WEll, see if ppl fight over pointless stuff others jump in to help explain er defend er argue with the ppl and mods have to get involved and give warnings and it starts being a big deal and so it makes lots of posts. It does not make as much posts for someone to say "I'm sad" and someone to say "that sucks I hope u feel better" or " I beat my game" and someone to respond "Cool" It is much more peaceful that way tho, but I think it might help stuff die out too tho, I dunno. I just started avoiding ppl I don't get along with and not joining in convos with them, and then I am not as irritated at them. But, it is a lil more boring, but I dislike fighting, tho if done light heartedly it is sometimes fun to watch.
 
Also, there is only so much u can say about games unless we all have 24/7 to game...which some of us do I guess :P (including me til I get a crappy job...ugh. I wish I could get payed to nap er game er watch cool movies er something) And unless we all have enough money to get new games constantly and new cool ones come out constantly...otherwise we have to discuss some other topics. And unless they are controversial...usually involving boring political junk, the threads will prolly still be short.

One thing I also think maybe makes stuff slow down here is that everyone is getting along. That is pleasant but arguments make people feel a need to post to clarify stuff er defend themselves etc and ppl post to pic sides er help others out etc..

I disagree. ;D
Maybe disagreements help fuel posts, but I don't think they keep a forum alive and breathing, especially a gaming forum. I am thinking that a forum like this is fueled by excitement over games and gaming and the desire to discuss it with someone of like mind. When you are young, got a lot of time to game, (and a lot of energy) even have a steady supply of new games (because you worked for money to spend only on games), then there is time to post, and you want to post. When you begin to grow up and life's responsibilities start to crowd your gaming time, then your posting also suffers. Also when you tweet, and post on Facebook, or even do texting, then you have already "talked out" everything that you wanted to say before you get to a forum like this. You are right, there is only so much you can say about games. But then, is that the way you viewed it back when you first started gaming? :)

I on the other hand, have had my family and I am on the other side of the mountain. I am gaining ground on a return to having that gaming time again that I had when I was young. I just seem to be stuck in the retro gaming fever rather than new stuff. Except I am seriously saving for a 3DS XL and it will be mine in October. I don't tweet and only do Facebook with Family. And no texting. So I have no problem showing up in a forum and discussing a game.

Not sure if I have touched on valid reasons for forums going silent or not. What say you? ::D

edit: There was a time in every gamers life when you lived and breathed games. Your thumbs even moved while you slept. :lol
 
I was horribly addicted to a forum when I was younger. So much so, that even today, I still try to reconnect with those members. But that forum has since shut down. And I still miss it. We were teens then, and it was an all-purpose forum, complete with arguments and all. You had your long time members, and then there were the newbies. I loved it. It was all types of personalities from all over the world, coming together, just talking about bullshit.


The best part was, it was busy. There were always members online that you could talk to. That's what I was hoping to find here. But now I see that it's mostly adults here that have adult lives. And they have time for gaming, and less time for gaming forums. So I take what I can get, and I'll check back in a few days to see if someone replies to my skyrim thread.


I've had a few drinks, so I apologize if that shows here.
 
How stupid would it be for me to just take out a loan and move to another state?
Lately I haven't felt motivated to do anything. Maybe I need that fear in order to do what I need to do. I kinda just want to start over somewhere else. I don't know.

I kind of want to get away from my family. They're always beating me down (until a year ago, literally) and I feel like they're really holding me back. I'd like to just be on my own. If I *had* to support myself, I'm sure I could. I have literally 2 good friends locally, I'd have 3 but John just flew to Lebanon (the country) this morning to live there. I don't really have anything here worth staying for. I just hate the city, hell even the state I live in. I want to move back to Ohio, that's where all the rest of my family is. I wish my parents had never left. That's where I want to be.
Is it really stupid to be thinking about just going back? Not like, tomorrow, but in the next year, maybe?
 
Thrav, happy late birthday for one.


and secondly, if you wanna do something that makes you happy you should always pursue it, as long as it isn't something dangerous and reckless.
 
Some things that make me feel better is completing goals er accomplishments I set for myself, or being near ppl I care about. But for me, the hardest thing comes down to forgive and forget. And that seems to be thew hardest thing at all.
Also, I have found that things that usually cheer me up don't always cheer me up...and if I relate something to something negative in my past it kinda ruins the day, so I dunno what advice to give u exactly about being happy. People say things like if u r in a relationship with someone u love then u feel happiness, if u help the poor, if u have no responsibilities, if u have God in ur life etc etc etc. But in my own life it seems to always go back to the forgive and forget and truly moving on emotionally, and that I have yet to figure out, cuz sometimes I seem to have, but then I end up back where I was again.

I know that when near ppl I love er when helping others I feel a lil better, er when I am doing physical activities that wear me out. Music and dancing help me some too. But these do not fix problems.

That was prolly way too indepth of an answer for ur question. Ur question was prolly more like"well, I just not sure which place I would rather live" er something. lol. Sorry. lol

Well, got a job at Burger King. Starting today. It's not much, but at least it is something. Guess I'm going to stay put for a while. Looking for another job to work ontop of this one, hopefully working 2 jobs won't kill me lol
 
Good job! While it may seem like a low level job, definitely make the most of it. You could either work up to manager, or maybe you can cook on the line and find out you love cooking. Just saying it's not such a dead end job as people make it out to be!
 
Yeah. But I think it would be silly to be 'satisfied' with this. Even if I ended up staying here for 20 years, I just don't see myself being happy working in fast food. I'm applying at Staples and Walmart and places like that. Hoping to get a night shift so i can work on top of this job

Oh definitely...I'm just saying you can get actually get some decent experience out of it. Staples or something like Office Depot would be great! Those places are usually pretty slow.

Thrav that is great and awesome and you should try to get a job at a local grocery store cause, at least where I live, they give benefits and insurance that could definitely help out right?
 
Wher to start?

I am a Freshman and am thinking of game designing as my carrer path. I'm not sure where to start and am open to any advice. I have applied for some beta testing, if you where to look for those, or even what highschool classes to take that would be great.
Thanks Lots :)
