particularly, StarKraK.

You can run it on an Atom CPU, Dell XPS @ 12.1, highend rig, anywhere just about.

Tame the Blizzard titles = Tame the natural man.

thank you, member posters, by the way. at least I know now people still play this silly RTS game that's -nearly- impossible to master.

UPDATE:
signed a Starcraft contract, sub-dubbed, Project Pro Social Life

-terms:
(1) abandon Starcraft for life
(2) video game free for six months
-consequences, give laptop to friend to hold onto for no shorter than one month period.

-we signed it together, I got him to sign one for himself. contract mentioned cannot "indulge" - he kind of bent the rules a little bit and said he can have a little bit of DOTA, I said whatever you see it as, I'm sticking to mine as going "cold turkey."

-so far it's working! but for some reason, I'm boycotting or takin' a massive break from church activities. still hanging out more, with less church friends now, however. I'm like, if they want to hang out with me, they will meet me half way (literally).

-don't get me wrong, there've been times I wanted to call my friend and say: "I'm calling it off," forget this contract. the embarrasment and thought of no life scares me too much though. good luck, addiX and after-math successors! my heart goes out to all the students, especially the college students who feel like dropping out 'cuz of online gaming!

You can't be that addicted to video games since you're taking time to post here fire400! ;)

Yeah, I had to give away my copy of Warcraft III to quit. I was just seriously addicted to the game, every chance I had I'd play fucking DOTA. It was so much fun. *Sigh* Still having withdrawls and want the game back!!! (He's over 100 miles away though so I can't get the copy, yay...)

Anyway, to break the addiction you have to COMMIT!

I have never heard of that game before.

Starcraft. Are you really too stupid to figure that out yourself or are you being intentionally obtuse like usual?

I gave up CounterStrike by deleting it from my computer. If it is not installed, I cannot play it. I had to do the same thing with Madden, EA NBA and EA NHL a few years ago.

I apparently have an addictive personality ;)

Well, in OdiN's defense, I have heard of Starcraft but I did not get the reference from StarKraK (Shouldn't it have been Starcrack?).

Only way to clear online gaming addiction is to sell your account, delete the game off your computer, and throw away the game. Failure to do any one of those three will make it way too easy and tempting to start playing again.
