Question:
would say about a year ago i had some severe computer
addiction.....everything I did centered around the computer....I have a
girlfriend and everything(maybe you remember AVG_Badaracco) and she is still
around but I can remeber we used to go out and as soon as i got home i would
switch on the puter..and tap away at the keys.....literaly being on the
computer was what mattered.i didnt see it as destructive at the time ..but
it led to many personal problems in life....I wasnt doing the OTHER things i
needed to do to be succesful..such as get a job.or transiton from college
to the real world....college is LA LA Land but when you get out and your
living with your parents and your main goal in life is to shoot down that
A$$hole who ripped ya in theinternet....well soemthing is wrong....to that effect
I unplugged my computer..instead of making $240 bucks a week i worked hard
everyday to find a job instead of sitting in theinternet..i now make 6-7 times
that amount..instead of not going anywhere to see anything I now have gone
to many historical forts like ticonderoga and fort henry in the lake george
region..i have been to gettysburg..the point is that the computer is a
destruct8ve tool to your life...it can eat away your time and prevent you
from doing what you need to do to be succesful.....
The reason I post this is becuse Strangly I fell my time with Fighter ACE
is running down..my obsession with computers long over is now almost non
exxitent..I look more at owning that $10000 John deere 445 lawn mower as a
source of pride than i do at my computer....in fact mowing the lawn is much
more comforting and less stressfula nd give me time to think than FA
II.....in oth3er words maybe i have just lost my passion for FA..i still
play but no where near as much as i did 2 years ago.....2 years ago i wanted
to have the biggest squad in FA..the best squad..now i dont care....again I
think I am just fading away.....maybe some of you think thats great and
strngly i would get fired up about that in the ole days.but now i dont
care....I would say that over the next year or so my posts here will get les
and less numerous untill my name is forgotten..never existed......Strangly i
wonder what will happen as more and more of us fall out and new people come
in.....hell I have been around some of you guys for what 3 years?
more?......way way back in the 1.0 beta?.......But yes I feel My interest in
FA slipping through my fingers.....the only thing i can compare it to is
Graduation....Ive never seen some of my high school classmates
again....colege is the same way....eveyone go on their way.......fade
away.....I know I am fading....a year or so i give it b4 i am gone.....i
doubt even the bearcat would move me to stay.......and its not a probelm
with FA II.its the greates game ever made PERIOD...its a case of moving
on...going elsewhere......doing new things... but maybe it wont happen who
knows I juat think it will........and indeed it has been happening to
me..fading fading fading
Answer:
Truly the man speaks the truth in more ways than he knows. Just wait till
you get married and have kids Girvin. Then your perspective will be "I only
want to escape for a little while." That is what I do when my son takes his
naps on the weekend either before or after we have been up since WAYYYYYY
before daylight playing with his Lego's or coloring. Then in the fall we
get up early and go to the football games and have a blast then he comes
home and crashes for 2-3 hours and it is time for Dad to "escape" reality
for a little while. Just have the will power and the self control man and
everything else will fall in place and you just may forget about all
computer games forever
