Gaming has always been something i had great passion for. I remember being a child and my parents teaching me games like Crazy 8's and various other card games, taking me and my sister over to a friends place to see the new commodore 64 and playing games such as Jump Man on that.
Playing games always had some form of fun for me. Sitting around the living room playing Winter/summer games, and seeing who was the best in the room. God that was fun!
Time goes by and I get started on RPGs on consoles and computer. Once i get started on RPGs i have a hard time playing any other type and its everything in my power to find all the good ones i can.
RPGs had something other games didn't have in great quality or quantity, plot ( multiplots much like a novel), puzzles, emotion for some of the better ones. And best of all was the end you didn't want to come to, but you worked so hard to obtained.
I was great at games like that, and many times i wished for a means to play them vs other people, and than the internet and online rpgs started to make their appearance on the scene.
The first I ever played Was Ultima Online(not the first i am sure, but i was slow to getting into the online world) It was fun and exiciting graphics sucked but it was more fun than any console game i had ever played that i had a hard time playing any console game again. I jumped from UO to Everquest( i am skipping mention of games like DIablo, starcraft etc etc).
Everquest was amazing in comparison to UO as far as Graphics went. I went back and forth between both games off and on for a few years. I knew other games existed but never got around to trying em.
Than after many years of waiting Final Fantasy XI game to North America. I picked up a copy, and started playing it with the free trial, with no serious intention of leaving EQ ( seeing as i had just finished combining 3 guilds into one decent sized guild of 500 people that worked well and got along togther). But after just 2 days of trying FFXI I left EQ, said my goodbyes.
But there is something that has always ate at me since i started playing online games. Something was missing, or perhaps I should say is missing. There is no end to these games. Nothing to look forward to except hitting the highest level you can with each job/class and having the best of everything, and every skill possible to max out maxed.
Knowing all this I still continue to play.
Why?
Damned if i know....
I suppose its like posting in this forum. You come her and talk to people, fight with people, and laugh with people. You go up and down in rank (karma). Yet in the end it doesn't mean A thing.
Why did i bother writing this thread? Not really sure myself, maybe i am looking for others who feel the same, or perhaps to get burnt by flamers. Maybe its just an attempt to get attention. Either way; I ask you to respond on your feelings on what i have to say, and let me know what you have to say.

A road with no End....why do we drive on it?Follow
Are you a chick?
Whether you're a man or woman matters not to me , but i wonder about your question.
Does your question have anything to do with this conversation, or is it that your brain can't wrestle control from your ***** ( real or strap on ) for more than 2 seconds?
If i am a chick will you rub yourself everytime you read my post, **** you probably will even if i am a guy.
Friar Reinman Lets try a new response to this thread...something with some thought.

Has your mother caught you ************ in the closet yet?
Me or it? See I would like to know how to refer to you.
If you are taking to me, my mother taught me how to **********, so there is no possiblity of being "caught".

I suck!

I understand this is the Asylum, and after reading many of the posts on here, I wonder if there is any real sense in there being more than one thread since they all seem to end up the same way.
Ok, give me a serious response , or opinion on this topic and i might decide to shed some light on my sex.
And my mother never caught me ************* I never needed to, she always made sure I was taken care of in that respect.

Ok, well, since you are starting to be a bit of a sport about all of this. I would first like to retract my earlier post, I certainly do not suck. I think I have finally learned how to swear...fuc[b][/b]k.
Having said that, if you weren't playing the game, what would you be doing? I can only **********, at best, for 4-5 hours a day. So that leaves on average about 10 hours/day, and since I only work 6 months a year, thats a lot of time to kill. What is the meaning of life? To enjoy yourself is my opinion, if you like games then playing them is certainly not a waste of time, much like this forum.
Why do people watch movies?
watch tv?
read books?
watch sports?
listen to music?
They're entertainment, and a distraction from whatever **** is going on in your life. People will argue that some forms of entertainment are more meaningful than others, or can teach you something, but really it all comes down to passing the time in the most enjoyable way possible.
edit: I think the problem with your original post was it was too wordy. You could have summed up your gaming history in one or two sentences.

Well I am not a chick....thats the answer to your previous question, and by that i mean not a baby chicken.
I suppose my thread could relate to anything in life, including life itself. No real point to it, but to live it.
Perhaps I am just reaching a crossroads in my life where I need to pick a route to follow, or continue down the path i have been on for the past few years of my life.
Always been a sport. Always will be.

This is old news! In the future, this sort of post will be better recieved in the OOT forum. This forum is for christian/muslim bashing, and some top secret stuff that they don't even tell me. Tonight was a special night, Skeeter has retained his title of Queen, and Totem has been crowned king. Anybody with less than 773 posts must pay homage to both of them, or the wrath of this forum will smite you down. Just a warning. Oh yea, they don't like as[b][/b]s kissers either.
Hmm, I don't personaly care what little monarchy you guys have going on here have to say. When and if i choose to post I will. Not like it takes much intellect to fight off the "all mighty smiting" that might come down from these "people who I owe homage to".
All they have proven is they have posted more than me. Sure some are Guru, and some are sages, but damned if that means a thing lol.
As for my sex, you'll learn that in time no doubt from things i say in my posts.
You have tried to no avail tonite to knock me down, but phantom punches really have no affect on me. Been fun talking to you, we may continue this some other time. As for me, i think i might hit the sack real soon.
So if you don't see a post on here real soon, its not from being discouraged to post, but from the need for sleep.

celinaredfern, just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? I'd bet dollars to dimes that you're in a blue collar job. I don't mean that in a insultory way, but your posts seem to carry a deep depression in them. Maybe you should try writing poetry or somthing.
Hell, what do I know. Carry on.
