My gaming addiction

    So I'm not making a farewell but I just thought I'd let everyone know that I will not be playing TTT or any games anymore. I am not who I want to be at 24 years old. Gaming is more of an addiction to me than it is fun anymore.

    I don't really know what else to say. I just feel like I want to be someone else, and I cannot moderate my time spent. It's wakeup-> work -> play video games -> eat dinner -> sleep. Repeat.

    I plan on selling my computer. It's one beast of a machine that I've spent $2800 +games on in the last year. Going forward I plan on popping in on shout box still, speaking my mind here and finding other things productive to do like working out or building that 250lb payload quad copter I talked about in my introduction here a year and a half ago.

    Thanks for the fun times and I'll keep in touch.

    We had a lot of fun times in TTT, I hope we can play again sometime. For now though, you should do what you've stated.

    You made a tough decision, best of luck in the future! The quad copter sounds really cool, you should keep us updated if you get around to it.

    You can be whoever you want and play video games. I played video games in the Air Force. I played video games during the Police Academy. You're good homie. Don't give up what makes you happy. You start sacrificing things like that and you'll just end up going insane!

    You just need to work on a balance between gaming and pursuing a career. Good luck, if you want any advice I'm always available.

    While I'm convinced you can play video games and have a proper private life, always sad to see someone leave. Maybe one day you'll come back (and be able to moderate your playtime as you said at once).

    See you until then and best of luck!

    It's not an easy choice, forcing yourself out of your comfort zone and take a step towards what you really want to do. But we are the ones who shape our own life and sometimes, to get the shape we want, we need to give up on the distractions and the things that keep us locked in place. I've been there before, I know how it feels, and that's why I'm so glad you did this.
    Be proud man, you're doing the right thing. And best of luck with whatever you're up to.

    I've always liked playing with you man. I'm going to miss you in the games.
    Some advice if anything, I was really depressed before I started school because my life everyday was "wake up > play video games > work > Sleep" maybe you should just take a break before you sell your PC and find something that will make you feel like your happy before hand.
