Never worked for me. The Amos compiler would be shutdown for Monkey Island, Visual Studio 2008 would be shutdown in favor of World of Warcraft. A fulltime dayjob programming, fulltime evenings a Mage. In a blue dress. Running around Stormwind for hours, to get one of those rare in-game pets. Forgot to cook sometimes, forgot the time often. Never forgot the cat though :) Stopped with the game two years ago; no television in the appartment, I'm swimming in spare time again :-D ..but I do still miss standing on the bridge[^] in Alterac Valley. Close to the graveyard, and sheer fun for any firemage.

Are you sure? With your hair? :omg:
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

No no. Marge has blue hair, it's a green dress.

That was like waiting for pr0n to load in the good bad old days of the internet. Picture appearing line by line, eagerly waiting to see if it will contain anything good. We have a great internet connection at work.

Ok, ok, I'm sure he will let you wear the dress :)
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity
A Blue Blazer[^] maybe.

I'm sure you don't have the belly button to pull it off.

I'm a new programmer, before learning to become a programmer I really liked playing online games, of course not all online games, I just like only games in which the character controls a fighter and fights against others, one of the games of that kind I like best is Space Cowboy. But I've realized that playing online games will make me lose concentration on work and study, that seems true at least to me, I've tried playing that game again and after playing I found difficult to concentrate on learning and working. I'm now really scared of that situation. I of course can't live without programming but playing online games is also very attractive to me. Could any programmers here share with me your experience? Can you both program and play online games in your life? Please give me some advice. Thank you all!
Yes, you can combine gaming and programming just fine. You may have some difficulty trying to add a social life to that, though, but neither gamers nor programmers are known for their exciting social lives. Tip: "My main is on Eredar" is not a pickup line.

I do both. It's all about properly managing your time. I go to school, work, get a full night's sleep, and still have plenty of time to play (though, I have a bit of a backlog right now, thanks to the Steam summer sale...). But I have a rule: don't play games until everything more important is finished.
