It doesn't have to be New Years (Resolutions)

*taps microphone* Hi, my name is TheClaw and I'm a video game junkie.

Ahem. I have recently come to suspect that I spend too much time playing the vidja games. Therefore, upon the upcoming celebration of my birth, I have resolved to spend 365 days without their influence in my life. This is mostly just a test to see if I can do it. I'll be forced to find new hobbies and maybe, God help me, venture outside. It will be a harrowing experience but with luck, I may succeed in my quest. Thank you.

So does anyone have tales of trials they have set for themselves? Any sagas in personal discipline?

Did you fail?

Did you claim ultimate victory?

Have you thought about making any major changes? Do you think resolutions are silly?

    That's like

    A lot

    I would give them up but, you know, Assassin's Creed III

    And XCOM

    Halo 4

    Personally I've always had a thing for 800x600. The classics are always the best.

    I tried quitting soda when I was in high school. I think I lasted all of fifteen minutes.

    Enough that I deemed it to be having a negative effect on my life.

    I completely gave up soda and caffeine this year. It was surprisingly easy.

    Once I found out I had type 2 diabetes I stopped immediately and never looked back.

    The only soda I've had in the pst 5 months was mixed with Jack and that was only one night.

    Same goes for caffeine.

    so I've had to give up the two things I love most in life


    coca cola and thai food

    1152x864, because smaller or larger hurts my eyes.

    Not sure what I'll do once I get an actual widescreen monitor. Guess we'll just have to find out.

    Oh also I stopped making resolutions years ago. If I want to change, I change. If I do not change, I did not want to.

    I always go with the maximum my graphics card/monitor allow.
