Tut tut.

Good luck - I'm here for Maths / Physics help

[JDogg]

Well goodluck on your exams and what not. I think I should follow in your footsteps, 46% average in math is depressing.

Sort out your sig!

Ok my CoD4 rank got reset 'corrupt file' and it occurred to me that, I have spent so much of my time gaming e.t.c that I am going to end up failing my A Levels (Exams) and generally wasting a load of time So.....
I have removed CoD e.t.c from my PC for at least a few months.
I will check the forums e.t.c however and be on xfire, but no more gaming
The saddest, most life changing time ever.

The above proverb, is very true. Do not believe the "Working hard leads to success" bullshit that you are fed, hard work only leads to success when the hard work is broken down by 'chilling out'. This is why this country suffers from very high amounts of stress and why the most common 'illness' taken from work is stress.

Don't ever play WoW.

Goodluck etc, by you saying that I can't even imagine how much you play

/end

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

I highly suggest that.

Seriously, when I raided WoW approx 5 days a week I ended at around midnight, only got 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Honestly, that's devastating.

You guys are doing a more difficult school then me (And I'm doing something completely different) but I finished my exams without much effort. Imagine the easymode and I'm damn lazy.

Anyway, just wanted to share it

- Limit my gaming time

I seem to remember telling you that at the time, and you told me you wouldn't be able to control yourself and would end up gaming just as much

Make prior commitments to other things to help reduce the amount of time you play, if necessary. Since I got to uni I've been using the computer much less than in the past (yes, I'm always on msn/xfire, but that's because I leave my computer on 24/7, not because I'm on it), and the reason is because I have a social life and go out and do things with my mates on a frequent basis. Albeit, it's easier to do this when you are at uni because you live 30 seconds walk away from your friends' rooms, but you get the idea.

[Drofder2004]

and the reason is because I have a social life

I hate when people say this. This is why you should never listen to criticism from someone too many years older than yourself (i.e Parents or Grandparents).

The reason you are not at your PC more than you used to be is not to do with "now having a social life", but the fact your current social life does not revolve around your computer.

Using a PC is not a sign of no social life, but a sign of a different social life than someone who does not use their PC.

[Pedsdude]

You know what I mean. I wasn't saying that I didn't have a social life before, nor was I saying that being on the computer and conversing with other people doesn't constitute a 'social life', I simply meant having more of an external one (i.e. face to face) than in the past.

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

But people think that gamers have no life either. While I think it's bullshit.

[Pedsdude]

A lot of people don't, and that's the image most people see.

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

WoW is a good example, the very high end raiding guilds raiding 7 nights a week. Crazy.

Although some can combine it, while with other people it's just insane.

Sorry, I did forget to add, I know you didn't mean it in that way, I was just in a rant mood
