Sooners 342 Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) This has nothing to do with the clan or it's members, I am just at the point where I no longer have the time to contribute to the clan and the servers. I haven't been around for a couple months because of my new position at work and it's been hard because I discovered how addicted I was to computer games. I actually talked to a therapist about it because as I cut down from gaming time I had no fucking idea what to do with my time other than lock myself in my room and sit on my computer. I wish I could just cut down and balance work, games, and my relationship... but if I am to be honest with myself the one thing I have to drop is computer gaming.The only reason I stuck around on computer games the last 6 years is because of UV and sG. I really miss the glory days of ZM and JB back a few years ago, but I can't kid myself anymore because I know those days will never come back. There used to be a time where I looked forward to logging on the UV/sG servers and playing the game with everyone, but now that I'm becoming an old man compared to most computer gamers I think my time has passed me by as quickly as it began.I'm a married man, 26 years old, about to have my first child, there is no way I can continue doing this. It all started with the original Starcraft, then Diablo and Diablo II, then WoW up until I got sick of the constant progression with WOTLK, and finally ended with a short stint with the new CS:GO after 5 awesome years of 1.6 and the wonderful years of UV/sG CSS.Sadly, it ends now. I used to think I'd play video games my whole life, but I was dead wrong.I really cherish the years I played on UV and sG servers, I really enjoyed my time playing with everyone and hope the best for you all. I think so highly of the fact that the staff and community voted for me to be Veteran status last year, especially in a clan that has lasted as long as ours. I know this whole post seems way too sentimental and stupid to some of you, but if you grew up in the age where computer gaming got it's start then you probably understand that at our age it's hard to keep your real life and digital life balanced.I'm not looking for some sort of memorial or anything, I just hope that current gamers and members realize that eventually your real life will overtake your gaming life and that it's perfectly OK to move on from it. Deep down, I wish the best to the clan and every single member. As a saggy white-haried oldballs, there are too many members to shout out too, so as a whole, I thank all of you for the fun memories. I feel stupid saying that about an online community where personally I do not know any of you, but I really had a blast playing with everyone and will never forget this part of my life.Please forgive my novel of an exit, but to those addicted to games as much as I was, you should understand. Good luck to everybody, I hope that you are successful and happy no matter what way you take to get there.-SoonersPS.If you want to message me about a video game addiction feel free, I'll be hanging around the forums another week before I zap my gaming computer and burn it in a fire and enjoy a nice cigar and bottle of scotch over it.

Marine 2580 Posted November 17, 2012 Simple, sell your computer, then buy a Netbook with it. The Netbook will prevent you from gaming, but will allow you to keep intouch with the outside world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
