Should I give it back?? *edited*

[zayened]

so sirplayalot, are you telling me that you ARE getting good grades and I took the pc away??? Listen to what 90% of anandtech OT is saying and get good grades, and I PROMISE you I will give your computer back then, afterwards, if i take anything just to take it, we will deal with that situation at that time.

lol he called him by his profile name, and not his real name. HA!

your form of punishment sucks zayened

 

[monzi]

I screwed up my high school Freshman and Sophmore year, due to over-use of Counter-Strike.

Do not give it back to him--if you do, limit it to one hour of cs after he is done his homework.
Watch him do his work. Also beware he may say he doesnt have HW just so he can play CS, or do trickery on you. I suggest you help him with his work, aid him, and give him help when he needs it.


I wish I had a brother like you, I do have a brother--but he was in college and couldnt help me. I used to be just like your brother. Do not let him get away with it--do not give him his computer back.

If you do give him his box back, take his VID CARD OUT, and replace it with one that cannot handle HL2/CS:Source.

Make sure he is doing work only on it.


If he ends up like I did, it will be a sad day. Computers, and Gaming has faaked my life up, royally. Im doing Engineering now, trying to rectify my mistake, I hope it not too late.


If you do give it back--watch him do it, check over his HW, or even HELP him write papers and such; Not by doing it for him, but by reading it over, giving him pointers, tips, and even give him one liners to start off one. Get his mind flowing, help him out as much as possible, without it being non-legit.

Good luck, I really hope you will be able to straighten out your brother. Counter-Strike is overly addictive, and can ruin his life, among other things.

P.S--let him know, if he gets straight B's AND KEEPS IT UP, by balancing work and play--he can have unrestricted use of the PC. BUT THE SECOUND grades start slipping, remove the privledge.

P.P.S--Your bro may not like it, but you should keep in contact with his teachers, go in for meetings, and see what you can do to help him.

Yeah hes kinda dumb...i hope he forgets my name so i dont have to hear it comming out of his mouth again...but anyway..."zayened", why only bring this matter to "ATOT" (i dont know why the hell you want me to base a brother brother situation on an internet forum) when there was a million other times that you took crap away from me? oh wait, you have my grades to use this time...explain all the other times you took my stuff away from me...i think its time to get ur fvcking head out of ur a$$ and realize how childish your being right now, its something u should have done before you dropped out of college.

Holy crap when will you guys see that its no longer about the grades? He could care less about my grades. HES JUST DOING THIS TO WATCH ME GET MAD ABOUT THE PC >=O

 

[InlineFive]

In typical ATOT fashion 4/5 of the voters wish to see your brother's punishment continue. It is sad that they have nothing better to do then wish others ill. :thumbsdown:

Did you pay for the PS2 or the PC? If you didnt, then you really have no say so what your bro does with the computer. If your parents paid for the PS2, then your bro had no right to take it away from you. The PC on the other hand was funded by your brother, so if it wasnt for him, you would never have a kick ass rig in the first place.

It sounds like you're more pissed that you can't play games anymore, than actually failing 3 of your mandatory courses.

So of the $1500 you've spent for the PC, he gave you $600 of that ??
If thats true, I don't see any right he has taking the PC away from you regardless of the grades.

 

[bluewall21]

Even if its not about the grades, get them up anyway.

 

[sirplayalot]

Im working on the grades... ...I paid for the PSTwo also...

Im glad some people are starting to realize that he has no right to take this stuff...and its not that im mad that i cant play games, because i CAN play games (friends houses and stuff). Im just mad that he infact TOOK at this stuff aawy from me just to watch me get pissed.

 

[sirplayalot]

I am here by calling this thread to be closed!! I dont want anyone else to reply to it. I think its really stupid that we are sitting here argueing over the internet...so please..no one else reply to this thread! I dont want anyone to think that i lost love for my brother because of this..i still love him very very much and there is nothing that can change that, even though i get a little mad at him (or very mad). Im just going to hope he comes to his sences and gives me my PC back.

Thanks guys!
