fucking chuan

>you will never be in highschool again
thanks god for that. I hated every fucking second of HS.
things seems to be only getting better after I graduated from it

To be honest I think we fucked up our reward system by abusing video games and all of those good things. Here's how It worked for me:

>Be a stupid bluepilled energetic 14 years old kid
>Discover early Internet and vidya culture
>Have the best 2 years of my life constantly getting blown away by the things I experience
>Start abusing it and don't come out of the room at all
>It all loses its charm, now life feels empty and weird
>Try to hold on to it but it only holds me down more

We must learn balance. Sup Forums, games and even porn were good when I could ONLY use them on very rare occasions. Same with food. Same with everything. Moderation really is the ultimate enjoyment booster in life. How did I ignore that for so long?

did chuan suffer from goiter?

>this fucking thread


tonights the night for me

I'm tired Sup Forums. I'm tired of being tired. I don't want to go on any more.

>you will never be genuinely excited for an e3


or anything else for that matter

I'm 26 and I don't play video games anymore. I occasionally peek in here to see if anything decent has come out, but it never does. I'm pretty much one of the people (if there is such a category of people) that got left behind after the F2P DOTA/MOBA bullshit took off. I used to like Half Life and its numerous mods back before everyone was going around saying "THE CAEK IS A LIE XD". I liked shooters and Half Life was what got me into gaming when I was a kid and I got my first dogshit Pentium 2 from my slavshit immigrant parents. I used to play in software mode and everything was pixelated and laggy because my computer didn't have a dedicated video card and couldn't handle OpenGL. I really wish I could get into gaming again because my life is really shitty and empty otherwise (no friends, no girlfriend, no other hobbies) but now, the only shooters to play are scripted CoD broshooters with generic army guys with the same bland multiplayer rehashed over and over again. The remaining games are MOBA garbage which I never enjoyed.

I guess what I'm trying to convey with this post is that I'm jaded. When I bring these things up, I'm often told that it's my nostalgia for my childhood and teen years that makes me see those games as being somehow better, but I still don't believe it. If a good classic (real classic, not FAKE classic like the new Doom that promised to be awesome and then everyone forgot it a month after it came out because it was more generic garbage) and genuine game came out today, I'd play the shit out of it. Hell, I still have Postal 2 on my computer for when I'm sad and need a laugh.

>when you were 11, it was alright to get excited about video games like this
>It is now not alright

You get to call yourself an old gamer when you grew up with Atari games or Commodore 64 crap. Being in your early to mid twenties is not old.

so he's a pedo?

all those games are trash, good riddance

high school was cool though

If you want good rehashes of old games, you're more likely to find it in indie remakes of stuff than "official" remakes. There are a lot of shitty indie games out there, but the good ones are really, really good.

most autist spergs are

Substitute some of those with better games and that's still me.

I just want to go back to being younger than 18 and not having any self awareness about my own mortality.

I still get excited about E3 but shit like EVO lost it's charm.

>just graduated highschool last year
>all my friends drifted apart
>I don't know what I want to do with my life/major in
>feel completely purposeless
I didn't love High School but at least it was simple structure what the fuck am I supposed to do now

Nigger why would you look fondly on playing WoW and fapping in high school.
I was busy banging my gf and getting drunk in high school

I was busy doing all 4 lol wtf.

I'm hoping for a TES VI reveal and more info on Death Stranding and Red Dead Redemption 2. In reality there will probably be fucking nothing like every other E3

lol what a fucking faggot

you missed out, kid

I mean I played WoW too but I'm not proud of sitting on my fat ass for 12 hours a day when I played it.
I'm more proud of my girlfriends sweet ass.

>Multiplayer games are completely filled with cancer communities now
Its not rose tinted glasses. Multiplayer communities used to have 1 or 2 toxic people but now they're all completely filled with them. The shitty little 8 year old that once screamed retarded shit over xbox live have grown up and have spread to every game other than CoD.

>You will never get your first card in Ragnarok Online again
fuck

>banging girlfriend in high school
>lol what a faggot you missed out
Never change Sup Forums

I know you came here shortly after the crash, you stupid cocksuckers.
I'll never forget how fun it was getting angry at each other and fondly remember you faggots.

>Golden age of WoW
>Golden age of D2
>Golden age of CS 1.6
>Golden age of Tribes
>Golden age of Quake 3
>Golden age of AoE 2
>Golden age of Starcraft

As shitty as my life is and the many ragrets I have, I can at least enjoy the fact I lived through and experienced those bubbles.

I don't even bother with multiplayer games anymore.
I got into ESO for a bit but stopped when I kept hearing 5 year olds screaming on the mic and my username got reported and I got banned.
Fuck online.

Fucking this.

Yeah I realized this when I went from browsing Sup Forums and playing vidya 12+ hours a day for 2 months after graduating college. Then starting my first full time job when I get to browse/vidya maybe 1-2 hours a day on week days.

You enjoy the things you like more when you have less time to enjoy them.

I don't think it has anything to do with reward systems.
I'm going to be a majority of us on here have had fucked up childhoods and we over indulge to compensate. People don't just have addiction problems for no reason.

>download and boot up cs1.6 a few months ago
>set filters to servers not empty, under 150 ping, and has players
>only 2 servers, grand total of 3 actual people playing cs1.6 in Australia

Not that old gamer, but the fact that my life sucks is making me hate everything, even playing games.

If his Girlfriend is ugly af then it's kinda the monkey paw wish is it not?

Rather fap to a hot screen than fuck a dead horse

>Kangaroo Jack

Well there's your fucking problem

This, it's easy to look back and say 'well it's better than what you've got now' but was it? It was only better because we were children, I can assure you if we were forced to re-live that shit now as adults we'd all off ourselves.

Shit man, when I was in high school wow didn't exist and I was posting on BBS.

Fuck, I'm old.

>you will never be genuinely excited for an e3

Saddest moment regarding games for me, that and the death of Valve.

I dunno bro. Highschool was pretty cash for me. Never had multiple women wanting my attention like that before and I had some friends that grew up from from elementary and middle school shit felt good man.

Only regret is that I didn't pull up my grades for sports. Alot of shit happened back then so I can't really blame myself.

This is what exactly happened to me

Videogames are gay

you missed out, nigga. Coming home from school and just waste your live away on this game was one of my best childhood memories (and I did lots of shit since my gramps was rich).
>tfw pretending to be sick just so that you could play wow for 48 hours straight
good times.

Just did all that last weekend because no kids. Haha fucker.

I liked high school and miss those times, but it's not better than what I have now
Sorry your life sucks bro

>you will never prestige for the first time in blops3 again

>you will never again play WC3 custom games all night with your friends
>you will never try out all the cool games that comes out with your buddies
>you won't have LAN parties with your friends all summer, just living the life playing vidya.

I feel like I had it weird.

My entire friend group in my high school years was a bunch of gamers/otaku.

Keep in mind my high school years were 2001-2005 so the attitude was always "git gud or get out". We played every game competitively in high school and the entire damn school played.

Every day after school we had a gaming/anime club where we would all just bring in consoles and play games like halo, smash, 3rd strike, guilty gear, etc.

You were a fucking nobody if you weren't top 3 in at least one of those games, we shared a room with the MTG and Yu-Gi-Oh players. We even had hot girls that rode the dick of the best gamers in the room.

I touched a titty because of 3rd strike man...

Those days were fucking paradise and I miss them. I still try and keep that "git gud" attitude in life and games. I only associate with two of those people and they really mellowed out. It...it makes me sad.

pic for attention I guess.
