[edit] Downwiz2 the Martyr
Old addicitons came back. On that faithful day when a new Nvidia GeForce 5600XT was purchased from a local game shop. The graphic card was descent enough to run some of the latest games back then such as Need For Speed Underground and Battle Field 1942. However, the intell pentium Celeron 2.4ghz and 256mb ram lagged behind frustrating Downwiz2 during his game sessions.
This graphic card purchase led to even dangerous levels of addiction, as more better looking games cold be played at faster frames per second, the author fell once more into a time of addiction.
[edit] End of Addiction ?
The author managed to move on to post-secondary education, and is currently working on a _____ Major in _______ & ________ with _________ .
The graphic card was destroyed after overheating, and the author is now left with a lowly integrated graphic card still capable of runnign Live For Speed at low fps.
The authors vows never to fall into the days of addiction once more. All games have recently been uninstalled except for Unreal Tournament adn Live For Speed, two games which the author does no play with great passion.
An alarming number of hours is spent on Live for Speed, but not in teh same manner as before. It is possibly due to the authors great love for automobiles.
