Anger management.

Part 4

Intense moment will appear in online games, but when you fail to achieve the goals you've set up you cant resist the anger rushing through your body. From my own perspectives i've had alot of anger in my years of gaming and i cant believe that i am the only one, then how could a game make you this angry? reality doesnt exist and still the anger creeps through your head, this emotions isnt sustainable, and according to me redirecting this anger into a game will drop the tense moments in real life, thats my thoughts about ingame anger. I've met alot of calm people outside the game but as they enter WoW they become a whole different person, shouting as if there were no boundaries ( even though they are shy ) and laughing to funny things as they got a ''stoneface'' on the outside. This is what i've noticed and from my discovery WoW Soothes your senses.
and this is what the gamerage could look like!

A quick sidenote

I've just managed to take 2k rating in the 2s bracket .......

Adult Gaming? Playing with your parent

Part 3

I've always wondered, since i started my so called career how it does feel to have a gaming parent? There is alot of questions that goes through my head, because my parents hate gaming. People that doesnt have gaming parents look down on the ones that actually have parents who is involved (or atleast i do, cause i envy them) and why are peo ople judging them so hard? they got a big fat stamp saying Nerd all over them, why? i blame the darn society.
Gamers and their parents differs alot, if not, they share the same passion, and that must be freedom in game terms.

I've had some people that felt very offended by this blog due to the writing style and the subject that i am constantly facing beacuse it is to ''close to home'' and i'll try to refrain from that and take my writing in other aspects.
Best regards Emil Charpentier.

The Desire? Addicted? To what? the non existing boundaries.

Part 2

Ever felt the desire to log on? Ofcouse you've had, doesnt matter if you are a casual gamer or a harcore one...still we have the desire! But why do we have this desire? Is the desire something that Blizzard or Valve had expected when they made their games? there is alot of questions regarding this subject, but still it remains as a question and it differs alot from player to player.

from my own experience the desire to play is always within me, and it doesnt matter wheter i am in a bad or a good mood or if i am sick or feeling well...the feeling is there and is non removable. i've spoke to several fomer gamers and how they handle their life without game and i've got alot of different answers, for an example ''I've been watching WCM (warcraftmovies ) for two years in a row now and thats what makes me satisfied, aslong i dont need the pressure to log on to my character''.

I've been questioning myself if the game is based on the trust of others? and if you need to log on because the trust you've earned from others, and that they rely into you in their daily bases of a raiding team or being a weekly pvp hero for your team playing around 400 games a week. letting people down is never fun, even though it is over the net...that maybe one of the reason the desire to log in growing? as you get better equipment and as you gain trust by others you are ''forced'' to log on.

Daily Question : What makes you log on to the game? Gamers compared to drug addicts,wrong?

So you think you've lost your soul to gaming? I guess not.

Part 1

Background, My name is Emil Charpentier and i've been living on and off in a virtual world, in a game called world of warcraft. I started out my gaming three years ago. I am doing a social study over two weeks now (thirteen parts), and i would like to get as much constructive critism from other players aswell.

World of Warcraft changed my life completely and i've struggled alot in my life and i think most of the gamers done the same and we face constant challenges aswell as in game as outside in the real world as we are living double lives. If you are a gamer in the same age as i am (17y) then you problably started out playing a game at the same age as i did (12y) and at first i faced many challenges for an example i've had alot of fights with my family regarding the time i spent infront my computer and over two years in middle school i lost contact with my parents. i stopped seeing my dad for a while aswell because i saw him as a obstacle trying to prevent me from my beloved game, i couldnt imagine he were trying to help me even though he told me so. By getting a timer on the router or getting a lock on my computer which were shutting off my computer, my hatred for him grew...still i believe that many gamers feel the same in some way? But we get alot of new buddies (or atleast i did) through gaming and thoose guys are still my best friends.

Inside the game you cant notice this and neither would you want to know. the mystic with meeting other players and not knowing anything except how they appear in the game is one of the many exciting things.

Question of the day - How do your parents react to your gaming? Good, and why? bad, why?
