Oh. N-no Withdraw, moderation in all things. If that game is keeping you alive well more power to you.
I personally have a fair to strong media addiction. I pawned a 300 dollar camera the other day so I could get some nice, crisp video games for me to play. I'm tired of Enemy Territory. E. Territory is a fully free online game 3rd person shooter. It really rocks. It is probably not as exciting as EQ might be.
But at least you are organized about your thrills. I would not call that an addiction, but w/e, I look at it as more of a need to keep you out of trouble. There are far worse things you could be doing, rite?!? Yeah, 15 smackers per month ain't bad if you like the game. I guess I let CoH go, I didn't think it was worth the 15 bux. Wasn't makin any friends. I belonged to a couple of clans but I kept quittin b/c I am an overzealous person.
I mean, I'm always looking for that game that's gonna really WAOW me to death at least for a few days. Maybe it IS an addiction, who cares. I'm too stupid to start making video games at this late in the game, maybe I'm not stupid but its alot of work to make them.
I'll look for the demo perhaps, the one for EQ you tell me about.
Those two video games I had to have were called Doom 3, I still haven't played it. And Event Horizon. I started to play Event Horizons but my graphics card or something keeps fucking up.
Basically I like story as much as I do action. That does not mean that I like RPG en full. I hate turn based stuff unless its got action. For story, I DO like damsels or anyone in distress...a city in peril. But its gotta be original and it has to be good. One of my favorite stories in a video game of all time is in the old PS1 station called Vagrant Story. I can't tell you what its about, but the game is long, the weapons melee and the characters are Out of Sight. Although there are shortcuts in this game that you can find online, there don't exist any real cheats for the game; you play or you don't. So that's what I hear about EQ and that's how CoH is. You play or you don't. You can spend cold hard, cash money to buy armor or other pieces you would otherwise find throughout the gaming arenas and all this.
Yeah, I guess I'm an addict, too. I have the old PS gaming station. I own a PS2 that does not have the cable hookstation for onlineness yet. I refuse to mod it out b/c I am an impatient fucker altogether. Something that small that requires a mag. glass and some crimpers and a solder is not really my style since it's mine and I would throw it into a wall if I broke it...thus rendering it further useless.
These days most game stations can be replaced if you know what you're doing at WalMart shops and receipts or not. It's a great store.
I want to try the newest XMens game for PS2. I hear its great for two people. I've been trying to get my partner into gaming so that I won't feel so alone around the homestead. She likes Baldur's Gate, a post D&D game for the Forgotten Realms generations. Not a bad game if you like full action and little RPG plus no turn based. It's all just kill or be killed, that's my kind of game. I don't mind the upgrades to better armor and stuff, this only adds to the playability of any character and their believability. Upgrades can add to story plots like in Vagrant Story, too. But, story plot has to be good and long and look exciting in the advertisements for me to even consider it. I can wind up hating a new game like X-Men for PS2, but its all good since they'd been around for 30 years already.
You know what I'm sayin. But yeah, 15 dollars is a good deal if you got other friends or people you have a commonality with. Maybe I'll check out EQ demo sometime. I actually tried to d/l one version of it that does not require billing.
