  I have literally lost 1.5 years of college around 2001 - 2007 due to Counterstrike. We had a clan with several people in my dorm, and it was awesome. It was also around that time that I felt like I had a productive day if I did laundry, and I had to really force myself to remove it from my computer as I realised it was simply too addictive for me to start a few quick matches all day long. In hindsight, I don’t really regret it, it was probably one of the last times in my life I could procrastinate like that and get away with it reasonably well.

    It is nice to hear these story, just to know I am not the only one with Gaming addition problem in Uni / College. And I think 3-4 years into the society I stopped all gaming completely. Working Life is exhausting.

      Incredible that shortly after many of us went through this, professional competitive gaming could later be a considered career.

        Yeah but only 20-30 people in any region make it as a pro player. The odds are just about as bad as being an NBA player. You didn't miss out on anything.

    It was also a much more pure game back then - there were no cosmetic items (besides free skins you installed yourself from people doing them for free - some of which were insanely high quality and others were just insanely ugly but also hilarious). There were no achievements. It was just skill and gameplay.
