... to finally find freedom again.
I told you about uninstalling Diablo III - I stood strong for one day without it, but I've watched a thousand movies on that day, so I reinstalled and was happy to play again, simple as it is.
I like the game, I like getting stronger with my Fist of Ytar, but in fact the game just steals my time. I am really happy to have Raffa living so close next to me as we both played the game together with Peter and often talked about stupid stuff like farming around for hours to buy horrible priced brandnew bracer or a helmet with totally great attributes that makes you 0.6 % stronger in your overall equipment and in the end you just die on Inferno. Jagganatah - that is the name of my character fought his way up to Act III on Inferno but I often felt like a little goblin with a knife fighting shermans. Yesterday night, during "painting and gaming" I just realized how stupid this game makes me, but I am still having fun. Today we had again a chat like real man, about the important things in life and questioned so many things. When playing on Inferno you will be a good player from your skills quick enough - if not you die a million deaths. Now only your equipment can make you a better character and it won't drop, you just farm and farm and farm to buy these glittering shiny earings with extra dexterity ... and yes 0.3% stronger ... let's farm some more and time is losing its meaning if you are sucked in what Blizzard has prepared - it really makes addicted and is bad, even it is a lot of fun in the end.
I stop.
Just giving Peter back his ultimate super ring he found and lent me and maybe he sells it in the real money auction house.
I stop.
Maybe I throw some of my items in the real money blizzard pool, but somehow this will take my time too for a stupid thing so I ain't sure yet but what I am sure about is that ...
I quit.
Not just uninstalling.
I quit.
As I love to paint again and maybe I will play another game on another day that makes me feel better after playing - when I am playing out for satisfaction and fun and not money farming to get 0.1% stronger or 8% better looking.
Time here I am again with this statement and some photos:
Ahhhhhh ... I just realized at the Orc that there is a tooth missing. There was minor damage on the Orc, sculped by mati when it arrived here at my place. I repaired many but missed a tooth?? C'mon!!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!! That is why I like to take photos once in a while :)

Will be repaired for sure ... as I now got the time to paint again :)
I quit.

And again it is time for hardcore jungle metal rock'n'roll Drums ...

WHERE do you find allt these STUNNING miniatures?! You always seem to find excellent sculpts! ^^
The details in that orc is nothing short of amazing.
Do you have any hints on good busts or other minis that serves well as projects in getting better at painting? Cant seem to find any myself and gaming miniatures just get rushed for me somehow... :(
Dear Roman: amen. Nothing more to say to that great insight you posted. Thought about you guys today, strolling over a market with antique soviet military stuff in downtown Moscow...
Where do I get the bust of the astronaut?? It is awesome! I want to paint one. What company is it? What is name?
And if you ever feel like playing a nice game which doesn't keep you hooked up on farming stuff, try RAGE. (if you haven't played it yet)
Post-apocalyptic Ego-shooter with great characters, atmosphere, quite some nice inspirational towns/areas, heavy distressing and weathering all over the place and aditional to that: Mad-max-style Car racing ^^ And it won't take you forever to finish it ;)
But apart from that, if you ever feel like skipping back to D3 just paint a nice miniature for me ^^
I just reinstalled WOW which I quit back in 2007 and yes, there it is, that appealing feel that I should just go for one more fish at the pool ... Blizzard makes unbelievable compelling games and I still didn't figure out how they do it.
Hey Yaaa!! The bust comes from Wonderland-Projects: http://www.wonderlands-project.com/shop/athanor_11_bustes_sergent-corwinn__ath-007.html
But as far as I know it is sold out at the moment- New casts are expected soon!
Thanks to all of you for your honest words. I am really happy about my step. Yesterday I did meet up with a friend ingame and gave all my equipment to him and around a thousand gems :D - he was pretty happy but said this felt unreal, like the best drops he ever recieved :D
So I am out! I did quit!
@Wolfgang
I told Raffa yesterday that I kind of miss you and wish for a painting session soon with you :)
@Flann
Easy on how they do it. They have psychologist who know about the weaknesses of the human race and the games by blizzard just catch up on these to make people addicted ...
I am proud of you my monkeybrother.
where is the orc from? its so detailed! i don't know where you find these things. so talented
