This is a bit of a surprize (to the point that I wondered at first who hijacked FireWater's account) but I can see where the decision comes from. Hope things work out better.
Ya, i think iam going to quit gaming too. YEAH RIGHT, GAMING KICKS #$%KING @$$ it doesnt depress you it eases ur pain. The Matrix has you thats why you are trying to quit gaming.

Why do people feel the need to demean him for saying goodbye. Though I am unsure of how long he will last trying to stay out of gaming, (though he may truly quit...) I as yet feel no need to make fun of him. Depression is a very serious problem. On par with a lot of diseases as a cause of death. Was it something he did during his time here that angered so many?
Anyway, I hardly knew you, and my illogical nature may not have made us friends, so I can say no words that may aid you on your journey, whatever that may be. But I offer you this; Prioritize. Find what you do best in the real world and what you do worst. And learn to find a place where you make use of what you have, where you are, when you have it. I know it helped me.
Good luck.
**EDIT** Great... A bunch of matrix quotes right before I say "Real World"...

the only reason I played NS is because I was once one of the best players in the world. Gaming did nothing for me. I play guitar now and i'll probably end up playing in the Jazz band at my University, so maybe I can take that to another level and maybe become professional, probably not. With music ability, I can impress people around me, with gaming, I can impress people on the internet. Real Life is much more important than the pseudo company of someone a few hundred miles away from me. This is why i am quitting gaming, I dont even like playing the game (its not the games fault I'm just tired of having a better online life than real life), I just liked being the best at something.

Except for the "best in the world" part, because the best NS player in the world will always be someone who hasn't played NS before.
No offense to firewater, but I'm really tired of seeing these kinds of posts. It seems to me they almost do it for sympathy or attention, which makes sense to me.
Maybe we should have a gaming addiction help line o_O
BTW tho, if that is the case, good for you to coming to terms and doing something about it. I want your children.

If you don't mind, I'd like to <span style='color:orange'>*lock*</span> this now. Firewater has made his point, other forum users have made their respective points, and I'd like to let Firewater leave here in peace before the insults or condescending language become more direct. If you <i>still</i> have something -- positive or negative -- to tell Firewater after this thread is closed, you can get the same message across via PM.
[edit]FireWater, I see you're reading this thread now, so if you'd like to have any closing words, now's the time. [edit 2]I suppose that's all here for now.
