. . .ever felt like its time to call it quits on the video games?. . .we all like them, for different reasons, and you dont necessarily have to ever stop playing them. . .they are a hobby and entertainment medium, after all. . .

[if you wish to skip the following trash and get to the point, go down till you see a bunch of "lol" signs]

. . .i suppose this depends on who you are, but there comes a time when you eventually have to quit some hobbies/habits. . .for example, i used to play tcgs (trading card games) when in my early high school years. . .i loved the deep strategy involved in some of them, and they were really fun. . .but i put them away cuz they were becoming too expensive and starting to take too much of my time. . .as for games, its almost the same story. . .after you own may be over a hundred titles and perhaps a half dozen different consoles, i think its logical and inevitable to ask your self: could i have put this time and money to better use? am i going to far?. . .a friend of mine once pointed out in high school that w/ the money i had spent in cards i could have bought a decent(?) car to drive to school (i probably spent over $2000 USD in tcg's since i was in junior high). . .looking at the games i currently own, i probably have spent over $1200. . .there are few, less than a handful, of those games that i did not enjoy. . .but great games will keep coming, and i cant play them all (i havnt finished over half of my games). . .now factor in the time spent in playing them. . .

. . .the root of my problem w/ games is not that they are expensive (buying a game once a month, if you have a steady income and balanced budget, shouldnt cause you to go bankrupt). . .nor is it that they take too long to finish (games are a hobby, and hobby's naturally take time, and its usually spare time). . .my problem with games is that i no longer have the time to play them. . .other things are starting to take high priority in my life, and games are starting to become, in a sense, a distraction. . .im a very lazy and slow acting guy, and i prefer to play games over begining work on a semester project. . .that is always the case and im sure im not the only one here to go through that process. . .however, now in college and likely later in life, i have to change that and focus completely on my education and other important tasks, depending on what demands more immediate attention (life wasnt meant to be fun. . .fun just alliviates the stress involved in it). . .and so, although i do not think im addicted to games, i must get rid of all major distractions (games being my major source of entertainment). . .i guess you can say its just the process of growing up. . .i mean, we have to learn how to file income taxes and pay bills, right?. . .

. . .my plan is to finish fallout3, wait for ff13 and god of war 3, then sell off all my trash (whether i have finished or started a game or not), the way i did with most of the cards i used to own (the rest have been collecting dust for sometime while i find some1 to give them to or finally decide to simply throw them away. . .i seriously should hav spent that money in something else). . .

. . .lolololololololololololololololololololololololol olololololololololololololololololol. . .

. . .so, the point of all that waste of time?. . .nothing, really. . .im a spammer, but not your regular type of spammer. . .i try to post only when i have something to say that would require typing alot. . .but then again im not sure that's what you'll call a spammer. . .

. . .well, good night 2 any1 out there. . .i've got a major paper to write. . .and as usual, i waited for the night b4 to do it (i was busy playing fallout 3). . .fun times. . .
