Why aren't you in game anymore?

Monday: Because we are coming off a weekend I have so many people that have forgotten how to use a computer I really need to blow off steam. So I stay out of game and do personal stuff.

Tuesday: The first day of the new "Weekly Strike Force" I am in game standing next to the contact hoping that someone sees that I am there and wants my current Archetype for their attempt.

Wednesday: Mid-week blow off, for 9 years I have been visiting friends and commiserating over wine.

Thursday: Another attempt at the "Weekly Strike Force" and standing around the contact.

Friday: I get off work (Feb-May) at Noon, I get something to eat, pay bills, talk with family. But around 2 PM Central, once again I am standing by the contact for the "Weekly Strike Force".

Saturday: I am in game at around 9 AM Central. This is, with exception of family things, my day to game.

Sunday: Again, since I have no dependents or responsibilities, I get into game around 9 AM Central.



There you go.


Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.

Monday: "I've got D&D."

Wednesday: "I've got Shadowrun."

Weekends: "I'm not going to tell my family 'No, I can't help you. I've got a Hamidon Raid to attend." so I might not be around.

This past Sunday: "I actually was doing something really fun on the 13th. I acted a scene for my mother's Director's Workshop and impressed her teacher with my performance! He called me a bright light in an otherwise gloomy day! "

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

Computer that runs it is down plus the wife doesn't like that I spend the $15 a month on it, but still sneak some in here and there.

Weekdays I get up at 6, work till 2, *sleep for 1-3 hours, wake up and eat dinner, spend time with the family, then get maybe 1 or 2 hours in game before I go to sleep at 10 and struggle to sleep until 6. *(If I could stay awake all day, I'd probably sleep better at night. But golly, 6 is early.)

I still play quite a bit on weekends.

My wife and a work friend have drug me off to play a recently launched 4 letter title MMO style game with them. It's ok, but I'm having trouble getting into it.

I currently have two internet choices: A horribly slow one that makes it nearly impossible to play, and very frustrating and unfun, or a faster one with very limited time. If I run out of time, I can't play at all. So.... I just can't get online as much as I used to.

-My real life outside the computer (game/online/etc) is very busy and full.
-Game got boring when everyone I normally play with left for other things and I kept running into the same old drama(s) over and over and over again.
-Found other games that I enjoy much more (when I AM online) since I'm playing alone anyway.

Moved in with my GF-my desktop is upstairs-GF doesn't climb stairs-my laptop crashes with I play. I have to beg and plead to play for a hour or two once a week when she is up, or I get a hour or two of sleep and sneak up there while she is sleeping. GF aggro ain't fun.


I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.

Would you believe I'm not in game as often anymore because I've actually developed a work ethic?

Shocking, I know. I'll wait until you can reattach your jaws...

As for me: Real Life as well.

Get up at 5 AM to go to work, get home around 5:30 PM, dinner, chores, fall asleep by 8 PM. Rinse and repeat Monday thru Friday.

Week-ends are divided not at all equally between my various hobbies: PnP RPGs, maintenance of my ginormous Comic Book collection (*), trying different flavors of Linuxes and OSSes, and CoH.

Also, I must confess that the recent changes to the game (ex. Incarnates) is acting more like a deterrent than an enticing factor to me at the moment. I don't like grinding or crafting or repeating the same content over and over and over again, so I tend to keep to myself and solo stuff whenever I'm online.

I know, I'm weird that way...

(*) I've bought in average 16 books a week for the past 25 years, and I kept a good 99% of them - you do the math.

1) Paisley, who doesn't like it when I am on the computer and finds creative and exciting ways to

  • a) poop in the computer room
  • b) run around like a maniac and chew on my toes
  • c) be amazingly cute and demand attention and give kisses

2) Playing that OTHER MMO with real life friends and enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. Wow, who would have guessed!

3) Work, work, work and more work.

4) Any time I log in, there's no one around

5) I just found my cd copy of Zeus, and am enjoying creating civilizations there all over again.

You can always catch me on FB or Twitter - or my email addy if it's important.

Nope.


That is a given.

M-F get up at 6:30, depending on traffic and weather 1-2hr drive to work so I generally make it home about 7:30-8pm, then dinner. That up at 6:30am means that I can no longer play until 1-2am.

Weekends, I gt to take care of things I couldn't during the week so that I find that I'm still not getting on until the late evening.

Two things:

1. I am looking for additional work right now, as I only have one part time job.

2. My gaming time is currently on a different MMO with my wife, as I am also trying to catch up to her in levels on that game. :P

I'm waiting for something to once again rekindle my interest... I always come back... always. :P

I am still in game, but...

I'm also writing like crazy, and often enough notice that it's like 2 in the morning by the time I'm done.

>_> only other games I'm playing are fear and hl2, shortly portal2, so ... get back to it.


Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

I'm not in-game or forum brousing as much as I did due to only having one comp that is split between work & hubby & me. I am also looking for more work... *sigh*

Saturday night around 7 p.m. CST (and going to whenever I get tired) is usually my time on for the whole week - so I hope to see/hear from all y'all then
