    *high fives*

    I’m with you man – except for 2hrs of Wizard101 with my godson every week – and that’s to spend time with him, not play a game – I’ve been clean for nearly three months.

    I know that freedom feeling. It is nice not to feel an obligation to play the same game every night.

    The more seldom one plays the easier it is to not play when the opportunity comes up.

    Time for a “This is your brain. This is your brain on MMOs” display?

    It’s like that scene from Running Man. Any minute now Arnold Schwarzenegger will come along and reveal to us all that we’re being lied to by the evil giant entertainment corporation, and we witness the fact that you’re not actually free but instead a cobweb laden skeleton in a dusty back room behind the set.

    Hey, we’re not far off 2017.

    Congrats! I had the same feeling of freedom a while ago, and so far kept away from MMOs. I played a free week of WoW, and then resisted resubscribing.

    I have enough time now to play other games, catch up on my (much neglected) reading, and a do a ton of other things I was neglecting due not letting go of the same time(life)-consuming game for months and months.

    To clarify – I got the free week of WoW after years of playing it, then months without it. :P (I think I ended up explaining it poorly on my previous comment – sorry for the spam)

    Ha ha, you have to leave a comment to put words in my mouth that I never said, while I can just edit your comments directly to make you say that you frolic with farm animals. ;)

    If you’re going to exaggerate, why not go back to the ancient authors who believed that literacy would be the downfall of society because people would no longer memorize everything? It’s great fun to pull that out when people complain about Google and modern information literacy.

    MTV just did a True Life about video game addicted people (although both of them where FPS players, and we know ALL about THOSE people), and the overall message was you can still play 8hr+ a day and get good grades or continue a relationship with your (pushover) significant other. MTV is never wrong, so you should be ok Zubon.
