Question to active old farts

by shepherd • 18 Aug 2011, 08:29 • Journals
I am still missing ET a lot and I've noticed that I could easily start playing again, I have a lot of free time after work and at the moment I'm using it all to senseless browsing and chichat here and there.

I guess there are a lot of old farts still playing ET and I need to know; how do you keep a balance between the game and your real life (wife/girlfriend, job, other tasks) ? Is it working? How do you handle the nag coming out of kitchen or from the couch?

Any other game can't bring me the satisfaction I got with ET and it feels like there's a empty spot that needs to be filled.

In other news, Symbian Anna is up for grabs.

I'm studying, so basically I study till 17-18h & then start playing.
Sometimes some 3v3's during the day as a break :)
then I play till 22.00 & then I go out - next day I go to college & then same thing again :)

Put a starting hour or playdays are the best way te keep balance imo.

You could rather play those few hours per evening for few days per week than watch TV.

I don't even watch TV. I just sit in front of my highend computer doing nothing but clicking favourites endlessly and chatting in _one_ forum. It's pretty boring.

New anticheat coded by chaplja, takes ingame-screens all the time, sponsored formerly by speedlink.

No lags anymore (well, some people whine it lags, but haven't heard that from any real person) and cheating has gone down (I guess, can't remember any obvious playing against us).

No linux-client though :/

I'm not talking about those ones. I'm talking about the ones with mAx and his x-ray eyes, killerboy disguised as sherlock Holmes, mama, and many others. They were quite funny.

That's me. Unfortunately every strip is completely lost as I deleted everything when I decided to quit. Sometimes I miss em' myself as well ;)
