Thanks for the invite - played WOW for nearly 3 years, currently going cold turkey as not enough time to play - tried Rift but couldnt get into it.
I miss my WOW

Hi, all! Thanks for the invite. With all the awesome games out and coming out (Battlefield 3, Call of Duty MW3, Skyrim), I think my winter's going to turn into a lot of gaming!

Right now, I'm avoiding the new games (I may have to cave on Skyrim, though, man, I want that!) so that I'm not tempted to upgrade my video card until I have enough money. Been playing Dragon Age 2 DLC's, Mount & Blade a lot lately. Some Left For Dead 2, too.

Since I've gotten healthier, I've noticed I replaced TV watching with game playing. Basically, I have no desire to sit around watching TV (NFL football excluded). But, if I've gotten a good workout in and am ready to relax some, I game. I do stay mindful of how much "sitting" I've done in a day, so I try not to game for more than an hour or two in a day, if that. Skyrim may make that policy tough to follow. :laugh:

WoW WotLK is definitely to blame for my inactivity and poor eating habits as well as the 40 lb weight gain. Mon-Thurs were raid nights so as soon as I got off work I had to get ready for the raid which meant eating something quick (and usually unhealthy) and getting into my sweatpants. The 2 hours prior to raid were for dailies. Weekends I never left the house because I had to farm herbs and ore and get all my alts their stuff to craft and put on the AH....if there was an achievement I was after then usually Friday nights were spend grinding rep or Fridays were the Pug raids that I could get my alts into. You know you play too damn much when you have 4 toons that are completely decked out in the latest epics...such a time sink.

But I have been cold turkey since January...I miss it, especially with the whole Pandaren thing coming out.

Hello all! I'm new to mfp and just found this group. As a long time gamer, I had to join.

Love playing MMOs though i'm not in one at the moment. Waiting for The Old Republic and The Secret World. I was playing Rift recently though. But man, I can't wait for Skyrim. That's probably what I'll be doing all weekend. I've made it a personal rule not to eat in my bedroom where my PC is, so that helps to cut down on the snacking while I'm playing.

Oh, but I was awful back when I played FFXI. So much snacking while playing that. I do miss playing though. Definitely has been my favorite MMO.

I actually lost weight playing Gears. My favorite game ever

I would play 6-8 hours a day!

Once I was pregnant, I didn't play as much. I was too tired :ohwell: lol

After I had Skye... "What's an xbox?" I barely had time to remember to brush my teeth lol I have no idea how single moms WORK! I only take online classes and I thought it was hard!

Now that baby Skye is 6mos.... WOOHOO!!!! :bigsmile: lol I get to play more!! All my xbl friends are like "you're back!"
...until she wakes up or decides she HAS to be held lol

My gt for xbl is peecolay
Same as my name on here. I'm currently playign Gears3 on Insane. It's insane:noway:

Skyrim is kinda F'ing up my wanting to workout. Too bad there's no xbox in 24 hr fitness. Only way I'd never leave. My laptop is to bulky and expensive to also bring. damn.

I still sit on my *kitten* and play games! Now I just do it while drinking water for every death instead of eating snacks! lol

My partner does a set of curls, pushups or lunges every time he dies. It's his personal "penalty" :laugh:

man, I dont have the patience for that. When I die I want right back into the game lol

hahahaha Same here, although that's actually not a bad idea if you can get into the habbit * Ooops i was meant to quote!
