I know exactly what you mean and I'm not even a Pro gamer! But I do work (somewhat) in the industry...and am surrounded by gaming for the better part of 9 hours a day at work..and then when I get home. After a while you begin to wonder if you're really playing because you want to...or because you feel your job "obligates" you.
And like you and your bf, my friends and I just got online and played TMNT Arcade game and had a blast! it's just nice to get in and play something for the fun of it
MAN! do I know how that feels Nelly!!! a part of me was so sad at my last H2 tourney, the other part of me was like OH THANK GOD now I'm addicted to H3... doh
I'm definitely feeling the addiction! I'm off tomorrow and wednsday so my husband may have to place a feeding tube in me to keep me alive for the 48 hours of halo 3 bliss I will be having!!! and hey girls if ya'll get some free time shoot me a friends request to my gt xCHICKAMUNGSx!! Its hard to find girls that's as addicted to halo 3 as I am!
