I like the real world, but I hate foreign people. Does that count?

NO! but methinks someone is raci.......

If you hate foriegn people then you should learn foreign languages so you can yell at them in their language or listen to them without them knowing it.

I learned Russian myself, yet have no way to intercept the KGB....

Wow, that sounded really bad

But ruling out the human language then, how about a new computer language? It'll cost you less money and you'll come out of it with a marketable skill.

Download a 30-day trial of a popular program and learn as much of it as you can in that timeframe. Photoshop, Flash, whatever... just give it a go.

Man, I just can't get through a game anymore. I get bored so fast...it's sad. I've tried a bunch of games recently, HL2, KOTOR2, Dungeon Siege 2, and none of them keep me interested for longer than 15 or 20 minutes. Hell, I can't even play Gran Turismo or Madden anymore without getting bored. I just get bored and don't want to play anymore. The only game I can play for like an hour or an hour and a half now is CS:S, and even that is boring b/c its impossible to find a decent server.

Help! What can I do? Recommend something please

I don't want to play a MMORPG or BF2, I'm looking for something single-player.

The Marathon Trilogy's single player is awesome, and Bungie released it as abandonware as well.

I already know Russian, maybe I'm in the KGB? Watch your back.

That reminds me - Bungie also released a couple of awesome rtt (real time tactical) games - Myth. Myth 1 and 2 i've played, 2 is superior imo. Excellent excellent games. Graphics are mediocre by today's standards, but the gameplay, wow. I suppose it's slower paced than most real time games for the most part. I could go on, check out some basic info

There's still an online mp presence too afaik but I played single player 99% of the time. The story is very cool. Dark, violent

Check this out <--- Myth 1 and 2 + an expansion pack that I didn't know about for $16.50. 50 single player missions! I'm going to buy this, oh yes.

I played Myth back in the day, when I was more into games. I remember getting pissed when people said that myth was better than starcraft.

You really want to try something challenging?

Go to your local youth sports director and volunteer to coach a soccer/basketball/baseball team.

No excuses about not knowing a sport, everything you need is online. You obviously already know how to surf the net.

Have fun!
