I was looking forward to playing Assassins Creed 3 cause the main dude is Connor and that's me.
And that game turned out to be pretty shit compared to the rest. So I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Unlike Kane and Lynch 2.
There will probably never be a video game with a protagonist who shares my name, Hayden doesn't scream video game protag to me.

Oh cool, and he's voiced by Lex Luthor from Smallville, that's p. cool.
Shame the game seems to be only okay.

[QUOTE=gaminji;46235781]while we're venting i might as well talk about what's really bothering me
i'm having a really hard time continuing to cope with my crushing loneliness. before now, it was easy for me to sort of block it out by focusing on my day to day life and where i wanted to go and what i wanted to do, which was a pretty good way to handle it because i'm not really doing anything right now besides making ends meet, which imo is a shitty way to live and i want to do more. i think that i've got it figured out and i've got something i want to strive for which is fucking fantastic for someone like me
but recently things have started to slow down; halloween is starting so work is just a big painful blur that i get through every day and forget about as soon as i get home and i have more time to not actually think about my goals rather than thinking about work or my goals. the things i can think about have sort of bottomed out in the past week and im faced with these horrible lulls where i have almost no choice but to poke my inner demons. i realize that i have got literally nothing. i have a small home, a job, a car, an assload of video games and that's it. what's missing? someone. i realize this because my sister visited me last week and she left yesterday, which was so shitty for me to deal with. so now i have this deep-set desire to go out and find someone, but i'm so set into this rut of wake up go to work come home waste time repeat that i have no idea how to break free
sort of related but i want to start working out. i literally feel ill in the morning when i look at myself in pictures and in the mirror. how the fuck did i let this happen to me i used to be thin. what's worse is i have a great frame that if i were to flesh myself out with muscle and not fat i would look great. i just can't find the room to start. i know i need to start soon, or the stress from putting it off is going to make me stress-eat into obesity and then i'll never start
sorry if this was kind of incoherent or stupid, i'm having a rough time and i needed to vent more than anything[/QUOTE]
definitely start working out my man, studies have shown that regular exercise works just as well, if not better, than prescribed antidepressants. you will look and feel so much better which will not only make you physically healthier, but emotionally and psychologically. you'll get a huge boost in confidence that you'll need to get out there and meet other people.
i'm sort of in the same rut lately, i can't find time to do anything other than work and sleep and study, but i just cleared some room in my schedule to start an EMT certification class that i couldn't be more excited to start since it's something i actually care about and want to do. try finding something like that. what are your interests? i know this is all cookie cutter advice but honestly it is true. doing something you love gives life meaning, you know? like for my EMT thing, i'd be an EMT for free, it's something i love that much, but shit i'm gonna get paid to do it, it's literally a dream come true.
it just sounds like you need a change. maybe sell a few video games to pay for a gym membership or something to get you out of the house? you're already at the point where you no something is wrong, and that is a great place to be. now you are in a position to fix what's wrong.
the only concrete advice i can give you would be to think about something you like doing or have an interest in and get involved with it. i can guarantee you that you aren't the only person interested in whatever it is you are interested in. name some things you like to do!
For some reason, after blowing shit up in Just Cause 2, all I can think of is "Meow" so....
Meow
And fuck, it seems that the mods I'm using are the source of TF2's instability and crashing. It seems I can play fine without them, but as soon as I had them to the mix everything hits the shitter. At this rate, I'll leave the mods uninstalled and play the Halloween event for this year, then uninstall the game. I guess I'll have to wait to play TF2 until I can get a better computer.

i'm really interested in voice acting and doing things with my voice. other than that, i really like the idea of biking. i don't have a bike though, maybe that's where i should start. get a bike instead of a wii u this november.
i really have an aversion to gyms and stuff. i'd feel pressured to get shit done rather than go at my own pace and be safe. i don't know if that's good or bad. i'm really prone to go on tilt, so if someone spoke up about how i was doing something, regardless if they're right or not, i'd probably get uncomfortable and then angry and then i'd leave. at the same time, working out at home relies on my own discipline to adhere to the routine and actually doing it. idk man.

biking sounds like it's right up your alley, it's something you like to do plus it's great cardio. i loved to go on bike rides till mine got stolen, but i live in detroit so it was bound to happen. i'd definitely get a bike over a wii u if i were you. if you get in the habit of biking a good amount, you won't even need to go to a gym. however another good way to meet people is to ask a friend to be your workout partner, even if he or she doesn't go to the gym a lot either. you two can start together. just remember that even though it doesn't feel like it, when you go to the gym, everyone there is focused on their workout. if someone is going to the gym to people watch and poke fun, they've got worse issues than you do. if anyone pays anyone else any attention at the gym, it's usually because they want them to succeed. i love seeing super skinny or super big guys at the gym because i know they're working to better themselves and that takes some serious balls.
it's really easy to type this out over the internet, i know, but i really hope you can get yourself out there, man. you know what to do, the only one stopping you at this point is yourself. go be great!
I pulled another all-nighter again. God. Fucking. Damnit.

i don't know how to start though, like am i supposed to set a special day aside so i can experience "the first time" or do i just start on a normal day so it gets into my routine faster
i'm clueless because i've legit never changed anything about my routine on purpose. the closest thing i've done is putting my contacts in the morning.
and yeah it's easy to type it out. i can already see a million and one ways this can fail. and i'm pretty spineless so one slip will quickly turn into me dropping the whole self improvement thing.
you would think with how badly i want to improve myself that i would have more drive to do it. turns out i want to be lazy and do nothing more than anything else.
I've started going to the gym, I seriously thought I would have to drag myself over and force myself to work out, but day one I just really enjoyed it. I like the feeling of getting my muscles moving, and it helps that I usually go with my girlfriend or my other friends.
I need to get into a gym....

you don't need to set aside a whole day or anything like that. just ease into it. trying to drastically change your entire life all at the same time usually doesn't work. just incorporate a new thing into your routine and see how it works out, but make sure you give it a fair shot. one cheesy motivational quote that actually makes sense to me is "Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor." it's gonna hurt and it's gonna suck and be uncomfortable to once you push through it, you're gonna be so much happier, and from what you're describing, you don't sound too content.
in terms of actual steps, you've gotta think of a specific thing you want to change. so lets say your goal is getting in shape. start slow. research gyms: which ones are close, membership prices, equipment you would actually use, etc. maybe you could wake up a half hour earlier tomorrow and see how many pushups you can do. look up the 100 pushup challenge, it gives day by day goals to eventually reach 100 pushups. i doubt you'll actually get to the 100 mark (idk if anyone does, it's day after day of just doing pushups and it gets boring, i've tried it like 5 times and got bored of it everytime) but you will feel better about yourself once you get a few weeks in. i never thought i'd be able to do 30 pushups in a row until i played with that, now i can and im stoked. maybe find a gym with a stationary bike you can use. that way you can just pedal away while you watch tv or read a book or something. before you know it, you'll have biked a few miles. every time you bike, go a little farther. think of it as xbox achievements or something. nike has a running app i use that literally has achievements like video games, it's really cool, i love going on a run and earning a few new achievements when i'm done. it really motivates me to beat my current times, almost like im playing forza irl.
don't worry about messing up dude, name me one person who hasn't messed up before. even if it takes a few shots to get into the swing of things, every subsequent attempt, failed or not, makes you better. the only real failure is to not try, and even worse is that its yourself you are failing.

it's that kind of cliche advice that doesn't have any affect on me. regardless of whether or not i'm getting better, if i screw up i get frustrated and quit not long after. it's the reason i'm in the situation i'm in and i [I]hate[/I] it so much. i'm impatient and lazy, the two things opposite of what i would need in order to get fit.
deep down i know i could do it. that's the truth of it. but i'm the laziest person in a 100 mile radius and nothing will get done until the last possible minute. i legitimately need forceful encouragement, whether that's someone harassing me to do it or a time crunch to get it done.
i don't want to come off like i'm pissing on your advice. i adore the fact you would take the time out to type all these posts for me. it means a lot, it really does. and the fact that someone would dedicate even a little bit of time to help me out means the world to me. but i'm stubborn and stupid and i take advice the wrong way sometimes. so your advice isn't going to waste; i'm absorbing it all and thinking harder about this than I ever could have on my own.

honestly the only reason i got up this morning is because my sister talked at me for an hour after i broke down last night. i just need to know that [I]someone[/I] believes in me. i suck at doing stuff like this on my own.
eventually i'll get to a point where it becomes second nature for me to do something and i'll do it regardless of mood or whatever. i just feel like something like working out would take so much longer to get to that point.

i'm tired. i want to sleep. sleeping would be so much better if i could just lay in bed and think for 8 hours and then get out of bed feeling rested.

I'm a petty person when it comes to posting on Facepunch. Like if someone rates my post dumb, I go looking for their post and rate them dumb, regardless of what they said just cause I wanna get even.
I don't like the dumb rating because you may not know what or why the poster would type something or what context the post is in. Also, I'd rather have someone tell me why my post is wrong instead of hiding behind a rating.
