You have no idea how bored I have been

For the past week I have been bored out of my mind more than imaginable. I've just got bk from college and as soon as I got in my mum said that the cable, phone and internet have been put bk on.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW F***ing HAPPY I FELT!

I seriously need to get some more games or something as all I've been doing is playing HL2 and doing some mapping, don't slap me, but it get a bit boring when it's all you can do.

Its also boring when you can do everything but that... I'm so bored of looking at screenshots of other peoples maps!

"Bored" is a controllable state of mind, not an unavoidable condition. I bet there are a million things you could do to keep yourself occupied if you spent just a little time thinking about it. I can't remember the last time I was bored.

Maybe bored was the wrong statement, but I was certainly something,
possibly annoyed, but it even if I played HL2, once I had finished
playing that then usually I would go on msn or something, but no! I
couldn't :sad:

I cannot comprehend how anyone could be bored from mapping. I've been mapping day and night, during virtually all my waking hours, and I am still obsessed. Perhaps it means that I am a true addict.

I even skip meals for mapping. The only reason I stop mapping is for going to work. Sometimes I go without eating the whole day and map until my brows sweat.

And, true to Tracer Bullet's words, boredom is a state of mind that one has some control over.

Wow, I guess you are an addict! I get bored of mapping after only 3 hours no matter how cool my map looks.

Three hours! You really have a short attention span. I typically spend six to eight hours straight for each mapping session (without even a bathroom break). I've been doing this for two months already, and I am still going strong.
I must be a sick man. Maybe I should take something.

No. It's the same way for me. I just don't map at all anymore because I can't control how much time I spend on it!

Yeah, I know. I got my fiance very mad a few weeks ago because I've spent all night mapping and had her sleep alone. I've made a deal with myself that I would not map when she's around.

And sometimes I wouldn't even turn on my computer because I was afraid that I would start a mapping frenzy and lose all control. I feel like an alcoholic sometimes (or rather mapaholic).

But I think this is true for some of us because we naturally have very high level of serotonin in our brains. It got me through medical school with the same intensity. I used to be able to study for more than twelve hours straight, reading and memorizing even during meal time. I did it for two years without a hiatus. Needless to say, I did quite well in medical school and graduated top of my class.

But now there's no more studying, so I direct my obsession to mapping and gaming. :smile:

Id love to be able to map for ages but theres one thing that stops me
from mapping for too long, im a perfectionist when it comes to making
my maps. Ill start mapping, it begins to look good but then something
goes wrong or i just dont like it, ill delete it and start from
scratch. Only ocasionally i finish what im making but its never
anything big, thats why i havent released any maps.

You can't be like that when dealing with life. Otherwise you'll never get married. No one and nothing is perfect. It takes a lot of courage and understanding to accept the imperfection in things and people and appreciate them, even with all the flaws.

Its only when i map, i think i do just get bored of trying to get things how i want them. Hammer seems to freeze and crash all the time on my computer and i allways forget to save my map which puts me off mapping as much as i like it.
