I have a cold. My sinuses are pounding. Vs. System gives me something to keep my mind on while I sneeze.

It has given me hundreds of friends that I never would have had... both cardboard and real.

It is currently giving me a thrill by combining the Damn Nazis with all sorts of little minions thanks to Armies of Qward.

And it gives me a place to share my hobby with all of you.

How has it changed your life?

It's gotten me back in touch with my inner comic geek for one thing.

But mostly it's helped me make a lot of good friends. I originally got into cards games when Pokemon was big....yes I know...pokemon, but it was pretty short lived cause when Dragonball Z came out I immediately jumped ship, but that game died a horrible horrible death. When i started to learn VS i got back into comics, and the VS players I've met at my store, some have become some of my best friends, and since playing Vs altogether I've learned more about just having fun, not letting it get too competitive, which is strange cause VS is the only game I've played where there's some big cash prizes, but I've had the most fun with VS, and I guess it made having fun the priority for me.

Through relative domination. :p

Seriously though, I spend a good portion of each day in some sort of VS-Related activity. Although that's been the forums less and less recently, I've been getting together with newer players to help them with decks (and just play a bit of course) more and more of late.

Given how much of my life has actually been VS-related activities, I'd say more than any affect it's had on the rest of my life, I spend enough time with VS to make it a real part of my life.

Also, it got me back into comics.

:cheeky: Wha?

Yep, my reaction exactly. Thule has some seriously insane team stamped stuff and the only question is what other affiliation can abuse it in the most entertaining way. Injustice Gang for Infestation? US Army Rangers for utter blasphemy? Darkseid's Elite for the Anti-Life Equation? Yummy.

It didn't get me back into comics, but it got me into comics I never would have otherwise read. I currently subscribe to two new series that I never would have given a second look until I played their cardboard counterparts.

And I've made a ton of great friends because of this game.

Oh, and it turned me into a CCG junkie again. I've never owned as many cards in my life as I do now thanks to Vs. System(and now WoW, also. thanks UDE. :P).

Vs hasn't changed my life in any significant way but Vs does an excellent job keeping my wallet empty since it is a great game.

VS has done a few great things for me. It got me away from the people who were pushing me out of games, gave me a small group of GREAT friends who I can hang out with on a non VS activity, and helped me travel out of town. It also gives me a release from the tons of personal problems at home, and challenges my mind in a way nothing else can.

man I wish I got to go to a pc, I still haven't been able to attend a big event, last year it really looked like we'd be able to make it to Indy, and it busted, just my luck, gonna try again this year.

Sorry to stray off topic, but I'm sure the big events are a blast, and in themselves very big experiences.

1. It's got me into comic books in a sorta way. I knew some fo teh big names, but the smaller comics that I would never of looked at otherwise.

2. Gives me something to fill up my free time with, now that's the most janky idea out there? I will try and make it work!

3. Let's me spend more time with my brothers and gives us a reason to come together and play some.

-Little Eclipse.

It gave me more things to talk to people on the Internet about.

I play all the time it's ruined my life

my wife left me for a enemy of my enemy weep weep

It's fun. It is a harbinger of good times. Whenever I call it a hobby, my wife corrects me and calls it a habit.

I was explaining what it was like to my wife once, and I said it's the only thing in my life that I can't do just by showing up. I've had the same job for the past 4 years, and while it's always exciting, there's very little there that's surprising any more. I'm capable of it. I'm good at my job, and I have a lot of fun at it too. I'm a Child and Youth Worker, and I've worked with some of those kids for all of those 4 years. They know my #### and I know theirs. My new family is a challenging thing, too, but when I put my nose down and try to solve our problems, they're usually easily worked out.

VS system requires more than just trying. It's hard to win games in actual competition. Playing against players that are better than I am, hardened TCG vets, is in some ways the most challenging thing I do.

How was VS changed my life? Financially I am broke, however in terms of friends and different relationships, I feel that I've been winning the lottery. I've met a lot of different people over my travels because of VS, and they've all been great. I know its always going to be a great time if I have to travel down to WA for a VS event. Same people, but different stories to tell afterwards. This is part of the reason why I miss PCQs and Pre-Releases.
