I played half life for a few years before I finally kicked the habit. I loved the rush. Mostly I just played the Opposing Force mod (as many hours of the day I could). My friends and I all had second phone lines and head set phones (back when dialup was the only affordable option). We took winning rather seriously and I saw a few keyboards perish beneath one friend's fists (we lost, occasionally). Eventually, my friends wanted to move on to games that were less interesting to me (Diablo II). That's about when I decided to build a phasmid website. The further I got away from playing games, the further I got from being friends with those guys. It's been almost ten years and they're still doing it full-time. I still think about the game sometimes and am 100% sure I would absolutely get addicted to it if I started up again. But it's a pretty unproductive lifestyle if I remember correctly.
