I have never been so into making posts and on forums and stuff until i stumbled onto the capcom unity website. I probably had the most fun for the short time i was here.

I will probably at least be around for UNITE release atiny bit but by mid july i may never play games again.

I just broke up with my ex fiance and she was an incredible woman and very patient too. but i have lagged my life in school and i am quite late in terms of education where i am at my age where as she was doing her ph.d etc.

Games didn't ruin it but rather my atitude and priority toward her. I have not been improving in school and it is not because of just games but i have played games when i should have been studying at times and i have shown this to her millions of times. this along with alot of things really burned her out, her parents disliking me, her career etc. and yet i am in my late twenties just starting college...she lost her faith in me or rather, felt that it wasn't worth waiting for me while having ulcer like symmptoms and pressure from her parents.

if i had tried hard these times it would have been a great strength and asset to her. yet i often showed stress and releieved my stress with video games in front of her often...sleeping late, waking up late, while she worked so hard every day.

i did love her and she had a hard time decideding due to these things. in no way did i ignore her or treat her bad for games...it was rather i wasn't focused on preparing for our future as FIANCE and she being late 20s like me felt she needed to move on maybe meet a new guy who would be responsible and stuff.

i hope this doesn't get locked because it sort of is related to Monster Hunter.

Everyone i know you guys are all smart and amazing people on the forums. especially moisesl u been a great friend and i will talk to u online still hopefully!

and you guys play games in moderation etc.

its not about being addicted to gaming but rather how u may look in your life when playing games while not being successful in school, job etc.

its not just games but any kind of hobby.

in my part, i was not able to control it as much thus i forced her to have faith in me for almost 2 years...while my friends moved on to next lvl of schoole education, i was idle...i cannot blame my ex fiance for leaving me.

I am selling my games which is aplenty...alot of rare games and alot of systems too especially from 1995 and up. if you are interested i could even make a list. for any of u to buy on a personal friend lvl (not trying to advertise here) i may throw in games for free.

I hope you guys don't have the same experience as I did and treat you lady or guy right. never let video games or any thing get in your way of doing things well. even if you are good at managing your time, if he/she doesn't like it (your opposite), try giving moderation andmaybe even show them u care about them more than your hobby.

throwin away engagement diamond rings, my father being sad because he really liked her as well as my mom is not fun....it wasn't just some girlfriend boyfriend thing but was planning to marry in about a year.

I will not be playing games for awhile. perhaps i will as soon as 6 months or maybe as long as the rest of my life.

my UNITE release will be my last play with you guys.

i really wanted to write this for two reasons.

1. wanted to share my life and i didn't want anyone making same mistake or similar..but im sure most of u guys are very nice people and will not make the same mistake.

2. Monster Hunter community is probably the best community i have ever seen in gaming...and i wanted to thank you so much for giving me amazing time on the forums, Riku, Moisesl especially, yuffie, canti, and all those who personally messaged me. i will still use AIM (MSN i won't be using for obvious personal reasons...)

AIM: qwest4soul

email: eladbrit@gmail.com

who knows guys i may be back in years..but maybe u guys won't be here anymore. maybe even this forum.

but for now i need to focus on improving my life so that either i get a chance to get back with her or be with another girl i won't make same mistake.

on a gaming note, UNITE....23rd I will be making a room ADHOC party world 50j. may have to look thru rooms tho/lobby and i will name the home:

happycapunity or happygamerunity how many ever text it allows but u will know.

PSN: eladbrit

i should be able to play about a week or so everyday then i gotta move to go to school with only bed, desk, sofa and bookshelf so no gaming.

again u guys were great...i will miss u guys. and i hope when i finish my goals i will be back here, but that time, as  a self cotnrolled person.

p.s.- i will visit here one more time and i decided to start a blog of photography and monster Hunter fan art and stuff. since i love monster hunter as a piece of art i decided to do something pretty neat without playing the game. stay tuned :)  i will post the site in couple days.

Wow, wall of text.

But that really sucks man, i'm sorry for you.

If i have read this right, you'll be gone but sort of also around?

Oh well...

I didn't read all of it (the topic creator's post) but from what I gathered, you have an anxiety release complex through video games.  Which it isn't a bad thing at all, just that you let the addiction get you over.  I know the feeling as I love Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  Its all I play really now.  Well I would just suggest that you regulate your time on the video game console to just in the late evenings shortly before bed.  If you put yourself on a routine or schedule then you can start to take control over things in your other hours.  Just write out a list of things you need to do or plan to do and start working on making it as much accomplished as possible.  No guarantees that you can complete everything, but if you make plans and start completing some of it, guess what, you start to complete more and more over time. 

All you need is some personal organization.  By you leaving the forum and saying you are stopping video games is a plan, but that doesn't mean you will just cut it right then and there.  Most addictions all have some sort of withdrawals and even set backs.  LOL!  Just organize your time.  Yes, its easy to see others progress in academics.  Though know this, they didn't keep their heads buried in books and internet research either.  They also had free time and recreation.  No one is just 24/7 books and academics.  No one.   You just need to take time to reassess what you are doing.  Move forward from there.  When you start to make some ground in your life, others will notice.   If your "fiance" is interested in you, she will be there.  If not, she will move on, but know this, you can move on as well.  It's not over and you learned a valuable lesson that will help you make the best of the next relationship (if that so occurs and your former fiance isn't there anymore). 

Keep your chin up and thanks for sharing your story. 

man, this sucks, you were one of the guys I was really looking forward to playing with, were both not that far in gear, and you seem like a really cool guy to get to know, but I can understand you very well on this matter, but from the other side of the argument, my ex failed and ended up dropping out of school due to her problem with videogames, it really messed her up, glad to see you catching yourself before that fall.

Anyhow, it was great to have the chance to meet you while you were still active around here, and fo sho, send me a list of your rare games, lol, I dont play many games other then MH these days, but I do collect rare ones.

I'm really sorry about what's happened HappyGamer, really.

And I even feel more bad about dong this right now, but... rules are rules:
