"My final requiem"

I'm bored. That's my final statement, my leaving speech. I've had enough of the forums. Not because I don't like games, because I do. I just feel I'm growing up. Probably stupid hormones, probably my intellect evolving if you like. I've taken a new approach to things, but the fact is I've had enough of being a boring person debating boring statistics, statements and facts on an internet forum. When I first came here, the forums were a place of intellectual debate. Now they're a place of desecration, full of crap and nine year olds who find it funny to talk absolute nonsense. I've had enough. I'm sure to the few members old and wise enough to care, this might be a shame, because I'm one of the few people left on the forums who can string together a complex sentence. <-- see?

But I'm not going down without a big long rant. Oh no no no. A rant about this, a rant about that. The forums have something to say about videogames. What do they say? Well, videogames are evolving, the tides are changing. Older people are more into videogames and I can accept this fact. That doesn't mean that I'm not growing out of videogames, because I fear I am. I don't have the passion about them I used to, I just don't care anymore. Sure, I'm looking forward to Zelda and Metroid, and to a certain extent Counter Strike 2003. That's it though. I remember the 'good old days' as I liked to remember them as, when I would spend every waking moment thinking about videogames. Now, that was a waste of time, money and thought. I've had enough.

Call me callous in my youth, call me avaricious because I don't want to waste my money on games, but that's not true. Games bore me now, I'm tired of seeing the same old crap getting churned out year after year. Do you immature little people (non immature people excluded, of course) want some advice? Get a life. Videogames aren't the center of the world, and things don't revolve around them. Get some interests. Read a book. Write a book. That's what I'm doing. And you want to know what? I'm losing my interest in videogames.

Each to their own, really. I can't stand any of this Nu-metal stuff, but others love it, for instance. Fine. Other people like Will Young, but it doesn't mean I have to kill them.

To me, saying Nirvana are the best, is worse than any insult you could conjure up. Take your 'I'm proud I'm different' gribbly wannabeness elsewhere. Grrrrr.

Oww... That hurts man. I was just joking... Yes, Kamelot are extremely good, but I don't believe you have to insult me, even though I am a newbie without an anti-stick mechanism... Oh and pb? Foo Fighters... Dave Grohl is a f******* drum player! Yes, I have their album + t-shirt, but the Foo's are a little... Lame. I like what Queens of the Stone Age are doing, especially the drumer... Oh yeah, he's Dave Grohl.

No offence meant pb, and I like the foo fighters a lot.

Damn write.

Kamelot reign supreme. Better than all.

Melodic Power Metal for the people!

Damn. Why do all the good writers grow out of games? It's these forums ARE (and have been for several months now) being degrading by posts from younger, or less intelligent kids, who HAVE yet to learn the beauty of things like women, and, as you said, books. Oh and music. And playing music. And web-design. And the joy of making some useless kid feel so incredibly self perplexed that they fall into a heap of self-conscious insecurity which festers over their web interest and then soon seeps into their personal life, devoiding all hope of them getting a so-called "life".

Oh and by the way? Kamelot are not the best. Get Elastica. Or Trent Steel or The Distillers.

(PS- You knew me once Half Pint, I was Prawn Star...)

Games are more than just pass times they are the modern noble art of warfare. Pit yourself against the latest snot nosed gimp from across the pond or hair triggered mid european with too little respect for fellow humans and an inferiourity complex (no offense russia and minor states) It all adds up to hours of taunting and 0wning madness how could you possibly leave?

It was within the last year I realised that games are only games.

And there was I thinking I'd never grow up...


No need to leave the forums though.
