How is you'r life..?
There can't be addiction to Quake if you have normal life. I though I was addicted to it, but when many things (good and bad) happened in my life, Quake was pushed away..
Of course, playing other game is hard after quake, but not impossible when you see that it bores you.
As I said once,I have quake 3 installed since 1999 and reinstalling it after every format I was playing with bots cause I did not have good connection to play online and noone was playing it on greek net cafes
ofc I played other games too
When my adsl connection installed I decided to play some q3 again online just to satisfy my old self who was keeping on saying "I have to play q3 online " .I was going to play some kind of other mmos but I totally prefered quake for the following reasons :
-Great,simply great ,unique, GAMEPLAY. No other games have so fast and addictive gameplay.I mean,even UT tries to become fast and with tricks it can not beat grenade nades,bfg shots ,rocket jumps and strafe walk of quake 3...Not even quake 4 can beat it
-Small but good community Well not too small so you can not find people to play with but not too big so you will not see familiar nicks on the server.I hope you understand what I mean.I like make fun with fellow quakers,flame some others ;P share thoughts and opinions via messengers and forum,etc...
-The fun of the game.Everytime I play some GGs I feel good in general and I also feel that it was NOT a waste of time Of course I could play less and pay more attetion to Uni but so far I try not to loose my friends and the other interests I have apart from gaming (there are lot :roll: )
What I feel .... it is hard to write here .... cos I am really pesimist (but I think I am not bad in my opinion) .
There are few ways how to say opinion ...one is about enjoy Quake .... ofc some people can enjoy it but no so many people ....
I dont think you can REALLLY enjoy something is not real ....
second way is you are not happy about your life .... but it can also change from time to time .....
and me personally, I am third one - I have no enjoy life cos I am not the person who is interesting for people don´t know me yet I think .... Yes, I can enjoy game sometimes, but not so often .... also I can´t enjoy it cos I must it other things during the game I play ..... I usually need to listen some music (in 99% Iron Maiden, cos I really love it) .... but usually I am not interesting for other people cos I dunno what to say in conversation etc ..... Yes I can find friends ..... but I feel when someone is really friend and when is someone doing only theatre for me .....
I am person (male) who is not so good looking for women ..... I know it ..... I know I am not so friendly to person who doesn´t know me ..... I do bad jokes to him/her ..... is hard to like me but I think person who know me can like me .....
So my life is shit ..... for the reason I wrote
We're straying a bit from the original topic, but I do appreciate and agree with Rena's mention of chess, people have played it for such a long time (and many other games that are similar), some games just never die
hmm.. well i live in virginia beach (ghetto) i do decent in school and have found ways of gaming extensivley and keeping grades up.. i dont do homework @ home just in 15 mins before school starts. my mom is dead and i have a 2 year old sister and 1 year old brother. i am very addicted to the computer and have done research on addcition to the computer it is just like any other addiction now. if i dont have my comp i sort of go insane and want it more. so when i have it i am happy but really i am not.. i really dont have alot of friends here the friends i do are also playing online and dont come out. my dad was on the USS CNV 65 ENTERPRISE (navy ship) (he is now on a ship whish is in dry dock so he doesnt go out except from duty days which is jsut 1 day) which sometimes went out to sea weeks at a time leaving me to watch kids i would gate off rooms which they aernt aloud in and game everyday when they were both asleep i would also game apart from my job ( which its illegal for me to work long hours/do alot of work) i watch the kids and game. i would say i am a little involved in drugs/smoking/drinking but it is hard for me to get drugs.. i dont enjoy the other then taking the pain away and its very relaxing i only drink what my dad buys. southern comfort. it is a semi decent tasting whiskey tbh i dont know why i drink it. i smoke menthol lights. what my dad buys agian.. he buys so much he cant tell if i drink some or not so what the hell.. i am trying to stay away from drugs because my downstairs neighboors are druggies and they dont have jobs and struggle to pay rent. dont have any social life and are not very fun to be around. i would probably quit playing online games Guild Wars Quake 3 Lord of the rings. if i had something else to do. but there isnt and i greatly enjoy playing them except for in quake 3 when i lose. its a weird situation. sometimes i can play alot others if i am not on top or miss reallly easy frags. i go crazy....! i may say a little cuss words but that is nothing of what i think . i think i talk so much in game to take my mind off of playing bad.

Don't want to offend you...but hey, get your ass up! I mean, it can't statisfy you to just sit in front of your PC all day for nothing than senseless gaming.
Do sport or, start collecting some freaky stuff, learn some interesting thing..do it as long as you can. When you're old your friend is still waiting for you!
Get to know some other guys. Maybe it's hard in the first place, but just be yourself and go ahead man there will be guys like you. Even better to take your PC and make some LAN party instead of sitting alone.
I'm not the one for great moral speeches but if you continue that way..you just fucking waste your life, honestly..
Good luck man,
Absti
no offense taken
