Over the past couple years in college, I have been searching for something to do as a career. I came to a decision a couple months ago and have been using my time to learn more about it and study the things I need to live productively in my future lifestyle. If you are wondering what exactly I am going to do then keep wondering. It is a secret.

In order to acheive my goals, I need to not waste any time. For the foreseeable future, I will not be playing any more video games because even though gaming has been an entertaining part of my life, I do not actually gain anything by playing most of the games I do. You could argue that each genre allows players to safely hone certain skills, I am prioritizing goals other than what the video games I play promote, so I am not going to play anymore. For the sake of an argument, I will list a few things players practice by video game genre.

Genres:

Role Playing (ex. Final Fantasy): analytics, imagination

Strategy: analytics primarily,

Fighting (ex. Street Fighter/Tekken): anaylitics, distancing, memory, timing

Shooters (Call of Duty): Twitch reflexes

The games I am listing as examples of video game genres are not comprehensive examples of those genres listed, but they are examples nonetheless. I can do other things to put those things into practice without video games.

Also, I may come to Gamespot every once in a while, but given what two places I used to frequently participate have turned into (Off-Topic and General Games Discussion), I am distancing myself from those communities. I used to enjoy conversing with many members there, but I have priorities I need to attend to and I cannot allow myself to be distracted from what is important to me anymore. We might talk sometimes, but it will not be like before unless the majority of the community changes to my interests.

That is all for now. Bye.
