Wow, you're lucky you had a Death Knight, I never could get as high enough level to be able to obtain the Death Knight class, my highest level character is a level 38 Druid Night Elf, all my other characters were not even close to the 20s, they were like level 5s and 10s, mostly because I stopped playing them after level 5 or level 10, I mostly worked on my Night Elf Druid and that's why she's such high level. But, after I couldn't keep paying for my WoW subscription and after I didn't have a computer anymore, I stopped playing WoW all together, I even stopped playing Sims 2 and Spore, which is sad because i loved playing those games. I want to be able to get my own computer so I can start playing all those games again, except, I wouldn't get crazily and madly addicted to them, no way, that's not much of a life, lol.

it isn't much of a life. i must have been worse off. my 3 mains the warrior deathknight and hunter were 80 when i finally quit. the others were between 50 and 20. i had over 50 mounts on my warrior, dragons, griffions, cats, horses, elek, the deer looking things, a few rare ones, frostsaber, mechobird things, ram, and the motorcycle that i worked for 2 weeks getting the mats to make. making the damn thing in clay was easier. i think it took several months to get all of them, i had my warrior in almost a full set of tier 9 armor. i had this axe i made in blacksmithing. it was level 70 i had it all the way to 80 got attached to it.

i was a dedicated miner, and i mean freaking obsessive scary type of dedicated. i killed my night elf multiple times over ore, titanium was my weakness. and i got freaking pissed at anyone who took a node in front of my face.

i ran stratholm over 50 times trying to get the skeleton horse drop, i respeced my warrior more times then i can remember to try and max dps.

and somedays i would log on and run laps around the city i was in, had no idea what i wanted to do but i had to log on or i'd get panic attacks.

the very defenition of a wasted life is my 2 years of wow.

Wow, I've never played WoW for 2 years, I only played it for like a couple of months than I stopped because I didn't have a computer anymore and because I couldn't afford to pay for a continuous subscription, it just wasn't worth it.

Having to be a hard core gamer, it's not really a life, it's just doing nothing but sitting on your ass and staring at a screen wether tv or computer, it's a good thing I'd never be like that, I'd rather have a productive life than to just play video games and do nothing else, haha, it's just better to take a long break from video gaming in my opinion :D

i only consider gaming a waste if i'm trying to get someone's approval. as long as i'm doing what i want in a game the way i want to do it then it is not a waste.

but i can see how someone who's primary interests are not the computer and video games can see that it is a waste. but the way i see it is a life is what you make it in to. there is no real meaning of life because a life means something different to everyone.

but i do consider every second i spent on an mmo or 95% of all online games i have found to be a complete waste of my time. i could have been playing final fantasy or crash bandicoot, something i could do alone.

but yeah i was on there a long time not as long as some but still. i now want all mmos shut down. but this is not a perfect world unfortuntely.

Yeah, I guess to me, the meaning of life, is to get a job, learn to drive and get a license and get a car, have a wonderful serious relationship, get engaged and married, maybe have kids, live in a nice house, still have a paid job, not really allow video gaming to be more important than marriage and family and friends, but that's just me in my opinion.

I still play my video games but I don't become a hard core gamer, I give my games a break after a while of playing them because they give me a headache after a while, same with my cell phone for that matter. I'll admit, I'm on my phone more often than I am with my video games. I do have game apps on my iPhone but I barely play those anymore, like I have one game that's part of GaiaOnline called Monster Galaxy: The Zodiac Islands, I beat all the islands already, I just need to keep catching a lot of Mogas, it's kind of like Pokemon, you're basically catching Mogas with Starseeds and also training them so they become more powerful, the only difference is that you can only have 3 Mogas in your team and they only go up to level 50 and you can't teach them other attacks and they don't learn other attacks. But, there are Mogas that have different ranks, like Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, Epic, Super Rare, etc. Common Mogas are easy to catch and Tame with regular Starseeds, but other higher ranked Mogas are harder to catch with regular Starseeds, which is why they have Master Starseeds for that, and to heal up, you use coffee instead of other items.

i know nothing about gaia online, sorry but most of that went right over my head, i thought at first you were talking about moggles, moga\moggle looked the same at first glance.

to much final fantasy and kh where the moggles rip you off big time. stinkin' chain of memory moggles.

yeah my thoughts revolve around my compy, the world in my head, and my games, can't seem to focus attention on to much else. unless someone else grinds it into my head or pisses me off, then i notice things around me but not for any good reason.

one person i talked to on another forum called me a classic aspie, i guess when aspergers was first found it was thought to make people emotionless and disconnected from the world. i'm not sure but that's what i am like.

but if we all had the same goals in mind it would get boring.

Yeah, like I said before, I'm not much of a hard core gamer, if I get stuck in any kind of game, I just stop playing and give up all together, mostly because I don't want to revolve my life around video games :D I play them once in a while though but never like every day and every night, I only play them for a while until I get tired of them or until i can't beat a certain level or whatever, than I just stop playing all together. It's good to give games a break so you can do other things that may be more important.

And I don't think I agree that people with Asperger Syndrome are emotionless and disconnected from the world, we're not robots, I got tons of emotion and i'm not even disconnected from the world when it comes to my mind, I mean yeah, sometimes I wish some of my fantasies would come true but since I know that's never going to happen, I gotta stick to reality and make things in reality happen. It's good to show a lot of emotion, mostly positive, because showing too much negative emotion can cause too much stress and anxiety attacks and that's not healthy for the human body, just saying though.

But video games shouldn't be the only main thing that's important in a person's life, there should be friends, family, and maybe even a serious relationship that should be more important as well, I mean, a real life is better than a fantasy life. Which is why I don't play video games so much.

yeah but the global view of us is we are emotionless, whether it is right or wrong. i've been here long enough to know we are all different. but i am one of the more logical ones, that dwells in the fantasy world. it may not be true but the public eye stereotypes alot of things. like one of those stereotypes is people with mental conditions are idiots, i guess they don't know much about us. :)

you seem better off in the real world then i'll ever be, i get nothing but stress and rage from events in the real world. so i cut it off almost completely, i haven't managed 100% but i'm working on it.

but i find it cool to find the differences between us all, we are as varied as any nt. it sucks that we get lumped in the same category.

also i started back up with ff7, and damn i am so out of the loop with that game, it's been years since i played it start to finish there are alot of events i had forgotten about. it's almost like playing a new game. also replaying crisis core. it's amazing how much you forget even about your fav games if you haven't played them in a while.

:) Yeah, I can't even beat FF7 Crisis Core for PSP, hell, I can't even beat the original FF7 for PS1, I'm stuck no matter where I am, and again, I stop playing and give up, lol, I've still just been playing Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness, those cheat codes really do help with beating the game, as long as your Pokemon team has 999 HP, you're good to go and you can easily beat the game but yet still continue on with adventures by taking jobs and either rescuing Pokemon, Escorting Pokemon, taking items from outlaw Pokemon, or just capturing Outlaw Pokemon if they're wanted for trouble making, it's just really fun but it can get tough sometimes, I don't really enjoy going through the monster houses in certain dungeons because there's just too many enemy Pokemon and it's hard to defeat all of them, especially if your trapped in a corner and theyre all surrounding you, and I mean you and your partner in your exploration team, haha.

And yeah, I seem to be doing alright with dealing with reality and real life, it can get tough sometimes though because I tend to get into a lot of trouble with other people and I end up suffering the consequences, which I'm not really too proud of,...ugh,...

i had started a hard mode game in crisis core, got stuck at ifrit. so i started a normal difficulty game and overwrote it. i used to be alot better at this game then now, i wonder what happened.

usually if i get in trouble it was because i have a hard time lying about anything, so i will tell something to someone whether it screws me over or not.

i don't play many pokemon games, i never liked that certain pokemon are weak to certain pokemon, and you have to keep swaping them to get the upper hand. i have a tough enough time figuring what enemy is weak to what element i'm casting in an rpg. i never would have caganzoo in ff4 is weak to ice, he's a water monster in older final fantasies water and ice were more or less classified as similar. so a ice spell should have no effect on a water monster, my first guess was use fire on him, till i looked at a faq.

but i hate trying to guess what element beats another element.

Haha, wow, you sound like me when it comes to suddenly playing a game that you haven't played in like forever, when I haven't played certain games in a long time and than I start playing them again, I end up losing a lot and I always wonder what happened as well, it's like you feel like you've gotten close to beating a game, than you take a break from it for a long time, than you suddenly play it and end up losing, and it's like you wonder, "what the f**k? How come I can't beat my game now, I almost came close to beating it a long time ago, now when I suddenly just pick it up again, I end up losing, that's not right!?" I've always had that same feeling, I give my games a break after coming close to beating them, than after a long long break, I start playing them and end up losing and feeling like I can't do it anymore, like, I've suddenly gotten weaker at playing video games.

And I've gotten in trouble many times, wether it's with boyfriends, best friends, family, or even worse, the law, I guess I'm a trouble maker at times, hehe, oops.

I play a lot of Pokemon games, mostly because i was able to master them, either with cheats or without cheats, I've beaten Pokemon: Black and Pokemon: White, but the problem is collecting every single Pokemon from all seasons and, I need a second DS to do that, which I don't, so, I'm stuck with that one.

well i don't socialize in real life hardly at all, unless it's with family and a few friends. i think all of my bros friends got in trouble with the law once or twice, most of the time it was an accident. but they aren't like nasty criminals. most of them were just doing stupid stuff.

my bro tells me what's going on with them all the time, the stories are really funny.

yeah that an jumping right into hard mode was not very wise on my part. i'm doing better now. silence is annoying though.

:lol: Did you notice something, you and I are the only people on here talking back and fourth in this forum, nobody else is responding to our messages, it's just you and me going back and fourth with responding to each other's messages :P Hmm, maybe you and I should become friends since we seem to be conversing really well :)

But, yeah, I got in trouble with the law three times and ended up in the psych unit three times, the third time really made the cops snap, so, now I gotta deal with court, all three times I got in trouble with the law, was mostly because I was in a couple of bad relationships that turned me psycho against myself and my Mom, it kinda really sucks.

And, I've always had my games on easy mode, I never tried hard mode in any of them, but even if I had them on easy mode, they were still hard for me to beat because I just couldn't put in enough time and effort into them, I'd always try to rush through them instead just to get them done and over with, but, sometimes that didn't help me, I still ended up losing a lot.

I always thought a gamer is someone who plays video games. I consider myself a gamer but I am not as much as I was when I was in my teens. So I wouldn't say I am a hardcore gamer.


I have a

Sega Master System
Sega Genesis
Game Gear
Game Boy
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Nintendo 64
Virtual Boy
Xbox
PS2
PS3
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Gamecube
Wii
PSP
Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo DSiXL
Nintendo DS
Neo Geo Pocket
Dreamcast
NES Top Loader



I usually quit playing games when I get stuck or run into something too hard for me to beat and I lose interest. I don't know why I bother keeping the games when I should be trading them in or giving them to my nephews if I have no intention of playing it again from the beginning.


We have way too many game systems and we don't have all of them with us and I don't even play lot of them. I used to have a Nintendo DS Lite but I gave it to my nephew's half sister along with the accessories.

i know i was waiting for the mods to crack down on me, i always feel like i'm being watched.

i have to say i can't blame you for snapping like that, if i had the mind to lash out at people literally i have the perfect personality to back it. because throughout my life and the time i spent on the net there are a few people i'd like to... hmm i guess theres no nice way of putting this, bury my hunting knife in their skull. and i do have a hunting knife. it's a good thing i don't have the will to use it like that, i mostly cut clay with it, it's the only blade i have that i don't feel is going to break.

but yeah i have gotten mad at plenty of people but i get angry and that's about it, and then i just suppress all my emotions and try to return to my robotic state of mind. and my problems simply eat me alive for years. i'm on prozac it helps somewhat with my holy hell moods swings and meltdowns i go through because i'm to stubborn to talk about my problems. so either way whether emotions and problems are suppressed or you outwardly thrash them on someone it's not good either way. i know i've been suffering from the same problems for years, without dealing with it. as a result my state of mind has taken a huge thrashing, and probably alot of reason why i retreat into my robotic nature.

yeah i already beat crisis core a few times on normal wanted to ses if i could do hard mode out of curiousity. turns out i can't. that ifrit boss on hard is wicked.

League_Girl, you and I are similar in some ways, I've always felt like, "why bother keeping games or game systems if I don't play them anymore," which is why I got rid of my GameBoy Advanced and my GameBoy Advanced SP and my PS1 game system, I got rid of all the games for GameBoy Advanced and all the games for GameBoy Advanced SP, but, I still have my PS1 games even though I got rid of my PS1 game system, I've been playing my PS2, my PSP, and my DS Lite half the time, but I need to get rid of my PS1 games, I know they can be played on the PS2, but, still, I barely play them anymore, I gotta get rid of some of my PS2 games that I don't play anymore either. It's not worth keeping games and game systems if you don't play them anymore, in my opinion anyway.

Jetfox, yeah, my psychiatrist put me on Remeron, Lamictal, Trazodone, and this new anti-anxiety medication that I can't remember the name of it but it starts with an O, I'll admit, the first three medications I mentioned, they don't do s**t for me, I don't even know why I'm on them, the fact that the Trazodone is supposed to help me get to sleep at night, haha, BS, my brain still won't shut itself off even if I'm supposed to be in bed by 1:00 AM, the Remeron is supposed to help with depression, well, I'm not depressed, it more makes me worse even on a low dosage, I've been going to neurotherapy and the neuropsychologist says I shouldn't be on anti depressants because they'd only make me worse if I'm not depressed, he thinks I have more anxiety issues than anything else, which I can highly agree. But one thing that ticks me off is the fact that I have to go to court, apparently these idiots think I'm some sort of psycho, they don't think about the fact that I have Asperger Syndrome, lousy bastards!
