So I've avoided this thread because I have trouble holding back from trying to help everyone but I see a lot of people talk about their current situation like it's going to be how they live their whole life time.
You are going to go through many, many stages in life. School, stage. Work stage, Living with friends stage, living with a girl stage. You will have different amounts of freedom to game depending on the stage or combined stages you are currently in. In some of these stages you should be gaming very little if at all, but it's ok!
Once you get a stable job, place of your own and steady GF who lives with you, you will have plenty of time to game as long as you stay the fuck away from MMO's and give her a couple hours of quality time every evening before you head off to your PC. Chicks like to do boring shit like read before bed.... So you'll have plenty of time to complete you fav RPG's and compete in ESEA season after season. You just have to make sure you get your responsibilities taken care of, which is tough if you procrastinate like we all love to do.
The one thing you will NEVER get back, is the years you get to be irresponsible. Do not WASTE the teenage party years. Do not miss the college party years. Do not miss the bar/rave scene. And please.. please.. please do not miss hitting on every chick you think is even remotely hot when you're single. I know plenty of guys who held out for all kinds of stupid reasons and when we all sit back and talk conquests on UFC nights, those guys just sit around and listen and pawn over what could have been. Don't miss out just to make invite in TF2.
Now this does not mean you can't pass on some strange for a match, I've been there, done that. But you can't be doing that if you aren't already getting enough already. So you can game at a high level and party if you moderate everything.
Remember, you only live once; Just the tip baby, Just the tip.

drmtcEsDeeKayI always feel like shit except when i'm playing this game with friends/with my 6s teammates.
Get bullied on school.
Never had a girlfriend.
Note: i'm only 14. it's still fucking annoying never having had a girlfriend.
Am 5 foot 9/175 cm and weigh 156 pounds/71 kilo's
^ which is too fat. atleast imo.
I was doing really good @ school last year had good friends, had good grades..
But then we moved to another fucking city and here i'm getting bullied again and getting shit grades.
That's about it. Fml.
Work out daily 45 min a day for a month or even better, two months. After that when you see the bully literally punch him in the nose and when you get called down to see the principal say you thought the bully was going to punch you, so you acted in self defense. also say hes been bullying you for awhile and that kid will get raped by the large dick of the penal system
First of all, there's no way he's going to walk up and punch the bully once and life will fix itself. There's a good chance that bully is some kid who's been beaten by his father long before this and won't just do down to 1 punch. It'll probably just piss him off and you'll get your grill stomped. Or worse, it's a group of kids and the moment you're winning a fight with one of them, 3 others jump you. Violence should be a last resort.
Do work out and focus on being strong and confident, it will help limit the being bullied a bit, but you really just have to learn to brush shit off and people will stop messing with you. You should learn to fight though in case it does come to that, but be ready for a real battle, don't ever expect a fight to be over in 1 or 2 punches. However, they rarely last longer then 30-45 seconds because both people will be winded or one will be knocked out by then.
This is real life, not Beverly Hills 90210

MMO's aren't an issue, the issue is people who don't have any self-control or sense of priorities.
I know a guy who is 35 and married. He and his wife generally have different interests, but they still make an effort to include each other in their own hobbies. Dutifully doling out a couple of hours before you play games isn't really the right way to do it, although I guess that's what some people are okay with.
He teaches her gaming from time to time, gets her into games so he can play with her, like Diablo III, Dota 2 and Portal 2. And other times he'll go watch one of her shows with her. imo relationships work a lot better if you find somebody who either shares some of your interests or who is open to trying new things, even if it's just to spend a different kind of quality time with you. I enjoy playing games with my boyfriend and on my own, and I think it would be boring if neither of us made an effort to include each other sometimes in our hobbies.

I wanted to single this out again because the previous post didn't address you directly. I moved every 4 years of my life as a base brat, so I understand your situation more than most would. Some people adjust very quickly and I was lucky enough to be one of them. However, I've had multiple friends or acquaintances commit suicide over the years. The statistics for suicides on military bases is astronomical compared to the general populace for more reasons than just PTS in soldiers. So, just remember things will be good again just like they were before even if it takes a bit of time. My only advice is to be more outgoing. Push yourself to be twice or three times as outgoing as you are right now, even if it's tough to talk to new people. If you're going to move again in a couple years, I suggest you start going out every weekend at a minimum because it's a vicious cycle.
Good luck and party on little dude, you're life it JUST starting!

I don't disagree 100% but I believe A couple will have shared interests and that's what those "dutiful" couple of hours are for. We have shows we watch together and it's part of our quality time. Or we'll make out in front of the fire while watching a movie or laugh at pictures of our kids and make albums for family. There's a lot of stuff to do with a significant other without having to also take on their hobbies. We do talk about our own hobbies, often, but we don't force each other to participate in them.
Women and men have different interests, it's a simple fact. She has shows she watches that I don't like, and I have shows she doesn't like. We don't make each other watch those shows for good reason. My wife plays peggle and other casual games and has zero interest in playing diablo with me. But we're both ok with that. She plays soccer and I hate it, so why would I play it with her? There's nothing wrong with having separate hobbies, in fact it's healthy to have your own lives still even while being a couple.
The issue with MMO's is the long time commitment you have to give it. If you raid you have to be there and awake and listening and fighting for up to 5 hours at a time. You can't break away to give your significant other attention when you're in the middle of that. SO that's why I suggest staying away from MMO's. Because everyone I know who plays them, are divorced now.

I think you misunderstand me, or I miscommunicated what I meant. Either way, I can see that we think differently on the subject. I have to be mentally engaged with my partner to be interested. If we don't share at least a couple of interests or hobbies, I am not interested. But if that's not for you, that's not for you. I just wanted to put it out there that I think otherwise.
I know people who are in a relationship or married as well, who play MMO's, and they are doing just fine. Dota 2 takes a lot of time, for example, but is fine in moderation. The same idea can be applied to MMO's. I think blaming the genre for poor relationships is like blaming McDonald's for someone being fat.

Well I said we have shared interests, which covers the "I have to be mentally engaged with my partner to be interested. If we don't share at least a couple of interests or hobbies, I am not interested." so why would you go on to say "that's not for you" when I specifically said we did. I'm pretty sure you're misunderstanding me at this point.
All I'm saying is it's ok to have some separate hobbies, you don't have to force your significant other to be involved in every last one.
And I'm not saying you can't play MMO's and be in a couple, there's a lot of people who play it casually or just PvP. And I know people can get lost in any genre of game. But if we are to compare MMO's to restaurants, you picked a good choice.

i was basically kidnapped by police and illegally baker acted.. what basically happened was i went to my meeting with my psychiatrist and she called the cops on me and had be baker acted, she told me to go into the counselers room where i waited with the woman talking with her, she was incredibly nice i asked when i could leave and she told me to wait. two officers showed up at the door and told me i was going to the mental hospital and i have to go with them, one grabbed my arm forcefully and i naturally reacted by pulling my arm back and saying "no". the two officers immediately grabbed me and threw my head into the wall on the opposite side of the room and proceeded to try to wrestle me to the ground, when they failed, one officer pulled out his tazer and shot me in the back, i reached back while being tazed and attempted to rip the tazer out of my back when one yelled not to pull the tazer out. i then put my hands behind my back and they tazered me for a second time. while verbally abusing me and telling me to leave the fucking country because they fucking hate me. they were shouting that this is happening because i can't behave properly, i was shouting that this is what is happening in america. they threw me head into every wall on the way out of the building including the elevator all the while talking shit to me.

One time i went to go see an R rated movie with a girl when I was 16 and she was 17. we did the "buy a ticket to some pg movie" trick so that I could get in. We got into the theater but they caught on to us and kicked me out. Even though I got kicked out, she decided to watch the movie anyway.

Starting to see great results in the gym after training for so long, feels amazing.
My grades have picked up and I have a stable relationship with a girl I'm really into. I can't recall the last time I was this happy.

i have 4 projects due in the next week then exams the following week, shit sucks but Christmas break is coming up so thats something to look forward to
Also i need some advice on how not to procrastinate, at the beginning of the semester I always start out strong and get assignments done early but as the semester progresses I get less and less motivated and end up doing assignments the day/night before. I had to pull my first school related all-nighter the other week because of an assignment I had to do. And now because of my dumbass procrastinating I have 4 projects due on Friday

I'm in the same boat for procrastinating, but I'm getting better. Senior year of high school, and I've powered through Freshman-Junior and have maintained A's and B's with a good GPA. Now, I just don't give a fuck. I was most productive when my HDD failed and it took awhile to pick out a new SSD to stick with. Basically away from anything computer for awhile helped a lot. I noticed this and haven't bothered to install any game but TF2 and one or two others I occasionally play as a time killer. Video games and this competitive environment can stress you out and pull you into a server and stay there wasting away time day after day if you're not careful. I also motivate myself by comparing my grades from my best semesters to my current bad semester grades. I just tell myself "Why the fuck can't I do that again? Oh wait it's because of X... Well, I'm going to will myself to stop that and avoid it." Tends to work most of the time for me. Also, getting a goal to set each day or week really helps. You also just have to go do it. I love this saying "Nobody is going to pay you for what you could have done." Gets me doing stuff instantly.
I'm in the same boat for procrastinating, but I'm getting better. Senior year of high school, and I've powered through Freshman-Junior and have maintained A's and B's with a good GPA. Now, I just don't give a fuck. I was most productive when my HDD failed and it took awhile to pick out a new SSD to stick with. Basically away from anything computer for awhile helped a lot.
