Recently, I have had one of these "click" moments. An old friend of mine invited me to visit his new website. I did it.. and I was shocked. He was a lead singer of a successful local band. And then, my mind started a trip to good, old times. In the year 2004 I was a good guitarist. It was fascinating to create your own music. And others, were also inspired by me. One of them was Max. He often visited me. He listened to the sounds of my acoustic guitar. After that, he was very happy and he told me that he also wants to learn playing guitar. Then he bought his own guitar and learned it by himself.
And some months later I gave up playing guitar because I discovered a new hobby: computer games.
Since this event I was a pro gamer. I started with offline games such as Half-Life. Although I chose the hardest difficulty, I wasn't satisfied. I moved to online games because the enemys KI was (mostly) very high and I have had a challenge.
My favourite game was Battlefield 2 (BF 2), which I began in 2006. This year was also my first year at the university.
Why BF 2?
Because you're able to use almost everything to attack your enemy. You can use cars, air strike, ships, helicopters to fight your enemys.
Since then, I played primarily BF 2. I also played few offline games(HL 2, Painkiller..), but as I already said, I wasn't very happy playing these games because of the poor KI of the enemy.
I played BF 2 for 3 years. I totally played 747 hours.
My last Battle was 18th March 2009 at 7:28 p.m.
This will be my last battle ever. I GAVE UP PLAYING!
Yesterday I deleted all of my games (FEAR 2, Dead Space, BF 2, C&C Red Alert 3, SPORE, Mirror's Edge, Silent Hill: Homecoming) and I will sell my games on ebay.
The reason is that I compared my last 3 years with Max' last 3 years.
He learnt to perfectly play guitar and his band released their first EP.
If I continued to play and practice, today I would be a great musician.
Gaming is a waste of time!
My suggestion for you
So, if you want also to give up playing games and to spend more time with your family, friends and your studies :) then quit playing, delete ALL games on your computer and sell them!
It's very simple, but it must be a freewill!
In the next days I will give updates about my decision and its consequencies.
