Hey, Newgrounds.
Now that school is going to begin (15 September, euro school), I was thinking where to point my life to.
Right now, it's divided into more parts, and I try to do as much as I can with each:

1. Newgrounds - NG is a part of my life. Every day I wake up and deposit my points and I also play games with medals and blam and protect- anyway i do everything possible on NG. So I must say that NG takes up about 15% of my life now.

2. WoW - Yes, I am addicted to it. I love playing it. Every single minute I spend walking around or killing monsters/players is like an eternal life of joy. Well, not really, but the point is I like it way too much and now with the announcement of the new expansion I feel like I'll never be able to give it up. I also play with my brother, and that might make the joy bigger, you know, doing quests with him.
Per total, WoW takes up about 40% of my life now.

3. Social life - This is what I'm thinking I might improve on, but it's hard when I'm addicted to WoW. In the summer break, I don't really go out with friends, but when school starts, I said to myself that I would go out more often and stay less on my computer. Right now, it's 10% of my life.

4. Electric Guitar - Yeah... I like playing it and my ambition is to become really good at it, but I don't really have enough patience. Also, I think that WoW is getting in the way of my learning... Anyway, playing the guitar is about 15% of my life now.

5. Playstation Gaming - My favorite console. My PS3. I haven't played on it ever since I started playing WoW. I used to play Killzone 2 online and LittleBigPlanet. Damn it was awesome. I still play, but very rarely now. It takes up about 10% of my life now.

6. Skateboarding - I also like doing this, but sometime last year I had an incident and forgot how to do some basic tricks and now learning is very hard. I feel like giving it up, but something in me forces my body to continue. Anyway, I continue and I find some small pleasure in it. I used to find it alot more awesome before I forgot the basics. At the moment, it's about 10% of my life.

So, that would be it. That's my life right now. When school starts, I'll have to squeeze in a "Learning" activity in my already populated list.
I really feel sad right now, because I don't know what I should cut out, or if I should cut out anything. I love Warcraft to the fucking death and it consumes a lot of time, but it's really hard to give up on. I also enjoy every single activity in my list.

This is why I turn to you, NG. I need some advice on how to make my life better. Please tell me what you'd do if you were in my position, what you'd stop or what you'd do less, I don't know.
Thank you very much in advance to everyone who gives mature replies, not "Dude u suck gtfo".
Thanks again.

Everything is good in moderation.

Stop playing WoW so much.

Go outside and hang out with friends more.

Everything Else is fine.

Except when school starts, stop the Ps3 and WoW and replace it with Homework and stuff. Once ur done with ur homework then play WoW

This is probably the worst thing about your life, nearly half of it is WoW? That's pretty fucked up to be honest.

Every thing else is fine and dandy in my eyes.

Delete your WoW account and get better hobbies, go back to skateboarding or do something better like focus more time with your guitar.

That's an hour or two every day? Understandable.

2. WoW - Per total, WoW takes up about 40% of my life now.

So that's like 10 hours playing WoW every day?

3. Social life - This is what I'm thinking I might improve on, but it's hard when I'm addicted to WoW.

GTFO your house and meet up with friends. Playing WoW with them doesn't count.

4. Electric Guitar - Yeah... I like playing it and my ambition is to become really good at it, but I don't really have enough patience.

Find songs you like, learn how to play them etc.

5. Playstation Gaming - My favorite console. My PS3. I haven't played on it ever since I started playing WoW.

You poor thing.

6. Skateboarding - I also like doing this, but sometime last year I had an incident and forgot how to do some basic tricks

Go skate with friends.

Basically, don't spend so much time on WoW, and go spend time with real people. When school starts save WoW for the weekend and fit in homework and stuff during weekdays.

This is filler text.

Thanks, but to stop playing video games would be quite hard.... You know I think I shouldn't quit playing games...
God dammit I feel bad.

I would try to cut back on the WoW a bit, but I assume that's what is going to happen when school starts again.

I think I will, because my friend stopped playing too, and it's no fun playing alone.

Try to get outside a little bit more, other than that, you're fine.

There's nothing wrong with liking video games.

I think the solution is to stop playing WOW.
It may be really hard for you, but it will be VERY beneficial.

What you should do is, grind until you get the best gear then buy world of warcraft catalyst and then kick some ass and then wait for the next expansion then kick some ass wait for the next expansion then kick some ass wait for the next expansion then kick some ass...

World of Warcraft and Newgrounds are addictions that won't be regretted if you cut out of your life.

One day you'll be playing Warcraft and realize that you're not having fun. Also that it's getting you no where.

You may also realize that it's an addiction. Which means that if you cut it out entirely for a while you will most likely lose all addictive feeling towards the game.

It happened for me. I stopped playing world of warcraft. I had all tier 5 when black temple came out. Could not spend a second off that game. I would wake up to play the game and when i was about to go to bed i wouldn't be able to sleep because i wanted so bad to fall asleep so I could wake up and resume playing.

Really...

Go 50 school 40 social 10 skateboarding.

or mix social and skateboarding.

And you'll have NO REGRETS. And that's what matters right? Not your gear, not your egotistical acne covered wow fucks, not your achievements, it's what you won't regret.

If you continue to play the game you'll grow old, you won't be wise, you'll have nothing to live for, no stories, your wife will be trash. YOUR LIFE WILL BE TRASH.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD QUIT PLAYING THAT GODDAMNED WOW, BECAUSE THE MORE YOU PLAY IT THE MORE YOU REGRET IT LATER.

FUCK.

I forgot to add.

Music is an important part of your life.

The more you create and the more original you become the better you will feel about yourself.

And ladies love the 'lectric geetar..

So skateboard around with a guitar around your shoulders holding a beer socializing with your friends. (but don't have more than two beers because if you don't set yourself a limit you'll become a raging alcoholic).

And no one likes raging alcoholics. Except other raging alcoholics. (but they suck too)

connection is the way to win! I won´t expect you to give all up just from one day to other.
Try to meet with some guys you know from NG and WoW. I wouldn´t recommend stopping NG but those online games just like wow just take so mucht time. Like the guy above me I also had those problems with another game - Ragnarok my whole life was about vote coins lvls and hit rates. Then i discovered the ultimatave way to stop! Just take a dep breath and finish off the program. You will miss it for a while but you won´t regret!

Have mercy!
Mercy is sold out!

I agree with "Everything is good in moderation"
If you enjoy playing WoW, play WoW. But if you want to do some other things as well, I suggest you cut back a bit and spread out the time playing WoW on other things you want to do. That doesn't mean you have to cut it out entirely but i think you can understand that 40% of your life is too much.
