across the room, and against a wall! When that happend ive realized that there are more important things in life than losing to a round in dust on CS:S (which let alone if your still playing that lvl "24/7" as an AWP whore, then there is no hope for you here, seek imidiate psychiatric help! lol newb!) so since then ive learned a simple leason in life, after that happend and i cooled down i joked about it with friends and they were all like haha you idiot! Im like well its tough being a gaming master... its a lot of stress! lol! RIght.... anyway as ive said, if your going to end up smashing your pooter than you really should take more breaks then needed and learn some self control!

Drunken breaking of things is normal =). Well, I think so, my wife doesn't, which is why I have to be gentle with my new X-box controllers, I'm not allowed any more.

Hi, I'm the author of that oh-so-depressing blog entry. First I just want to clarify a few things. I am a 23 years old and my brother is 21. We're both college students, not in HS. ;) It's important to read the article fully so that the quotes are used in context. In the beginning I said that the summer is beginning as it did last year and ATTEMPTING (it's even bolded here) to slump on me. Then at the end of the article, after going through all the games that look even remotely interesting, I stated that the latter half of summer will be pretty good on consoles, decent on PC games, but abysmal in mmorpgs. Depressing? Absolutely. The market is dryer than my mom's pork chops. Worth throwing things over? Nah, not until the games coming out flop. THEN it's time to throw things.

We have the technology, We can make you better, stronger, faster. Mordikay is opposed to nerd rage and never shows it. Only times i get like that is when i've been out of smokes for more then 12 hours or no sex in month...combine both and all hell is lose. Anyways this is how a lot of people live their life today and it is kind of depressing in many aspects. There are good sides to it as well as a lot of enjoyment comes from it. Thing you just have to realize is if you are aware of it or not and if you are satisfied making the choice living like that. Myself as a 10+ year veteran of mmo games know this all too well and only over the later years prioritized other stuff. Having friends is the best thing in the world. Btw Danny boy when are you inviting me down to meet you frog eating family? We can rebuild you. We have the technology, We can make you better, stronger, faster.
