i sit down at 2 pm, telling myself ill play for half an hour, before i start working on things that are due tomorrow.
at 2:30, i think to myself, wow, time has been passing fast, but i’m at a 7 win-11 loss ratio. i have to bring this up!
at 3, i feel this feeling of lightheadedness arise in the pit of my stomach and heart. and i like it. if i stop playing, i wont get the resolution to this feeling that i need.
by 3:30, i try to pull my hands off the controller, but i keep telling myself. one more match. one more match. my hands are sweaty, the pit growing.
i quit by 3:45, and feel the jitters surge through my body. i want more, but know i cant take it.
its now 4:10 and i still have that high stuck in the pit of my belly.
does anyone else experience a similar phenomenon? the last time i felt this way was with mvc2. i dont know if this is good or bad.
Fun, easy things with immediate reward are easier to do than boring, difficult tasks assigned to you by your boss/teacher.
There is no profound psychological issue at play here, its called “I’d rather play than be a responsible adult”. Everyone would rather play, but in the end most people buckle down and get done the shit that has to get done. Then they play.
Have a beer and do your work. Marvel’s not going anywhere.
I’ve got an analogy for you. It’s called being nice and not being an asshole. Going about something politely will get you a hell of a lot further than putting barbed wires around it and throwing it in their face. Funny thing is, that’s also a part of being a ‘responsible adult’.
Friends: Come on guys, let’s go watch some SC2 streams because we don’t like losing in games we’re not good at (FPS players…).
Me: Sounds great, but I’mma ditch since I’ve got a lot of work to take care of. Boots up MvC3 and yells at dude over mic for picking Wolverine/Sentinel/Tron
lol that is me to the fullest. idk how much BS this game has or how ppl feel bout it… i can’t stop playing it its too damn fun. its times i get mad and i wanna quit but i still end up playing it more then AE and BB…
To be quite truthful, if my friends were into the first Dawn of War like I am, I’d probably never play MvC3 again. But uh… Seeing as my micro per second is ridiculous (They don’t want to play against me) and I have no desire to pick up SC2 since it really looks like quite a boring/hand-cramping game, I’ve been pigeon holed into the MvC3 community. I won’t lie though, I really do like this game; I just hope UMvC3 removes the fact that I shit my pants every time a good Wolverine is on screen backed by two silly assist.
Wesker’s bad too, but at least I can recover ground. Wolverine just… God damnit I hate him.
Too harsh? Yeah, I don’t post on the internet alot so I guess I forget to tone things down like I’m dealing with actual people I have no rapport with. My next post will be better!
Why did you make a thread just to post this nonsense? It could have been a blog post or even posted in a existing thread like the mvc3 general discussion thread. Please think it through a bit more before making another thread. kthx.
