Addicted to AoM
Hello,
I have recently become addicted to the online RTS game Age of Mythology (when I want to click fast) and Age of Titans (when I actually want to think about my strat). I bought this game over a year ago but only recently have I beome addicted. I log on to ESO when I get home from school and play till 2am. When I go to sleep, I dream about spamming 10 migdols in some thor nubs face, going fast titan, 3tc booming rag, spamming tox, krushing, microing sheep, 'playing' with hermes etc. When I wake up I'm like "wtf".
Recently I discovered the site AoTSanctuary, where I have found people that also like this game. I enjoy this site and it's gosu recs but I've found it's just made me more addicted. When I should be sleeping, I find myself sitting at my PC flaming noobs and debating whether it's better to cast lure by your TC or by your first granary and then flaming some more. :( Occasionally I post some of my recs, but I don't want people stealing my gosu strats, do I? :@
Recently my school grades have fallen rapidly, I struggle staying awake in class and all I can think about is the best way to micro my pen over the paper and when the best time to cast ceasefire would be in a test. I have like no friends (well hermes is but he doesn't count).
I really know I should quit but everytime I try I find myself back on ESO, hop rushing some thor nub.
I know you probably think this is weird but is this normal? Are any of you addicted Warcraft or something? Am I really this addicted?
Seriously, you need to get a wash, a haircut, a girlfriend and a fucking life.
So it can happen to anyone. My advice is to quit. Real life is better than any game in the world! (I'm secretly looking forward to DDO but at least it'll be a while.)
Oh, and remember, no matter how much you wish you could, you don't have any special powers, you can't cast spells, and you can't avoid reality. That means - talking to people, sleeping and working (or school in your case). Good luck!
