"Pro-Gamer" that I was... I was into competition, so I learnt a lot of things on me and from my team during those years. I don't regret it one second... in fact it was the best years of my life.

But I remember in 1999 or so I was checking the progress on WOW and figured out it would be a kickass game. When it came out, I said to myself: don't even TOUCH that thing. I remember that people that were playing Everquest wasted their time and you don't learn much with those games. It's not based on skills, intelligence or anything.

I never touched any of those games. I even told one of my friend that I did not buy WOW due to all those reasons. One week later, he bought it and now he is addicted and don't even have a job. What a joke.

My new game is to become a millionaire by the end of 2007. That's at least as fun and you actually build on your future.
Great intent. Good luck with it. But you are right, no matter what others say, how it shapes your character and shit, I don't believe it. Seeing 14-year-olds do just as well and better than you in it proves that it really doesn't have anything to do with you mental capacity or else...

For those of you who are/were considering to get it... Juicy... or others. Don't, learn from this thread... do it for your own good.
