I just sold a multiplayer Gears of War 3 preorder skin for $25 on eBay, only a few minutes after I posted it for sale. People are nuts.

After my little spree today, I think I'm set on sneakers for the next year or two.

I played the first two Gears games, and I enjoyed them, but after that I just can't seem to care about the series anymore. I totally don't care that I can't get Gears 3, and I don't think that I ever will if I have the opportunity. I dunno, it just seems that the games that get everyone excited these days just feel "meh" to me. And then the games that excite me, they aren't huge hits, and don't get any 9.5's from the critics. Maybe I'm just growing out of games.

Gears of War might interest me if the games didn't seem like they took themselves so seriously.

You're not growing out of games man, you're just not into what's most popular right now.

Let's face it, most of the big name, million seller hits now are shooters or some variant of them. Halo, Gears, Call of Duty. If those games don't strike you, oh well.

I'm the same way. The biggest hits nowadays (the ones I listed above) mostly serve to make me yawn. Yet I'm even more obsessive about games as a whole than I've ever been.

Its just the industry shifting, like it always does.

Is it really that hard to not smoke weed? I just don't understand the appeal.

Kind of a silly question, like you're maybe doubting yourself here or something?... lol.

Personally not a fan at all myself and I'd rather not go into personal details, I've just seen it ruin a good deal of friends over the years. Tried it twice myself and just didn't care for it at all. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything at all.

It's hard to stop when you're used to mixing it with tobacco. It's easier to stop when you smoke it pure. But it all comes down to the person that stops. You make it as hard as you make it. Just know you will have horrible nightmares for a few days / weeks when you stop. And I do mean horrible...

I've never done any kind of drug whatsoever, not even weed.

I'm not worried about it either.
