Well I'm not sure where to start so lets throw some ideas together...
How about a little bit of my past on the old FOG, but not a 100% topic about my time on here etc. Something about me and gaming then and me and gaming then and a mixture of assorted garbage.
Well back in October when I SINED up under the alis of SHEEPY I was desperate to get a free game somehow as as usual I had very little money. I stumbled accross this place and the rest is history as they say. Very few people know this but I actually won a game in my first week as SHEEPY (Damn newbies :D).
So in the first week I had used up all my knowledge of gaming to try and win... to be honest was very little. I came here knowing basics on consoles, companies, games etc... and managed to bluff my way through the forums pretending I knew everything under the sun... which I didn't at that time, maybe now though ;-).
Right this is not one of those thank you speeches or one of those horrible life changes thing and the forums helped through... so I wonder where its leading because I don't know myself really.
AH how about this... although I knew little about gaming I soon learned a bit but even if I was a dunce at gaming knowledge I loved to play games and helped me get through boring life. Then probably about December I had crappy prelims at school and studied so no games for me. Then January.. got girlfriend and she took up all free time so no more games again. Then February I REALLY discovered joys of alcohol and doing socialising any time I could so no games... and other crap, including computer messing up.
So in conclusion I never had the same oppurtunity to play games in past few while and really I don't mind at all... sure I play if I have a free 20 mins but really as many have said before me there losing it but still great things... its just not when I was young I'd save up money and buy a game anytime I could but now its all music, alcohol, clothes and other crap... and also in referring to the top why I don't post in Prime as its full of gaming and I don't find it appealing anymore, well to an extent.
SO emmmm Thanks :-)
I don't drink alchohol myself, seems a bit pointless. Why have fun if you wont remember it. Of course it may allow you to have fun doing incredibly stupid things that wouldn't be fun usually, like spending a night in the cells. That'll learn ye (aye right). I can understand why they leave alchohol legal since it's practically harmless (it's the consumers who are harmful, or they kill themselves by drinking too much) but why smoking? Harms yourself regardless of doses and harms those around you too. It's taxes isn't it, so why not legalise a drug that isn't harmful unless you are alergic or take too much. With doctors making sure the dose is right and no "cutting" many drugs could be much safer than cigarettes and they could still charge high tax. Just bringing it up, it's true though.
AND NO I
> have not been drinking for 2 weeks.
I find that very hard to believe ;)
