What have you sacrificed for ArmA/OFP?

[4 IN 1 0]

OFP cost me two mice (this sounds somehow funny ^^) because of completly click-exhaustion. Waisted them during the WRP-Edit episode because you had to place each object with a doubleclick...

LOL, I had totally forgot about that!  I went thru about 2 myself.  On both occations the right-click button simply gave under the strain of heavy use.

lol i mine still in working order (but i think my left click is starting to say "fuck that i cant take it anymore")

well i do however get ripped of my old wireless keyborad and mouse through as the always gone crazy when i got incoming call on my mobile, its only a gift anyway

other things like upgrading CPU, RAM, adding HDD or finally changing to my up2date rig have costed me about US$2800~3000 in total for the past 5 years.... oh dear

I suppose (not entirely due to OFP/ArmA mind you) the callus on the underside of my right hand, from all the mouse-ing

I'm married with 5 kids. I have never considered my time at the game, forums or deciphering tutorials a sacrifice or even a waste. It is my time to relax and learn and simply to do what I enjoy. I purchased CWC gold, Resistance and after cracking the center of my disc from repeated use, I purchased a copy of GOTY. I have upgraded my PC to suit OFP since it has been the only game that I have played for the past 5 years.(other than halo on xbox with friends) I enjoy learning the technical side of it just as much as playing the game(if not more). To top it all off, I really have not learned as much as I would like to know, BUT It has been great trying and I will continue to try untill I can #1 complete a mission , #2 create an addon , #3 create a world . If I have sacrificed anything, it has been sleep.(tons of it. since I can't play untill my little ones are tucked in) Overall, I still enjoy the game and all that it has to offer. OFP will never go quietly into the night......it owns the night. As for ArmA...I'll wait until it has improved some.

That's funny My friends are OFP illerate as well and when I try to explain the potential of the game as if I am a salesman, they just don't get it. My wife has become my shrink. I talk to her about the game and she shows the greatest of interests but you can tell on her face that she hasn't got a clue.
