      Losing a three year relationship with probably the love of my life because I didn't pick up any of her calls when she was away for a few months due to being in game. Kinda made me hate dota briefly.

      Chris.

        And still you play it.

        Bad Intentions

          @ulti,

          that scenario usually happens to me, but more like fights, did not really lead to any breakup, so far. be sure to have that phone headset handy when someone calls! :]

              @Chris, the thread title 'addiction' essentially sums it up. Plus I stated I 'briefly' hated dota.

                Dw, she was probably sleeping with someone whilst she was away, & projected her guilt onto you via 'not answering my calls' because that seems like a fairly retarded thing to be angry about.

                My fiancé knows I'm probably in-game if I don't answer her calls, so she texts me instead.

                  well, ty for the pick me up I guess? idk if that was meant to be reassurance or condemnation.

                  Ash

                    Reassurance lol. If she can't be happy for you enjoying your self, then what's the point?

                      Sure I get that, but I also didn't put in the effort I should have because of dota :D

                          trying to remember how i was at 12-13 y/o and only thing that comes to mind is images of wc3 dota, nights spent at net cafes with friends and playing truant in order to go to said net cafes.

                                    Bored to do anything else than dota! Wake up and the 1st action you think to do is press Computer's power button. Thinking tactics and options about how u could win a game that u lost when u do something else than dota! Thats your answer tread starter!

                                              ^I like that one.

                                              Like others, multiple fights with the girlfriend of over 3 years. She's learned that I'm probably in a game, but often I'll open a text to look at it after I miss her call while in game, start a text back and then completely forget about it until 4-6 hours later. Whoops. She's gotten a lot more understanding about it lately but it's been something we've had to work through.

                                              Other than that, turning down friends invitation to watch a movie etc. to go play dota alone in my room.

                                              Thinking about tactics while at work.

                                              Posting on Dota forums while at work. :D
