I know this is the worsst possible place to say this, but gaming, is actually getting a bit irritating. THE GAMES ARE ALL THE SAME!!! Think of something origonal before I quit my life long hobby.
Hey, one day you'll be walking and you'll come across a huge right triangle and you'll have to find what degrees it's angles are. Then you'll be glad!veekter post=18.70097.680801 said:i wish i could say i cared more about learning than gaming, but i just couldn't care less about learning, maybe because everything my school tries to teach is completely useless.
Funny, the only game you mentioned that I have any interest in is Spore, and the demo wouldn't work on my computer for some reason (maybe Vista related, I don't know) so I'm weary about getting that. The only games left this year for me are Tales of Symphonia 2 and Left 4 Dead, which I'll get for birthday/Christmas. And at this rate Vesperia will last me the year anyway.GoldenShadow post=18.70097.681414 said:I had a phase where I stopped wanting to play PC games, so I went to bed and woke up the next day, and it had passed. I am 25, and I work for a living. I save up a lot of money to buy a house soon, but I spend part of it on PC game software and a couple PS3 titles that I felt were must have, like GTA IV and Starwars Force Unleashed. With new games coming out like Spore, and Farcry 2, and Fallout 3, how can you not want to game every chance you get. I know I do because I don't get those chances too often.
Good post. =)cleverlymadeup post=18.70097.681480 said:i kinda go thru phases, you'll probly find this too. i had one time where i watched only certain things, played little video games, times where i was hardcore gaming. i played a lot of pc games cause i had no console or played consoles cause i didn't have a good enough pc
now my gaming has mostly been on the ps3, haven't had a lot of pc games that really got me addicted, WoW kinda sucked a lot of that out. heck i play games for a bit, longer games i take a break from or when i get bored of parts of it, started on mgs4 cause i was a bit bored of gta iv
as for me i got a ton of movies to watch, still, a ton of books, just ordered more and i got a whole lot of warhammer fantasy miniatures and other ones i can paint, tho i think i need new paint.
i applaud you for doing other things, it's always healthy to do that cause then you are more interesting instead of a one dimensional person, it's something you'll find as you get older. you are growing up a bit and won't always like doing the same things as you did as a kid
Ah, Photoshop. I recently acquired a copy and have been delving through it's incredible depths for many an hour.Anarchemitis post=18.70097.681831 said:Sometimes I all of a sudden find games very uninteresting and decide to dedicate some time to learning some of my fancy programs, like

To be fair, it's not a case of finding the time. It's a case of having the time and devoting to something other than gaming.RAKtheUndead post=18.70097.682289 said:I don't think that learning and computer games are mutually exclusive pastimes, and I think it's perfectly possible to balance the two without losing sight of one or the other.
I did try a Photoshop trial at one point. Most of my creations tend to suck but it was still pretty fun. But it felt like a real suction of time. I pulled an all-nighter because I was in the middle of something and didn't want to stop, so it's not something that I think would be a smart buy for me.Anarchemitis post=18.70097.681831 said:Sometimes I all of a sudden find games very uninteresting and decide to dedicate some time to learning some of my fancy programs, like

Not in America.
