Or I would have put a shotgun in my mouth and pulled the trigger. you don't know. Somehow something else would have helped me but who's to say that that something else would have helped me more than Mass Effect. If I didn't have something to get my mind away from it all I have no idea where I would be today. and I thank Mass Effect for that because without it for all I know I could have diverted to drugs and alcohol to deal with it, or I could have stayed depressed over the years but I didn't. I took what I had available and made the most out of it. While I was playing I didn't need to worry about "would I pass my next big test" or "how will my family and I pay the months bills" I needed to worry about "how the hell am I going to stop Saren from bringing back the reapers." Saren in my mind represented everything wrong in my life and I had to stop him, had to make fix everything. It gave me time to calm myself and take it one step at a time.Grogimus wrote...

How can you say that you know you are right? Yeah I know that Mass Effect is a game not real life. I know that in a video game you interact with people that aren't real, and yes I know that a game is nothing to become obsessed with but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't get emotionally involved in it. Some people like myself got into Mass Effect during a very depressing point in our lives. I was seriously depressed and just had no strength to deal with all the stress and pain that surrounded me. My father dying, schoolwork piling up, my family in serious finacial trouble and I needed something to help me get away from all of that and Mass Effect was that thing. It helped me clear my mind forget about the s*** hole i called my life and with it along with my counselor (who gave me the first game to help clear my head) I am no longer depressed, I kept fighting on, and graduated from college and looking to the next step in my future. So don't sit there and give me crap for caring about something that has helped me out significantly and tell me to move on because non of it mattered.Grogimus wrote...

Yeah a real adult spends all day on forums looking for ways to harass people for speaking what they believe in. Here I am thinking that people have the right to speak their mind but no if Grogimus says that we are being immature and pathetic for standing up for what we believe in then we should all keep our mouths shut and follow your every word because you are the only person grown up in this world.Grogimus wrote...

That'll do, Kenny. That'll do. He has absconded.
Ahh...absconded.....an interesting term.. Of which you have not an inkling what it means. I've blithely listened to your and others compaints about this game. It's sad you don't get it. Really....sad....wishing for a new ending is non-productive. Futile. And nothing you say will change that fact. Attackl me. Call me names. I can take it. I'm an adult. Again, grow up.
Kenny, you seem like a good lad. So I'm going to do you a favor. Pick your fights more judiciously. Despite what you may think, I'm right in this battle. Or of course I'm a narcissistic idiot spouting nonsense.
Kenny...I know all about depression. I have suffered from it myself. What if the game hadn't been available to you? The answer is...you would have found another way to deal with it. You are responsible for dealing with you depression. Not some silly game. You.
To go back to your comment yes I found responsible for dealijng with my depression but the tool that helped me was to use your words "some silly game"
