Re: Performing Odd Jobs For A Fee
I was just name-dropping some games since I find it truly awesome to play games nowadays as long as it's limited to max one thirty minute game á day. I actually downed wc3 some days ago and am now playing one to two games á day with Roflkopter, Farfalla and today Ibra.
Since I have so much time to spend/kill now I have time to look for jobs, work out, walk the dog and all that, hang with friends, moderate here and still kill some time with games rather than idle on irc, playing UNO with Kafuka.
I mean if people plan and/or spend their time effectively and minimize the slacking almost anyone have time to play! With the slacking I mean the 20min you waste here, 15min you waste there, etc. I know for sure that earlier I could spend 20mins not doing anything before I ate breakfast. If I instead went straight for the breakfast I had 20mins after to do something useful. Like showering ;|
I kinda gave up on WoW as it became irritatingly close to what you, and so many others predicted - it started to take a lot of my time.
Basically it was my competitive side that took the over hand. I mean, I went all PvP at first, got the gear and resi needed to seriously make children cry but at a certain stage you need to put down more than thirty - ninety minutes á day to break the 2100 rating bar, and stay there as a top player. I mean you seriously had to sit there and play, play, play, play, adjust tactics, change bindings and play, play, play, etc so I decided that since I'm not planning on going "pro", there's no use spending that much time.
Yes, I know how it sounds. Me saying that I have time leftover for games, and one paragraph down claiming not to have time for wow? You have been there, you know what I mean. I find one game of DotA more rewarding than one Heroic instance. The take about the same amount of time, but the feeling afterwards is way different. And you are finished after one round of DotA - you are however not finished after one Heroic.
By the way, I got a little angry at you claiming "Starcraft is old".

Of course it's old, but it is still, one of the most flawless RTS games in the world. Not many games can exceed it. But if you're ever feeling like you want to play some Starcraft 2, then poke either me, benelori or Roflkopt3r and we'll be up for it. I would love a good 2v2 or 1v1v1v1.
