Howdy All.
So, As you are probably well aware (or those of you who didn't like me probably don't care enough to have noticed :P), I just got up and disappeared a while back, much the same way I did earlier in the summer. There was a lot on my mind. Getting in to University, getting a job with my local Police Department... a hell of a lot of things relating to just starting life on my own. I was conflicted between starting a new life and leaving my old one behind. As a kid I played a hell of a lot of video games. So much so that I racked up a lot of time here on Argonath as well as other games. I reached a point where I believed I would have to throw away all of that because I had to start living on my own as an adult. I have always acted a few years younger then my true age, so I had no idea how to let this life of gaming go quietly. After taking a break for a few months, I talked to some co-workers at my local PD (yay I got that job) and they told me about the things they had to do to adapt to the job as a cop, and they explained to me that they wish they had grown up with these online social networks, games etc etc, because you really need to escape the job when your not working. Mixing your work life and social life can destroy you mentally and physically.
Long story short, I came to the realization that my parents were wrong when they said I would have to give up the pleasure of being able to play video games in my spare time. We area generation that will always play games and as long as we manage our time wisely there is no harm done.
Im going to be seeing you all again in game (Which game that is I dont know, im leaning towards IVMP now that I have a PC that can run it :P)
Happy Holidays folks.
