How do you guys manage to maintain relationships and social lives as well as play games? Oh and also work in-between?


I have to limit myself to playing games I know are boring because otherwise I get so completely roped in I forget to do things like eat, sleep and speak to people.


I have been fighting off the temptation to join my friends on WoW for the last year. That and to get an Xbox 360 so I can see what Test Drive Unlimited is like online.

WoW is a bit of a life eater, I have to ban myself from MMORPGs, but the likes pf Halo 3 and Project gotham can be quite quick hit experiences.

Plus the missus has been living abroad during the week for most of the year, and gaming helps to keep me out of the pub.

I do conciously avoid the MMORPGs because I would likely get too addicted.


One thing that has kept me out of too much trouble lately is not having a decent enough PC to run the games I want properly. Otherwise I suspect I might end up single again!

There's an end in sight with Baldurs Gate, likewise Oblivion.

Some of the guys I played WoW with (I played for about 14 months, gave up almost 2 years ago) are still playing most evenings to this day.

I'd love to call them sad, but then I remember what those 14 moths were like. (great btw)

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
