    Default What keeps you all from playing EB?

    Just curious what keeps everyone from playing EB as much as they want to. Whether it be jobs, wives, or girlfriends. For me I recently got a new Beagle. He barely gives me time to sleep let alone conquer the world.

    As a single man living on my own all that keeps me from playing EB is work, but luckily I am able to browse the forum in work leaving my free time for conquering. I shall not ponder whether EB is perpetuating my single status...

    Work, my friends and my personal writing projects which I'm proud to say EB and the EB team inspired me to create and focus on. I'm also dealing with girls issues since I've got one that's a "friend with benefits" kind of thing, but I'm looking for one to start a serious relationship with

    A whole rack of them:

    Work, college, weightlifting, drawing, reading, and posting in this and another forum.

    No computer capable of running RTW. Though if that were available I don't think I'd have enough time to play much.

    Work. School hours are crazily variable, and working in school means you get take-home work, too. That, and forums. :)

    But I do get some EB time in at work... *blush*

    Hiding EB at work must be super hard cause of the load times for alt-tabing.

    School's a major distraction as well as "people"

    University and foruming.

    And to a much lesser extend: poetry writing (which will later include short story and novel) and Visual Novel reading.

    How good is that? Would you say Broken Crescent is to M2TW what EB is to RTW? Or is it just pretty good, and interesting because it's different?

    Sex, sleep and food in that order. I didn't list work because I work from home and play EB all day. It's pace is perfect in case I need to stop playing to actually work.

    College....and the fact that my computer can't DirectX despite two formats
