Instead now I'm here posting and talking about my SW tank!!

2 months ago I would have been playing Star Wars Galaxies (think World of Warcraft but Star Wars). Now instead, I've spent a small fortune on getting my tank all setup and running. All I can do is learn more to make sure I don't make too many mistakes. Apparently I've substituted one hobby for another!! heh

If only you could teach your fish how to play video games.

Yea.. same here only with FFXII and KH2 until we got started participating in the forum last March. Now my PS2 is dusty.

I try to blend the hobbies, my Wii is paused right now lol. Little of this little of that. Ok it's really alot of this and not so much of that these days. I certainly have more money invested in this hobby.

I can not play WoW or Galaxies. I played EverQuest on PS2 for hours on end. It was like meth with out the tooth rot and dead brain cells (atleast not as many lol). Play for 12 hours straight or something stupid like that. It's the social aspect. You meet people and so want to visit your friends and play WoW. You feel guilty cause you haven't checked in with your Guild. lol VERY addicting... like this forum except without fish stories. I want the Ring of Tank Cycling and the Cloak of Tank Enlarging.

Man, I wasted a good 3 years of my life on EQ We always called it EverCrack.

LOL, Evercrack.. I guess that's why I never played it. I figured I wouldn't stand a chance in the game against the hardcore players that lived in the game so I didn't bother to play it or any MMORPG.

Gozer_1

Ahhh Evercrack. Yes, I still occassionaly have the urge to play. Sweet sweet Evercrack. The PS2 version wasn't even that great, but I played it hours and hours and hours. I ran to every place I could find. I was an explorer lol. A regular Troll Lewis and Clark. Making me want to fire it up and pay for a month. lol

Evercrack, you can not resist the power of the dark side!

King_Snuggles

Same here. My fish tank is right next to my computer, so Eli can watch me shoot korieans (Crysis). which by the way is AMAZING. I could never convince my self to pay a monthley fee to play a game. I do play guild wars but havent in a while. (I was King Snuggles on that as well.)

Ya I've heard that about Crysis. Right now I'm playing a bit of Call of Duty 4. That is also a great game. I'm still doing the single player stuff. I'd probably suck at online right now.

Oblivion

My gamertag is ObIivion. Notice the capital "i" for an "L". I'll be glad to play with ya!

Oil_Fan

Oblivion

Ya, campaign is amazing. I'm trying to get the Veteran level achievements...I think One Shot One Kill is going to be impossible on Veteran.

ER9

haha what server? same here. i played on eclipse from 04' just recently quit and set up my first aquarium. also wasted about a year of my life between EvE , WoW and recently EQII. i was getting hooked again on eqII so i cancelled that subscription after the first month.

Oil_Fan

I play on Bloodfin. Mostly for the PVP but with all the extra content there hasn't been too much of that. And with bounty hunters not being able to track spies, I loose the biggest part of the game that I love.

I've played the game since it first came out back in 2003. In fact I was one of the beta testers for the game. I unlocked my jedi during the during the profession grind days. I then quit for a year when the hated NGE came out but then started back up a year ago. But for the last 2 months I've hardly played. I've been more interested in learning more about my SW aquarium.
