Dude that's wicked. Now if only you can give up the hookers T_T.
THEN we can save you some reaaaaaal cash.
i mean fo' rizzle.
Sincerely,
"WOH" Word Of Hate

I'm very impressed that you did all that. I've been playing WoW since release. It took over my life for a year or two, but at this point not so much.

Cept when new expansions roll out! :3

Keep up the great artwork, and try to get rid of that body flab ;)

This is impressive although I still laugh at the fact of what you said in your Warcraft Indian Cows? news post.

"I'm not going to post my name or server seeing as I am not going to play past the trial, but I'd love it if you'd share your thoughts and feelings about WoW."

Although I own a lot of games, I rarely have time to play them.

So it doesn't really bother me.

Financially it's not a big deal, as long as I only buy what I truly feel I utterly want.

What are you going to do with all that cash??

Beyond Good and Evil....Never played that game even though I used to have a poster of that on my wall...I really should check it out.

I don't think I'll sell eight years worth of gaming anytime soon.

If I do, all I would to is buy it all again. XD

Holy shit dude, I've just replaced what I used to spend time on with video games, I now use that time on flash and the internet. Every now and then having a break for about one game.

Glad you cleaned yourself out, better late than never.

lol what CirrusEpix said about the whole mmorpg thing is true luckly he got out of the loop (great job) i use to play runescape (go on and lol) anyhow yea i started in 7th grade and ended in 2007 dec 10th so let see that about a good 4 years of my life for a click base game lol yep mmorpg will be then end of us all
great job on get out of the loop it like trying to get off crack no lie people

I sold all my games but didn't think how much my life is worth. I had the discussion with my friends though.

Yeap, I've done that before and will do that again soon. I just turned 18 and I believe its time to grow up and move on. Im in the process of buying my first house right now and with my shitty job things like viedogames and wow and whatnot just won't fit, i'll need every penny. I'd like to stop drinking and smoking but that would be tooo hard for me now. Anyway good luck with your goals, cuz im damn sure going to accomplish mine. Keyword Sacrifice.

"3-1-08 Applied for animation job at Blizzard
3-2-08 They laughed at me... Really."

Care to elaborate?

That's great, glad to hear it. go out and accomplish what truly makes you happy. There's not enough time to waste any of it...though we can't really help it.

heh, i know how u feel man, i kinda did the same thing. i stoped playing WoW. A good choice i've gotta say but selling all of the old games and stuff, i've never though of doing that. I havn't used most of the games and stuff for years so i could get a few 100 from it lol. I hope ur art and gyming improve!

Luckily I developed a mindset that instantly turns me off at the thought of WoW. It tooks years though.

Whenever I feel like returning to WoW, I think what will I do when I get back. Then a little movie that plays in my mind of me running up to a boar, and hitting 16. No matter what feature of WoW I hear that is new and cool, that little trick stops me ever wanting to play.

But WoW did get a fair bit of my life from 2004 - 2006, but all my friends played I guess so it wasnt too much of a loss.

Lol man you make it sound like games are the ultimate waste of time, admit it, most of our lives we do pretty much useless stuff. :D
I mean nice man, giving up stuff like that and all but this just sounds like having a hobby of some kind is a crime in your eyes.

I'm in the same place right now. I've been selling all my games on ebay as well. I feel like these distractions have been holding me back from accomplishing my real goals. I've actually never dared to try out world of warcraft because I was afraid I would get addicted to it. Games like that have no end, so I tend to avoid them.

I feel as if I should clean out some of my old habits as well. This story inspired me to move on and do better things than surf the BBS.

Man, I'm glad you "cleared" your mind of sinful things! Now you can become a priest! *Looks at a sack* Not the warcraft kind of priest, you dirty old sack of potatoes!
(Joking. I'm crazy :P)

Anyway, I agree, after stopping playing WoW, I realised I wasted time on earning stupid gold. But that's life I guess...
Of course, I don't think that quitting video games was the solution. I can get it if you sold your PS2 and all other old shit you don't use any more, but if you sold all of your games, than you're crazier than me!

Conclusion: Video games = good, but for 3 hours a day, Pot and drugs = bad (and this I said because it has no relation to what you've just written. (Or does it?!) )

those were some serious moves :O! you are my hero now. altho i dont like the gym idea much, maybe because i dont find it necesary... yet :P

Don't know about 4 months, but according to Environmental Protection Agency, a human life is worth $3.7 million (or $2.3 million if you're over 70).

i can't imagine getting rid of all that stuff. it's simply incomprehensible for me. i attach memories to EVERYTHING i own, so it's unbelievably hard for me to even think of getting rid of something. coupled with that fact that i am also a very indecisive person, it's nigh impossible.

ignore the guy above me, a human life is priceless.

havent sean u in a while!!!

dont take it as an insult, but you were a geek :P

Haha, I'm so cheap I never buy anything. I would never sell my movies though, that's valuable research material!

WoW was the biggest letdown ever. I was bored to tears playing it. I have no idea how anyone could get addicted to it...

I was just going thru NG aimlessly when I stumbled on your post. For some people, videogames are a diversion and a time waster at worse but for me, videogames were like crack cocaine . I struggled with videogame addiction for a good chunk of my adolescence. I used to be so addicted to them that there were days I couldn't sleep w/o playing VG. Thank God I'm finally free (almost 1 yr and counting) and I don't ever wanna go back to that again. I hear ya and it's impressive when you stop and look at the things you have accomplished thus far w/o VGs on your way and you get that feeling of satisfaction, it's a beautiful thing.

Dude my sister lives in north carolina!

I think im adicted to maplestory...

well im addicted to maple story private servers its like so friggin addicting but i need to stop this is fucking all my life crap
