Am I the only one too lazy to change the disk?

That's one of the reasons I stop playing games. The discs are over there.. two meters away, on a shelf.

 

The cons outweigh the pros.

Out of context, this is outrages editing.

 

Z pls, why you think so lil of me?

Life for a gamer is a daily struggle indeed.

I even have to smack my old-arse Xbox to get the disc-tray to open. There arent enough kilojoules in Doritos for that kind of exercise.

Kids don't do drugz

 

True.

 

But I'm a grown ass man dawg. 

[N7 Tigger]

Could be worse.

 

Could be illicit activities.

 

See? Always worse stuff. Lesser Evil is more good than Super Evil.

 

Really? If you had to legally change your name to either Lesser Evil or Super Evil which would you chose?

How many of you out there have used this game to keep your mind busy during a tough time in your life? I have found that the pace of MP keeps you from dwelling on much of anything but the task at hand and as such everytime I find myself faced with a situation I am sick of thinking about I wind up right back in the lobbies. Anyone else been there?

Not really, as life has been pretty good for some time. But I can relate to what you say when it comes to "switching off". I like my job, but on some days it can feel like a continuous wave 10 London center hack and it is not always so easy to get the mind off all that afterwards. ME3MP is really, really good at immediately creating a "flow" experience that keeps my attention in a fun way. A quick couple of matches is usually enough to remove any remaining noise from a rough day. Space magic, indeed ;-).     

[Cyonan]

I've been there in the past. Played a lot of World of Warcraft and Mass Effect.

 

Having something to get your mind off things is quite invaluable during those times, and gaming was generally the best way for me to do that.

It helped me to start feeling a little normal again when I was stuck in a deep, dark emotional hole after my mother's suicide.

It may seem silly or not make sense, but it actually helped me immensely in combination with the support I was already receiving. It was the first thing to make me laugh and smile again, so for that I will always have a special place in my heart for ME3 MP.

Wow. I don´t have a proper adjective right now, but it is not silly at all and it makes perfect sense, actually :-). Thank you for sharing this !

Quick look at OP's screen name and I thought Ghostknife had returned   He didnt.

[Shadohz]

Hrrmm... yeah I use ME3MP as an OP crutch kit.

[d_nought]

Usually for relaxation I just play casual games like Dark Souls or Counter Strike. Mass Effect and Call of Duty are too hard for me and if I play them too much make me mad at life.

[millahnna]

I have some pretty bad social anxiety and work in cash register jobs which I'd a hilarious combination. So yes, yes it has.

Also came in handy when I had surgery and several months of downtime after (who losses their appendix in their late thirties, Grrr).

Deepest sympathies. A somewhat similar situation is what brought me back last summer. When my mom passed away i just didnt want to think about it during the quiet times when the wife and kids were asleep and all the funeral planning and what not wasnt going on i picked this game back up because the pace and comaraderie just sort of really helped me switch off and instead of drowning in my thoughts i was thinking about helping my "squad" and as luck would have it I played with some of the best teams I had ever encountered. It all helped so much.

[squaredgonzo]

True.

we need to keep this topic PG13! 

[RavenousBear]

Without any friends or a social life for several years games fill up my free time.

Why does he keep leaving? You think he would get nervous when we mentioned his wife deleted his account because it was true? "Honey, why are there pictures of you in your underwear on this site!? Why are you wearing my dresses? Who is this Vicky you keep hitting on?"

[Clips7]

To some degree...sometimes i'am up late trying to finish a final exam which for the most part always involves it being some form of math :pinch:...but afterwards, i will play this game for a nice 20-30 min romp to relieve some stress....

[RogueState]

I do this frequently. Whenever I'm in a foul mood I'll play some ME3 MP to calm me down, it really helps. I've recently quit my job and finish my notice period on Friday so I'll be a slacker from next week. I expect my N7 and challenge points to rise quite a lot over the coming weeks! 

[Dovakiin_N7]

It saved me for boredom and real life people annoying people.  At times work stress.

Time You Enjoy Wasting is Not Wasted Time

[Ashevajak]

All the time.  My previous job used to be somewhat stressful, which made MP a good release from having to think about that too much.  And now I'm back in education, I like to take breaks from my papers and research projects and mull things over while playing a match or two.

Time You Enjoy Wasting is Not Wasted Time

 

I gave a flippant reply earlier in this thread, but this is a serious point.  I have Crohn's Disease and arthritis which caused me to pack in my full-time job 10 years ago, and while I would rather be actively contributing to society, the fact is most of the time I have to content myself with the knowledge that if I'm not fit to do that I might as well be enjoying myself in the meantime.  Guilt is a religious concept which I reject utterly.  On an objective level I can think of no greater "waste of time" than taking my Triumph for a high speed ride on twisty Irish roads I've ridden hundreds of times, but I can also say, subjectively, that there is nothing in this life that gives me more pleasure.  Mass Effect helps fill the void when I can't be doing what I'd really like to be doing, and it fills that void very well.

 

The job I did do for many years was a total waste of time that I didn't enjoy, so I feel I've made significant progress, at least on the enjoyment front!
