Video Games are the path to the enlightenment of Humankind, or at least Reptitekind.

I can’t take it anymore! This is a good game that runs well on my sub-par PC, but I can not keep this up. being forced to play a game every day nonstop is making go crazy. Most hard badges weren’t meant to be taken on in one day (though this one realistically could be). This is aggravating my OCD too much. The only way I am going to be able to maintain a shred of composure is if I quit Kongregate altogether. When it was just weakly challenges, I could stop, take a break, and come back to it later and if I didn’t finish the challenge in time, it was likely because I procrastinated, so I could blame myself and get over it. Now, though, I find myself spending entire Saturday evenings playing a single flash game, desperate to achieve some lofty goal that could take 10 hours when I only I only have 9 hours. Then, when I fail to get there in time (and even when I do ), I feel like this website and these games are out to get me! This is not healthy. I know I should not let this get to me like this, but it does, so, the best thing I can do now is ignore this site altogether and quit cold turkey. I loved coming here at one time. This is where I discovered some of my favorite gaming experiences, which themselves led to even greater discoveries beyond this site, but now this is simply a chore that eats away at my sanity. I can’t have fun with these games anymore. Even when the games the badges lead me to are of great interest to me, the time limit make it impossible for me to enjoy the experience. While Newgrounds and the like may be nice for their animations and parodies, Kongregate will always have a special place in my heart, if only for being the crucial stepping stone that led me to finding out about the other great entertainments and communities the internet had to offer me. From playing Mardek RPG for the first time, which lead me to follow fighunter.com, who’s forums coincidentally led me to my favorite indie game of all time “Iji”, which introduced me to the realm of Let’s Plays. Let’s Plays, which are a celebration of my favorite pastime and lifelong love of Video Games. I have never been good at games of skill and have always preferred to play games of strategy like RPGs where I can take my time and plan things out, But, even though I have never been skilled at many types of Video Games, I have some love for most every genre of Video Game ever conceived. Through Let’s Plays, I can experience Video Games I never would, or could, play myself; relive Video Games I have played through before; be introduced to games I’d have never known about otherwise; and see the Video Games I loved (or hated) from many differing points of view, all in great detail. So, while I am sure that leaving Kongregate will mean that I will miss out on many great things to come, it just is not for me anymore. Besides, one person can only do and experience a finite number of things in their lifetime. Goodbye. Sorry for the wall of text, I needed to get that out. continued for the last time Great, right when I decide to quit “Cursed Treasure: Level Pack!” gets the daily badge I was waiting for to motivate me to play it. No, I will NOT be tempted. If I don’t quit now, I likely never will, and the stress will kill me. NO MORE!
