There is no one to blame for my actions.

Just...fuck it, I'm done!
ekolis: Dude, it's good to take a break and focus on getting your life back in order, but I don't think you have to give up on gaming or on writing permanently. Go to school, find a job, maybe see a psychologist or something - then come back with a fresh attitude! Or not, you don't have to. But it would be a shame for you to just give up on the things you're passionate about just because you're going through what seems to be a bout of depression!
frankhaggar972: Man I'm gonna miss your blogs. Hope things go well for you, never give up. I hope you can one day return.
caboose_-1: Ah man. First of all let me just say that it sucks that you're having to go through so much right now; trust me, I've been there. Second, do what you think you need to do to get your life sorted out. The website will be here if you ever want to come back and we'd take you back with open arms. The road may have some bumps and potholes ahead, but you just have to soldier on and keep at it. You may very well find your outlook on things improving as you get everything set straight and start moving on.
Do I think you should give up writing forever? No. You ARE a good writer and some of your blogs are very inspirational. Should you take a break. It certainly sounds like it.
I'll miss having you around man.

Alpha Unit: We don't exactly dislike you...But uh, I do think you should straighten your life, blog, AND game provided you iron out all the kinks biting at your sides.
Whitly: Um, I'll miss you?

Sometimes being too short can lead to disappointment.
phoenix_44: Yeah i couldn't believe how short Spec Ops was. I played through the whole thing and had a blast, it's a fun game. But way too short. I would have been upset if I paid retail price for a console version, coz I mean sure the campaign is great. But then what? Multiplayer doesn't do anything special, if you want good online 3rd person cover shooter you'll either go play gears of war or uncharted. But seeing as how I picked it up on sale from steam for next to nothing I'm content with it. The twist ending was ok. Nothing mind blowing but it did make me want to replay certain parts to see what could have been done different.
caboose_-1: And it could just be a mistake on the part of the developers or they ran out of time to put something like that in. Either way, this was a good read.
KingSigy: I honestly didn't even try the multiplayer. It was more to do with me not caring then hearing horror stories about it. I even saw there was a co-op mode added, but I just don't understand the purpose of that. This entire game is meant to make you feel uncomfortable and question your actions, so how would a co-op mode do that?
You're also right about the similarities between Spec Ops and Uncharted, but I still feel like noticing the break from action in another game could have helped Yager here. While maybe the whole thing isn't meant to give you a break, I honestly don't see how letting the characters get more development or reflection would have damaged the overall narrative.

KingSigy: After finishing it twice and thinking about it for the better part of last week, I do have to agree with you. As most critical pieces about this game have stated, it's not meant to be fun. You are supposed to experience everything like some giant slide of tension and discomfort.
I suppose that's my only real fault with the game, too. Everything is competent and I love discussing the implications of what modern "military shooters" have on the human mind, but the game really isn't that fun.
Oh well, I still feel like the experience would hit home harder if you were given a chance to reflect. "Apocalypse Now" even has down time between it's scenes and it's still regarded as a classic.

KingSigy: Yes, I was playing on PC. I even managed to finish the game on FUBAR and it took me around 7 hours. At that point, though, the difficulty feels more cheap than truly hard and the pacing feels too long.
I always go for hardest by default. If a game lets me play it on Insane/Veteran/Legendary/etc from the get-go, I pick it.
Still, I just didn't feel any moments where I was allowed to stop. I suppose they were there, but the game (I feel) is meant to convey how unenjoyable war is. In a real war, you wouldn't get a minute or so to think.
I suppose I just wanted it to be more of a game than an entire analysis of the genre of "military shooters". Maybe that's my only problem with it.

It took one game's magnificent ending to bring an epiphany to my life...
iluvpopcorn23: After Unwound Future, the series starts a past trilogy from Last Specter, which continues in the movie the Eternal Diva, then Miracle Mask, and then the game to be released Azran Legacies. Each game that progresses in this past trilogy gets more emotional (Miracle Mask falls just short of Unwound Future, at least in epicness), and I have no doubt that I am going to cry my eyes out at the end of the sixth game.
KingSigy: Yeah, it's not worth getting angry over. I just wish some people would listen to reason.
SonikkuGal: If only it were that simple, my friend. A few of my co-workers tend to not understand the concept of "emotion" over something that isn't real. I tried the movie explanation at the time. No understanding *shrug* Oh well. What can you do, right? ^_^
KingSigy: Just ask them if they've ever cried at a film. It's the same concept.
SonikkuGal: Oh man. You've got me all worked up again *sniffle* I cried like a baby when I reached the end of this Layton adventure. It was really bad considering I was at work and chilling on my break when I beat it. All of my co-workers witnessed it and none of them understood. Some even said, "It's just a game. Is it really worth crying over?" Reading a touching story such as yours, I know for a fact it was. I'm really happy for you and my heart (and bucket-o-tears :3) goes out to you <3

In response to your last comment to me, it's always easier to talk than to act. The first step is always the hardest.
KingSigy: I'll have to find it somewhere. I don't think any bookstores actually exist near me, but Amazon can always alleviate that.
caboose_-1: Oddly enough, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. It's more than just a "here's how to get stuff done" thing. The author really pushes the idea of reevaluating things from a different perspective.
KingSigy: I haven't moved yet, but I'll take the book recommendation. I haven't read anything in years, so maybe it will help me in more ways than one.
caboose_-1: Well I'm not sure what to tell you. You moved to a different state so that you can get a reset on life, but that can't happen until you start to let go of the past. I could make a recommendation for a book that gave me a bit of perspective on life and how to change things if you want.
KingSigy: Yeah, it really sucks. I'm not sure what to do right now, though.

Sometimes looking to the past can fix the future.
KingSigy: Yeah, Alan Wake was pretty good. I preferred American Nightmare, though. Not that I had any major problems with mechanics or controls, but the regular game just got so damn repetitive. The only driving factor was how good the story was.
ExplodingLobster: I liked this, I like it when people talk a little about themselves. Sorry you aren't feeling inspired right now, I know that feeling all too well. I hope you can find something to inspire you soon. Also Alan Wake is absolutely fantastic.

Sometimes you just cannot be with the one you truly love...
Martyna: McCartney did his extremely best to crush this rumor throughout interviews and by redistribution a message on his website that affirmed that Mills was a being who has spent a great deal of her time annoying to help people in better need than herself.

KingSigy: Yeah, I suppose so. The first girl I fell for, though, was back in high school when I was 17-18. I definitely was ahead of the curve as my thoughts were pretty damn mature. I can positively say, though, that I merely liked her for her physical beauty. Not that I didn't care about her personality, but the bullshit I put her through wasn't right.
Flapperdoodle: Well, I'm only 15. Love is a joke at our age.
KingSigy: I try to on Twitter, but I always feel like I'm being over bearing. I never want to tweet too much, but I also don't want to cease tweeting. Finding the balance seems impossible.
caboose_-1: Ouch man, I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a rough time. I wish I could offer some form of advice but I don't have any experience with this. Every relationship I have had has been short-lived and resulted in me getting burned. Are you at least maintaining some form of contact with her?

Can evil return to good?
KingSigy: Haha. I always love a nice nod to Monty Python.
caboose_-1: So no pressure then. X(

KingSigy: My only problem is that I don't have a career. Nothing in my life is set up for longevity, but I do not want to return home. Considering how gloom and doom I am, I'm fearing that failure will lead to death in the near future. That's about my only concern, though.
caboose_-1: Ah man, I'm sorry to hear that you've had to go through so much crap. But you know what? This could be just the change you need. I recall even SA's own Jared mentioning that he pretty much restarted his life when he moved down to Texas from Wisconsin but says it was really for the better.
Coming from a guy that has recently had to move to a place that isn't too far from everyone but still just far enough away to make getting together a hassle, it could be very well what you need. But if you ever need advice or just someone to talk/vent to, just shoot me a message.

KingSigy: At this point, yes. I've lost a bunch of friends due to a girl, my aunt died due to a ridiculous illness, my friend's mom passed this year and now an older friend is being served jail time. I need an escape, haha.

If those words ring hollow to you then I apologize. But take it from a guy who was only used by someone then cast aside. If you let it consume you then you will find it hard to pull yourself out of a pit of self-loathing.
