Maybe this intense craving will pass as I gorge myself on holiday food, make love to my girlfriend or play some new games with my kids. I don’t know whether I will ultimately make it back. Perhaps I need to just work on a community of Adults with lives who also want to go on an occasional game binge. Either teachers don’t game, or they have no desire to do so so cially. I have 2 court appearances next week and the holidays are upon us.Īwhile back, I tried to establish a community of teachers to play games together, but that never really amounted to much. Honestly, though, I don’t know what I’m going to do once I get it.

So, I installed Windows 10, and I’ve sp ent 3 days trying to get BnS to completely install (a process made futile by the ever present EO2014 error). Probably more, I miss Joe, Donnie, Chris, and Manjengaa. I miss Old Man Cho and visiting Yehara’s Mirage. I doubt these games are going to scratch my itch any more that FFVII or BG. In the past 3 weeks, I’ve installed DDO, Runescape, and Guildwars 2 ( the only non-WoW MMO’s that work on Mac) to my Mac, but I haven’t even set up a character yet. I have an XBox One, a Switch, A WiiU, 3 iPads, and 2 Macs.

I have a house full of commotion, family, love, and holiday decorative awesomeness. Also, no matter what, my family and my girl are going to take precedent. My “free-time” (what is that?) schedule is so sporadic that I don’t know when I will be available or for how long. Not to mention, I don’t know when I can play and when I can’t. If I came back to Blade and Soul (the game I really want to return to) today, I would have to commit a good 80 + hours of pretty hardcore solid play to try to even reach an area where I could hang out with my friends in-game. I really miss talking to them on Discord about weapons and bosses food and family and dungeons and pub crawls and arts and crafts to do with our kids. I really really miss Joe, Donnie, Chris, and Manjengaa. Gaming is like a second career if you want to play with friends, which is what I want.

It’s not that I can’t have boundaries and manage my life. I can no longer commit to being a gamer, at least not like I want to. This comic by Matthew Inman totally sums up my situation right now. Can I help it if I’m playing Rocket League with my 10-year-old and thinking of how much it looks like Soccer Pitch in Scarlet Blade? Playing these pithy little games feels like eating Oreos for dessert every night for months on end while all along I’ve been craving a chocolate mousse cheesecake. From Lego Marvel Superheroes to Rocket League, my kids play some fun games. Finally, I play games with my kids anytime I can. Third, I recently revisited 1998 by putting FFVII on my iPhone and Baldur’s Gate on my iPad. Second, I teach game design at my job and play a ton of student games made in everything from Construct 2 to Unity. First our home is like a board game wonderland. Don’t get me wrong, I play plenty of games.

So, why did I spend so much time this week going through the frustration of trying to install Windows 10 in Bootcamp in High Sierra, which is a complete PIA process, not to mention being scary as eff? I’m getting itchy… I really really want to play a game. My life is now full and awesome (at least barring all the crap with my ex). Gaming filled a serious void, gave me something to do at night when the loneliness was at its worst, and I made some great friends online, as crazy as that may sound to some. When I began seriously gaming two years ago, I rarely saw my kids, I had no girlfriend, I rented a small place in the middle of nowhere, and I essentially had no life. Tonight, I will attend a viewing, take the boys to basketball practice, and hopefully spend some time with my girlfriend. This week I worked my full-time job, attended a Pediatrician appointment for my daughter (with my ex wife), helped my girlfriend decorate the house for the holidays, attended co-parenting counseling, scheduled days off of work next week for court appearances (because my ex has too much time and money on her hands), did some engagement ring shopping, took my kids to practices, took my son to get a haircut, had my future in-laws over for dinner, and built some bad-ass Lego creations with the kiddos.
