I wish I could just not play video games but they make me feel like I have something to look forward to when I come home. I absolutely love World of Warcraft. I quit playing about 2 years ago but find myself wanting to play again. In the time I quit playing WoW (the common acronym) I've played warcraft 3 and diablo 2 a bit. It just seems that when I was playing these games I would look forward to something. I was very good at WoW and even sold my accounts (when I quit) for 500$. I feel proud of this even though I don't ever tell people that I know or meet IRL (that space which occurs outside of the internets, bleh). I also enjoyed playing the game, the graphics and it's social aspects. There's so much I enjoy about these games (mainly WoW but to some aspect w3 and d2). When I quit playing I picked up guitar again and found a girlfriend which is nice (they're so expensive!) and also became closer to my family. I know there are a lot of reasons to not waste time in games but they seem to give me something exciting to look forward to. One of my favorite things to do was to come home after a long day and drink coffee and pwn noobs in arena! (lol, looks so lame when I type this). Without games I feel bored and lose interest in activities (aside from working out, I forgot how sexy I am with muscles ha j/k, or am I? :P ). Sigh, I'm 26, fun, social, smart and despite never telling anyone that I play games I still love them. I honestly think sometimes that I wish I could just play games all day.

I know there are others out there who are like this. Hopefully I can get some insight or tips on what to do.
