This year started on the right foot, I met some really nice clients at ThemeForest, I was able to launch WP Madness few weeks ago and my work schedule has never been that filled before. That’s all part of a Web Designer dream I guess.

But I like to be honest, I am a lazy…laazy guy sometimes, and I can get easily depressed when I see all the to-do’s when I start my day, I am not a machine after all right? So I started thinking of ways to get distracted, to empty my mind of all that code, vertical rythm, margin-right, overflows, etc. and I ended up buying Aion: The Tower of Eternity, my firstMMORPG ever (as well).

This game is a real beauty, the graphics are just impressive and being a designer I think this caught me. By the way, I ended up on the Web Design industry playing games (mostly the Call of Duty series and some other FPS).

I can’t be sure at which point playing a Role game starts being therapeutic for the stress, but what I can say is that after an 8 hours journey of work, this is highly enjoyable. Now, this is not the only thing I do (don’t think I am a full time geek, lol) I enjoy a lot going to movies, spend time with my girlfriend, reading and partying sometimes.

Anyway, I know that a lot of young (and not so young) designers and developers like to play games, so do you play games? or even better have you ever played this Aion game? don’t be shy and let me know!

Here is a screenshot of my main character on the game, a Sorcerer =)
