So I finally gave up Warcraft again, this time for good. I was speaking a fellow player about our playing habits. He mentioned to me how he used to be very hardcore in the game, and no only played because his fiancée played. He told me about how he failed a couple classes and lost a job to Warcraft. It really dawned me then that I didn't really want to play Warcraft anymore.

I saw what I perceived as poor performance during the last semester. Yeah, I managed to get a B in the chemistry class, but I felt I could have probably done better. Even if the game may not have really interfered, I no longer want to take that chance. I've let my account lapse. It was a good run, and I was still only halfway through the content, but I'm finished with that game.

My video game interests have moved much more over to the casual side now too. Left4Dead, an awesome game and highly recommended, is easy to pick up and set down. I still play some TF2 but not as much. I haven't given up on games completely, but I've decided to move away from something as engrossing as Warcraft.

As of today, I've been dry for 24 days. Wish me luck!
