I've been pretty bored lately ...

As far as RL goes (lol) everything is fine - money, job, education, job prospects, uni, free time, excercise, family, hobbies etc.

But i love my computer, and i love spending time on it ahaha
Playing SC2, but only customs with friends etc, i have no real urge to be top of the ladder (lol 300 bonus points) or mass game, i just like keeping tabs and trashing my 1.9k diamond friends with terran all ins when i work out some BO they cant handle yet lol

Seriously though, nowdays im 20, and like, my time is pretty productive. I rarely waste time anymore, i'm always doing something good for me

Back when i was a kid, id spend all my time playing korean MMO's, o2jam, worms world party (proper biatch) and all sorts of crasy shit. Id be "level 2 (lol)" members of seralabs, idproject etc. (god forbid if you remember that ahahaha Aaerox i know you're on here somewhere - you guys were a million times smarter than me, and obviously r1ch would kick my ass any day)

And tbh, i loved my life back then too - i was always happy and never depressed

I really get the urge to play some timewasting game... but i know for a fact that it will be boring because i don't have any friends that would play it with me

I mean seriously, games like WoW is SO much fun when you got a close group of friends to play with - just fucking around
I use the money i make sometimes to buy random games i think i might get into - the new worms, the new L4D, SF4 haha - but really i play them for a few hours and get bored because i don't have any community or friends that i wanna play with

Tbh, even maplestory is damn fun... just that feeling of playing a wizard and spamming that home key to cast magic claw when im with like, 3 of my friends. lol.. those were the days i loved that game ahahah

I really miss casual gaming... everything is too hardcore. Its like, on the inside, i know i would only be satisfied playing MS if i was like top level and raping everyone, but i also know its equally fun just screwing around with a couple of buddies at any level
Playing SC2, dota etc. with my team is like, yeah lets be really good at this game, but tbh, the most fun i have is when we decide to fuck around on some shitty custom map like warlocks hahahaha

Even work is like that, i lost my passion for playing poker because regardless of the money.. its just boring. The most fun i had playing poker is playing live with buddies or having all of us buyin 2k for a 5c10c horse game and capping every pot lol

Bleh

Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a bunch of tlers to play something really stupid lol

I browse the sports and games stuff a lot. Minecraft was cool for a bit but the lack of goal did make me bored eventually

NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU NOW!!!

Well you say you don't have an urge to play but you apparently do. I can't think of anything I can say to stop you. Maybe chat one of your friends up about it.

I agree with you fully. Games are so much fun when you're a noob at them/casual gamer. I miss those days when you'd just load up a game and goof off with friends because you didn't know any better.
I played Maplestory for a while as well, 1.5 years or something. Played casual for about 5 months before I got super into it. Ended up doing all that 'top level' stuff you said and it was fun at first, especially organizing HT runs, but after a while I got so sick of it I just ended up quitting abruptly. Plus Nexon America sucks, so it's very discouraging waking up at 4 am to clear Anegos, get into a rush mule vs dc hacker war, and then repeat 3 times a day (this was in a smaller server mind you). The amount of hacking and abuse in that game was absurd, no point in playing. If anything it's MORE fun to just screw around with friends at any level (which I ended up doing a lot of the time with friends when we got sick of high level stuff).
So if you are indeed downloading Maplestory...stay out of high level stuff. It'll eat up your time, if that's what you want, but the low level stuff is a lot more fun.

Starcraft really made casual gaming hard for me. Once you start getting competitive into something you're just blown away at how huge the skill gap is so when I start something new I just get reminded of it.

lmao i go through the same bs faze ever so often were i just get bored of my regular games of SC2 and CSS and go back to WoW or RS for like a month T_T

the only way to beat it is to find something you like and play it for a while and sooner or later your head will snap back and you'll say WTF AM I PLAYING and go back to being normal ^_^

This was the reason I couldn't enjoy Quake Live/CS Source fully.

It's true. The experience isn't really about the game you are playing but more about the time you are having with your friends. Unless you are trying to go pro and make some money.

I played so many horrible 8 and 16 bit games growing up, but I have incredibly fond memories of them because I had friends to play with and against. If I was just playing them alone, I'd probably be like the Angry Video Game Nerd

Honestly, I'd recommend console gaming for you if you have RL friends that are close to you. PC gaming is very isolated and introverted and unless you are apart of a community you love, it's not very satisfying. Playing co-op console games with a couple of buddies on the couch in the living room just talking about anything is really where it's at if you aren't into the super competitive scene.

When I get bored with video games, I return to real life. When I get tired of real life, I return to video games.

Very true. Reminds me of this summer that I completely wasted trying to own people in Tekken 6 with all my fancy combos and whatnot instead of just crotch punching my way to victory. I still suck, though.
