We game a lot together, sure. But this coming year four of us are moving in together while we all take courses in the same campus.<BR/>I didnt swap a life for a life, I have two lives which intertwine.<BR/><BR/>Also I will have nothing to show for it? Some people make a business out of gaming, look at Fatal1ty. Can you say the same about him? <BR/>Im not comparing myself to him whatsoever, but a lot of his life revolves around gaming.Maclorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088683693796846162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-22167558921124819212008-02-18T11:10:00.000-08:002008-02-18T11:10:00.000-08:00That's the thing Maclort.

You think you are better than the rest of us because you no longer game?<BR/><BR/>That's just ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Did you consider that we enjoy things like upgrading our armor. And if you are an ex-gamer then you should realise not all gamers worry about 'epics', believe it or not some of them want to have fun with their friends.<BR/>Everyone has their vice, mine is Gaming.<BR/>To me, I am not throwing my life away. I took the choise of enjoying myself in a virtual world rather than doing something I would enjoy less.<BR/>Surely I have the right to choose to do something which I enjoy? If we can't have that simple thing then what is the point in life!<BR/><BR/>Of course I only speak for myself and my own views.Maclorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088683693796846162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-63606440777966193402008-02-06T23:15:00.000-08:002008-02-06T23:15:00.000-08:00When it comes down to it.

When your clothes are burned and your food is rotten. It's up to you to survive. They talk about these people with dead-end jobs. Who's fault is that? They escape to a reality where it's easier to succeed, and they invest the same amount of time into that success as they could into their own lives. I just don't understand why people feel the need to get 'epic' in a game, when you could be just as 'epic' in real life. You want to be a beautiful elf? With that perfected physique or a bad ass lock with your awesome armor. Think of what you could do to your own body, your own image. I mean, people farm for hours to get an item when they could spend that time working to buy something in real life. You throw your life away for a game... That doesn't make sense to me. Why wouldn't you throw the game away for your life.Street Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270926083881009104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-74243436326077657712008-02-06T01:25:00.000-08:002008-02-06T01:25:00.000-08:00In the great words of Mariyln Manson:Hey you, what...In the great words of Mariyln Manson:<BR/><BR/>Hey you, what do you see?<BR/>Something beautiful, something free?<BR/>Hey you, are you trying to be mean?<BR/>If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean<BR/><BR/>The worms will live in every host<BR/>It's hard to pick which one they eat most<BR/><BR/>The horrible people, the horrible people<BR/>It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple<BR/>Capitalism has made it this way,<BR/>Old-fashioned fascism will take it away<BR/><BR/>There's no time to discriminate,<BR/>Hate every motherf*cker<BR/>That's in your way<BR/><BR/>The beautiful people<BR/>The beautiful peopleAlachiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912837674920744170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-48905300525263530692008-02-05T17:59:00.000-08:002008-02-05T17:59:00.000-08:00i heard you can get wristbands closer to the date ...i heard you can get wristbands closer to the date and they're only $190...but that's still too pricey for one film for me. :(Alachiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912837674920744170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-48799164991703279082008-02-05T15:06:00.000-08:002008-02-05T15:06:00.000-08:00At $350 bones this might be a wait for DVD type of...At $350 bones this might be a wait for DVD type of movie.Dalmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322649479859236211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-12320863671889187992008-02-05T13:04:00.000-08:002008-02-05T13:04:00.000-08:00Thx Alachia.Thx Alachia.Moonknighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022097355139256243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-32815298654200099692008-02-05T12:47:00.000-08:002008-02-05T12:47:00.000-08:00pricing for registration is shown herehttp://2008....pricing for registration is shown here<BR/><BR/>http://2008.sxsw.com/register_to_attend/Alachiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912837674920744170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-63114348553727962362008-02-05T12:16:00.000-08:002008-02-05T12:16:00.000-08:00Looks very interesting, and I've been excited to s...Looks very interesting, and I've been excited to see it ever since I heard about it on WoWcast and World of Warcast last spring.<BR/>I'll probably see it on DVD sometime, if they find a distributor...<BR/>Psh...you Austin folks get all the fun stuff :)Mercothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770499411569796071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-5508491252686289402008-02-05T11:54:00.000-08:002008-02-05T11:54:00.000-08:00$350?
