FFXI touched me... innapropriately

[Tagus]

Fun read. Has noone developed psychological disorders? Depression? Acute Anxiety? Anything?

I don't really like talking on the phone anymore. In fact, I answer less than 50% of my phone calls in general and probably less than 10% if I'm actually logged in. That might qualify as some sort of anti-social disorder...

P.S. - Anyone else pissed off that they have to miss an event for Mother's Day?

final fantasy is more like general hospital/the young and the restless than a video game. i can't go into the number of hook ups, break ups, marriages, drama, illicit sex, drugs, and buckets of squid that i've been seen, heard of, been party to, and/or subjected to, in my five years of playing.

i actually got the game as a wedding present from my ex wife. my 2nd wife of course hated the game, till we both got the stomach flu at the same time and ended up playing for 3 weeks straight. after we divorced, she moved off to west virginia with some dude from her social LS.

girl i'm with now i met during promies back in '06. funny how things turn out.

Fuck, I forgot to mention how my fiance wakes me up at night telling me to shut up about XI, while I'm sleeping. >_>

This is not a one time thing, I've talked about Dynamis, land kings, and exp in my sleep.

[Thorny]

also one time i was asleep drunk on my friends floor and someone was waking me up and i yelled 'I'M AFK(pronounced the letters)' and went back to sleep, not sure how i forgot that one

I woke up once and went to put my Barone legs on IRL

I was driving somewhere unfamiliar once and kept looking down to the lower left corner of the windshield for the compass.

Couldn't you have picked something better to wear?

I got a herniated disc in my lower lumbar from sitting all day.

I then went on to get gastric bypass surgery because of that.

And now, I've suffered from depression since last summer when my LS leaders left me in charge of our Sky shell.

I've also developed a social anxiety and won't go out to eat or anything that involves socializing, but I'm not sure if that's because I always make myself sick because I eat too much too fast, or if it's fear of socializing.

[Zimbabwe Justice]

I've had that same problem, especially in WoW.

[fishstix]

I tried to autorun while driving, like I'd look for the R key.

Staying up late constantly affected me in the mornings in a bad way. I know I have to get up and drive my family around, but I stay up anyways. Once, I dozed off and rear-ended an SUV at 10am. Lately though, I closed my eyes for what seemed like a second (probably 10) and I ran a red light, 8am.

Kinda related, but twice now, I've autoran into dynamis mobs when I dozed off lol.

Lack of sleep in general led to this a few years back:

Oh, I knew someone who lived in Australia, she had been talking with her in-game bf for a year or so, visited him twice in the US. She decided to move forward with the relationship and within a month, moved to the US. I felt it was going too fast for her and told her, but it was what she wanted to do. After about a month being there, the guy decided she wasn't right for him and she ended up moving back to Australia. She had a 14yr old daughter who also played FF, and they both moved back and forth :3
