I'm Sorry But..

My attendance has been piss poor lately.
I've just discovered that the game has become more of a chore then fun and I had other things that could use my attention.
I apologize that this did in-fact have an effect on my alliances performance and you guys lost out on top25 by 25 points! icon_redface.gif

So the past few days w/o MPQ have actually been relatively stress free and relaxing, I wanted to give a few days to make sure that I was finally burnt out and done.
I am, I wanted to hold out till season 3 was done so that i could snag that final Fury Cover but unfortunately for me at this point it's not worth the constant uphill battle that is this game we play.
Too many backwards changes that seem to only punish a player for progression. It's just not fun anymore.

However with that I just got a "broken" Xbox360 that i intended to use only as an extender for my HTPC, It worked so damn well as an extender I bought 2 more
(yet to be determined how well the next 2 will work)
As it turns out i've also wanted to try out street fighter 4 ultra for awhile (kept looking at steam sales) So I got Live Gold for a month because the game was free on it.
(it's all currently downloading as i type this)
So If you wanna kick my **** there or just say hi. My user name is StriateCoast4.

I hope everyone keeps having fun doing the things they love and enjoy life be it with or without the game that brought us all together, But for me this is the end of the road in this game.
Take care,
Ferret

    Sad to see you go, Ferret.

    Enjoy your 360, there's a gazillion games out there that you can gobble up now icon_e_smile.gif
  • Made a seperate thread as I didn't want to derail your thread. But I put my thoughts on the thread I labled "mpq is a relationship" also, ever time one of the old or semi old guard leaves it makes me a little sad and a little more willing to call it quits on the game.

    As for xbox, buy dark souls...1 and 2. If you like fighters like me I dont see why u wouldn't like dark souls (unless u suck at fighters I guess...then u might hate dark souls conceivably).

    Generally I'm a PC gamer and I've a huge backlog on my steam account that I've built up from various humble bundles lol!
    As for dark souls I've seen plenty of play of it on Twitch.TV while working. It looks interesting but very time consuming as well. So was oddly enough just happy to watch others play it.

    Now don't forget that imma Django derailing threads is more or less expected icon_e_biggrin.gif
    So here's my list

    As for my current backlog I've got

    Neèd to restart playing
    The Last of Us
    Devil may cry
    Darksiders2
    Civ 5

    Need to actually get started
    RPG Maker VX Ace
    ArcaniA-Gothic 4
    Dungeon Seige 2&3
    (Mim just had me buy her Fable)
    Magicka
    There's a ton my in my steam account but those are what I got my eye on to eventually try/play

    Maybe play again
    Xcom enemy unknown
    Sid Meier's Pirates!
    Puzzle quest 1&2
    The batman series

    Sad to see you go Ferret.

    If you're in the mood for some xcom...

    Try these
    - http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/88/ (The long war mod, it makes the game harder and longer)
    - http://openxcom.org/ (opensource, updated classic xcom)
    - http://www.xenonauts.com/ (same theme as xcom, new graphics)

    Hope you find the fun you're looking for. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Good luck man. That said, we're looking for people to fill our alliance's holes. PM if Interested.

    Tell me about it. My steam account shows 45 games with only 1 (one) finished. (we can discount 4-5 items where finish is not applicable). Majority never even started. And 19 more items sit in my steam gift inventory -- many of them bundles.
    5 more games on gamesgate not even downloaded to install and the ultimate RPG pack.

    Quite some catch-up to do. At least the summer sale is finishing today limiting input. icon_e_smile.gif
    MPQ took over quite the whole quota of my game time since this year, looks unfair imbalance.

    Even if the game stayed fun as it was even early this year (with some serious problems but still). I think we're better off leaving it to its intended public that we were not fitting right from the start.

  • Hey Ferret, do you play UMvC3? If so, PM me - I'd love to get some matches in.

    I really wanted that one this Summer Sale, but just couldn't afford it this time around. Maybe next time.

    You're not a true Steam gamer until you've built up a library of useless **** you can't remember buying icon_lol.gif

    I've only got 159 titles (by no means the biggest I know of) but I can't remember how, when or why I came to own a copy of Championship Manager 2010 icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Speaking of, I have a copy of World Basketball Manager 2010 still sitting in my inventory unredeemed since the winter sale several years back...
