I don't know how other people do it, but last week I had vacation. I overextended myself a tad too much by playing a whopping 60 hours of starcraft. Now this week, I can't think straight in class, can't do my homework(busy NOT doing my homework), and I can't even play starcraft correctly either. When this happens to you guys, what do you do? Right now I feel really bad like I did alot of drugs last week and now this week I didn't do any and now I'm getting this withdrawal feeling sort of....so help?
Do I play more starcraft, take a break, or try to wait this thing out?

Also, does this have anything to do with getting a new icon? I'm a corsair now instead of a dragoon

Force yourself to do your homework and concentrate in class, then when you get free time to play starcraft it will be even more fun. Like a fine dinner after you've been starving all day.
No I'm never serious.

The wierdest thing is, I can't actually force myself to do it. When I want to try to get my book to do some homework, I tend to find myself browsing through TL and Facebook lol

Welcome to my life.

You must force yourself away from TL in order to do anything.

Stay away from starcraft and sleep a lot until your mind clears up. Starcraft uses a lot of your brain energy. After a session of sc, I get so tired out. It's true that it's really hard to concentrate after playing a lot of sc.

Disconnect yourself from the internet. Eventually you should have enough self control to avoid internet browsing in theory, but in practice I can't get help it either. Disconnecting the internet always does the trick for me.

Lol Race its me Caffeine, you actually BLOGGED this? Wow lol...

Anyway try anime same effects of SC only:
1)You don't get stressed
2)Not tiring
3)Relaxing

Then you only need to find out how to stop your addiction to anime....

i dont get it

were you asking for more or less than you were being given

cuz 60 hours a week is about 8 a day which i thought was the standard practice time for a pro gamer (could be wrong?)

I had this problem and possibly played more , i accumalted over 500 games in maybe a month and half. This was due to the fact of being laid off and i hadnt played the game in over 2 years so i had a lot of time .What got me to stop playing was setting a goal (get to c-) and since i accomplish that and i am afraid to lose it so i rarely play now. So accomplish something and you will feel like u will need to play less and do what actually needs to get done first ur school work or w/e.

i remember a thread where the op told how to "save your life" or something and he gave instructions for coding your internet browser so that it can't navigate to to TL. Couldn't find it though. Will continue looking.

^ By the way. That is some severe addiction to TL.
