Comment Self Worth (Score 1) 218

To end ALL discussions of "game addiction" let me say this. Ones self-worth is not dictated by the gears/gold/achieves one has in game. If it is, there are other issues at hand that do not involve the game at all. If your self-worth is so low that you get divorced, then you probably should not have married her to begin with if she did not raise your self worth from "pond scum dirty dog", to King. If you your self worth is so low that you lose your job...chances are it was a crappy job, and you were not really important to the company anyhow. If you didn't feel important then you weren't. If others around you didn't make you feel important as a provider, then you weren't.

Comment Re:You can't win WoW (Score 1) 218

Seriously, who over the age of 25 has 5-10 hours a day to spend playing a video game?

Anyone without kids, and/or a wife who is cool with it. You only need to play 5-10 hours a day if you suck. If you are half ass good at video games, you can play 5-10 hours a week, and still see all end game/end patch content. A good raiding guild raids twice a week for 4 hours a night 2 days a week, and clears and/or makes progress.

You don't ever really "win" anything in life. Lottery winners go bankrupt like 33% of the time, if you went to state/college championship you still didn't win the Super Bowl, so you're a loser! In no aspect of life is there ever a clear winner. Someone somewhere is better than you at whatever you claim to be the best at. If people have fun playing why tread on them? Is it because they are not like you? Are you better than them because you choose not to play? Is you're wife better than thier's because she would be appauled if you spent 5-10 hours a week doing something you enjoyed?

Comment Re:I am an Army (Score 1) 342

I'm not sure if you are just thinking aloud, but since my distain for the army is so strong I feel obligated to answer you regardless. For starters most the weapons you see Rambo caring are pretty much physically impossible to wield. The 40 cal for instance is the biggest one he is seen holding and that is meant to be mounted as the recoil from a 80 pound weapon system could never be withstood by the human arm.

I've told one of the many sadist in the army that I joined when it was an army one, and that's why I'm not "falling in line". My guess is that it was meant to appeal to the early twenty somethings that enjoyed the idea of being self dependent. I must say I feel like one in an army theses days. So yes I think was a white lie. I also am not sure how safe America really is because if want to travel over 250 miles from my home I need 3 pieces of paperwork with 4 signatures each.

178 days and a wake up.
