I wound up uninstalling. Pretty bummed because I love this game. I just can't strike a balance between EQ and a happy, balanced life. Maybe I'll reinstall when I get some downtime after I finish the feature documentary I'm directing. Thanks for the advice!

Good you were able to make the choice. Some people shouldn't touch alcohol - they simply lose control. I know guys who lost control over video games and played them endlessly instead of doing RL stuff.

Do what matters first - then you can actually enjoy EQ instead of feeling guilty that you're not doing what you know you should be doing.

I've always said,"If you can't handle videogames just kill yourself now and get it over with."

You are a disaster waiting to happen if you can't muster the willpower for pulling yourself away from a fucking game.

True. You cope by being a pathological liar. You're so tough, sweetpea. Off to Iraq soon?

You couldn't be more wrong. Most, if not all, current units on route to deploy are no longer going to Iraq, but Afghanistan instead.

I have a couple of friends who have been playing video games in excess for years. Every time I bring up the topic of moderation, they react very defensively and often make the claim that since I'm talking about moderation, I'm more addicted to video games than they are. I find this to be a strange claim for a couple of reasons. First of all, I play video games a lot less than they do which makes perfect sense considering that I'm honest to myself about myself and I actively seek balance in my life. What's your highest level character, Harrison? Secondly, reacting defensively and hurling accusations when someone brings up the subject of moderation automatically raises red flags. When people make lifestyle choices that contradict your own, it forces you to confront your unhealthy lifestyle choices.

In any case, Harrison, you're welcome to judge me. I place zero emphasis on your approval.

Another "Forum Freud" who doesn't care, but here's your wall of text about how much you don't care about my evaluation of your pathetic "addiction" and your inability to resist.

I especially lol'd at the "What's your highest level character, Harrison?"
