Let me preface this by saying this thread was really REALLY hard for me to post. However, it IS true. I am retiring from not only the Krew, but from COD and all video games in general.
Lately, I had been thinking about what I wanted to do with my life in the future, and that got me thinking about what is keeping me from doing some of those things now. I didn't think I really had a problem or an addiction until a week or so ago when it hit me. For one whole work week I told myself I was going to go straight home after work and start working on some of my music and recording. At the end of every single one of those days, I found myself going to bed after having spent 3 plus hours playing COD and not having worked on music at all.
Traveling and music are a couple of my biggest passions, and both of those are becoming a reality as long as I can make time for them. I have been participating in some international operations with my cousin that are paying VERY well. Combined with my full time job for a fire alarm company, money is coming in hand over fist. I feel this is the right time for me to quit any distractions . . . and start building my dream recording studio and do some traveling.
The problem with my personality is: If I don't quit all out...I won't quit. What I mean is, to quit Call of Duty, I'm literally going to have to not only uninstall the game, but give the game away and tell myself I cannot buy another copy. At the time of my retirement from the Krew, I will also be uninstalling and getting rid of ALL of my video games to eliminate temptation there too.
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011 is going to be my final in-game day as I will be leaving for Korea the following day. I am using this trip as a transition out of the Krew, C0D and gaming in general. I will possibly be saying some final goodbyes on wednesday the 16th on the forums...however, the 16th is the last day you'll see my ugly mug.
I have had my time/fun with gaming...and COD4 was by far the best of all of them. I want to personally thank you all for everything you've done for me, all the games played together...the hackers/spawncampers banned, the good times and laggy times. I will remember you guys, and the Krew foreva!!
I will miss you guys...and wish you all the best of luck in the future!
