do you fly to much?
« on: September 08, 2004, 10:08:16 PM »
was thinking about how long ive been playing and, as i come to realize that i'm just now hitting my year mark, i look back on how many countless hours i've spent playing this game.

total hours aside, i can't compete with alot of guys with that. i average about 100 hours a month, but i know guys who rack up 300 hours a month, and ive heard of people racking up even more!

here's the thing, most of these guys who play have no families, work thier own schedule, or have nothing else to do.

myself! ha! typical family man i guess, 3 kids 4yrs, 2yrs, and not even a month old newborn baby girl. wow when did this happen:confused:

anyways, active duty marine work on the average of 60hrs a week (ohh yeah dont forget the wife, oopps) she'd kill me if she read that:eek:

somehow someway i still find the time to waste 100 hrs a month on this game, and from what little adding i can do, minus sleeping wich i get little of becuase ill be on here too late:rofl
 yep im spending about all of my free time playing games or at least seems like.:(

good thing is though ive met alot of new people and had some good and some bad times playing.  but i am almost starting to feel like its almost over, like im starting to reach the point of no return. watched my stats get better and better over the last couple month's, this month has been my best so far. hit % is over 8% wich shows im being more patient and waiting for the shot instead of forceing it, and my kills vrs death's is over 2.13 wich is telling me that im at least killing more of you that you are of me.:aok

funny thing is i still feel compelled every night to sit down and play, don't know what it is(video game junkie:eek: ) need a break but i know as soon as i come back i'd be chained again, mabey even worse.

thats it cancel the account! cancel road runner! and sell the computer!!!! drastic times call for drastic actions! :lol :p j/k

mabey setting just certain nights to play will help, like squad nights. doubt it but it might, think ive try it before though and it failed.

ahh a break yes a break is probably the best, anyone else experiancing anything like this? i know morph posted something like this a little while ago and i hadn't seen much of him until just recently. did it help morph? some r&r is whats needed?

I blame my friend.  I used to be heavily addicted to AWIII.  Then I stopped playing flight sims for a few years and had a life, I mean, a real life! Then we were watching Discovery Wings and saw the advertisements...  A few months later, I had a new computer...  He kept pressuring me to download the game...  I kept resisting, knowing darn well what would happen.  I told him, "you'll never see me again, you'll never see me again!" but he wouldn't listen.

And so now here I am.  Pretty much if there isn't something better to do/needed to do in real life (fishing, work, those wonderful block parties with all the nice flashing red and blue lights the kids @ CCSU throw), well if those things aren't going on, here I am.

Moral of the story?

Friends don't let friends download great games.

No idea how you guys find the time to rack up 100 plus hours in a month. Do you not work,sleep,shag,socialise? Those (not sure if still around) Pasty skin awards use to always amaze me.

Even if I did have the time I'd still get bored with the game itself after two or three hours at most.

i must average about 60-80 hours a month, which is closing on 3-4 days out of each month.

this is obviously ridiculous.

and i still have a girl friend / job / social life / active, outdoor life / drinking n' drugs life.

not sure how i cram it all in but i do somehow.

i know its bad when i get cravings worse than nicotine after 4 or 5 days not flying.

but hey, im young, im irresponsible, i have an extremely addictive personality. What did i expect???

screw it, have fun and just make sure you get at least 5 hours in the sun light each day.

4 hours sleep a night is easy to maintain after a few weeks of practice :p

its like crack DevilMac... all i do is talk about the game at work. Im in the same boat (work from 0500 to 1800 everyday). thank god that im a platoon sergeant and im exempt from weekend duty (i would have withdrawls). my wife hates the fact that play as much as i do (im on a average of only 48 hours a month). my wife is the Wife Ack brigade commander. ha ha..

Haven't flown a single hour in AH since the early builds of AH2 beta and don't miss it a bit.

I play quite a bit, but my late night runs are over. I need to catch up on sleep. I refuse to have a game dictate my state of health. Plus Im getting busy now, so I'll need more time towards work.
