LOL. you sincerely mean this? man you must be gangster running around with your shotgun and whatnot ;).

D3 will ruin my social life - so I really don't mind it being delayed so much..

[Don_guillotine]

If something (let's say D3) is more fun than your social life, why would it be a bad thing?

Yea, i really wanna play D3, but also fear the consequences (social, work-related, etc)... darn.. i hope i can just play it for about 30 mins to an hour a day... but, who am i kidding?..

p/s: LOL, Don_guillotine, nice picture of rabbits, where did u get it?

Sad is a subjective term. I'm interested in the stock market and investing in general, somebody might consider THAT sad. So it's all about each and one for themselves and whatever floats their boat.

PS: Raiken Errysilath, just some random wallpaper I had of unknown origin that I cropped and liberated into my signature.

PPS: If I recall correctly, I read somewhere that B.net 2.0 will have parental control options (would be logical nonetheless). Everybody knows that a true gamer is the one who's running on parental control.

Half Life and the endless world of mods that go along with it is the game that has sucked up my life the most.

Thats a nice Picture lol Now I want to uild shelves and do my games like that. Too bad id only have less than half that stack, even owining 6 of my own councles and "1/2" of 3 others with my sister lol

Point was that if somebody likes D3 more than their social life, some outgoing party animal might consider it sad, but if the guy who plays D3 himself doesn't, there shouldn't really be a problem and it's not really all that sad.

I mean maybe that guy in the picture enjoys being a 37 year old virgin!

Maybe.

Yeah. Riiiiight.

I gotta say that the Diablo series was never addicting to me. Sure after work I'd log on and do some boss runs, clear a few dungeons, and maybe duel a little. However I've never felt compelled to be a slave to the game. I expect this will be the same for me when D3 comes out.

The really thing you have to ask your self is
Would you rather play 18 hours a day for some low drop item, or get a job and have ladies touch you

When you good enough to accomplish both at the same time like me, you'll know the true dream. And I don't fish for low drops. Talkin to a high roller :P

[SFJake]

I don't know how people can be addicted in the first place.

I never was even remotely scared of being addicted to any games.

That sounds like a silly thought to me. The idea of being addicted to games just means a complete lack of control. And this is coming from a real gamer here, who wasted countless hours of his life on games. Yet, people that play games less than me get addicted more. Awkward.

[Octavius_Maximus]

People mention being addicted to games as a bad thing because its one of the newest things on the market.

Notice how if a person reads alot, they are thought of as educated or at least cultured, while if a person is a gamer, its an 'addiction'

Both people are simply experiencing a story through a medium, just the media are different. Games are newer, and thus not as 'wholesome'

Im writing a PHD Thesis on it :P
