Dragon Age: Origins ruined my life

[Shycte]

I blame this game and this game ALONE for ruining my life.

Let me explain. I am/was very happy with myself, I have a great girlfriend, good grades and I'm in shape. Everything was going fine, BUT THEN! Dragon Age: Origins came as a bomb into my life killing every thing close to a social life with in a 10 mile radius.

I just can't stop playing it, it's ridiculous. So right now I'm hoping that I will be able to stay away from the game long enough for my girlfriend and grades to recover.

So, have anyone else had a similar experience with this game? Or any other game for that matter.

EDIT: Before you post, ask your self; Is this guy serious? Should I take this seriously?

No, no you should not.

If you have such problems with the game. Destroy the CD or put it away?

 

[WrongSprite]

Stop playing it, simple as that. If you don't have the will to stop playing it, when things like a relationship are at risk, I worry about you.

duude this is not an mmo.. it's not supposed to be able to ruin your life

I hope you're joking, because if you aren't you should seek help :S

I too like the game very much but I do not allow it to control my life.

It's pretty pathetic if you can't make yourself play in moderation.

 

[neosman8]

just stop playing it it isnt that hard just dont put it into your consle/pc simple.

Is this after you've finished it? I wasn't able to stop playing it the first playthrough, I was glued to it. But I can still retain a life while playing it through casually other times. I can't imagine being that addicted after finishing it, it's not an MMO.

Baldur's Gate did that for me.
I freaking love that game.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Um, everything in moderation?

It's not the game's fault.

You guys are taking this thread way to serious.

I never relised why that game is so popular. All i've played is a GBA version which i did not like much. Why is it so good?

If Bioware are able to create this level of addiction in an offline single player RPG, then what's gonna happen when The Old Republic goes live??!!

 

[Discon]

Either you're young, and grades aren't vitally important, or you have some kind of mental condition and you shouldn't be playing anything more addictive than Peggle or whatever.

The game of life ruined my life. I just can't stop playing it.... until the game over that is. No continues you see.

Not to mention made of truth.

OT: My wife reminded me gently that writing is more important than Dragon Age. I've gotten some work done over the weekend thanks to her guidance. She likes the game too, but we have other things to do.

Or maybe I was joking?

Maybe, just maybe....

I have a strange feeling that another Bioware offering, Star Wars: The Old Republic, will do the same to me. It is a depressing thought but one cannot escape their fate.
