Man I need to stop playing games...


I really need to stop playing computer games. I waste too much time doing this crap. It is also one of the only reasons that I have a Widows box around.


I can remember when I didn't care about games at all and computing was much less trouble. I didn't have to worry about having a "great" graphics card.

It all started when someone turned me on to UT, then Counter-Strike, now Battlefield 1942....

I have to stop

This is getting rediculous.

it happened to me on my first, pentim 75MHz(there are 486 on 90MHz!!), 8MB RAM (upgarded to 16 couple of years later) 800MB hd (1.6GB later)...
i was mad about Doom, Duke Nukem 3D (Wolfenstein was even before those two ), Warcraft II, SimCity 2000, Larry, and later, Age of Empires and Quake...but then i lost interest...don't know why - nowadays no-one seem to remember those games anymore...i used to spend whole nights on computer...
not to mention Commodore-64
i guess it happenes to everyone, sooner or later...

I remember those games Nechos.

Seriously.....do you guys think that games, for the most part, are time wasters and are bad? I do!

I know....I know.....everything in moderation

Here's my thing about games, I have never found one that enjoy for more than a couple day's save Grand Turismo (all of them), so, I gave up.
