And I know more than a few that have this sort of life too, where they work and play on the weekends.... or work a long time only to play on vacations or what little free time they get.

Me, I'm tired, don't have enough time to play a steady 4 hours on the game, and still haven't been on in awhile, and have plenty more work to do... (Jerks >:-( )

Of course you see me lurking the forums, but that's because I'm on the mobile surfing real quick to see what's new.

I can't wait to scratch that itch this weekend for playing mechwarrior, and I have a few things planned as well to do!

But for now....

I feel your pain dude, just joined a new unit and they have seen about as much of me as the Unit i just left! :P

Real life sucks, who wants to pay me to play MWO? Russ?

One of the joys of having a well maintained F2P game is that you never have to worry about it long term.

By all means, take a break, if / when things let up in a few months that gives you an opportunity to come back in, jump back in and enjoy all the new stuff that trickled in in your absence.

Use the forums to de-stress and help with the MWO withdrawal symptoms.

Get some rest bro.

yeah, that's XCOM, baby...

no wait, *real* real life Posted Image

Games shouldn't be seen as work but fun so take a break. You know, like everyone here has done from time to time (and some making a big drama about it every two weeks) Posted Image

I bought xcom 2 but I just don't/can't get into it.Just can't be arsed with games atm.
Funding 2 teenagers through University is kicking the arse out of me.
Word of wisdom,don't have kids.They are just a huge pain in the arse.

I'm blaming XCOM2 and lack of new light/medium mechs at the moment.

I've been going back and forth between my pile of shame and MWO, but I'm finding less and less time for MWO
Last night I got I got home and thought "I should play some games" and then had an hour nap instead.

Then you raised your kids wrong Posted Image

I would do anything neccessary for my too little girls (and wife of course) and even if they can annoy the heck out of me, they are still my kids. On the other side, they haven't hit puberty yet so maybe I think different in 10 years Posted Image

I'm talking about real life.... not the game silly, I've been busy with work that it makes me so tired that I need to rest rather than play... so I miss playing MWO ;-(

This Real Life stuff is why I will only buy premium time in the 360-day pack when it is 50% off and MC is +20% on sale. That's a year's worth for ~$50.

Otherwise the premium time is too expensive for the number of hours I get to play with it. I hate the ticker taking my time away when I am not playing... Blerg!
