What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More?

wonderless asks: "Long ago and far away, I thought that I was going to be a Great Geek, and that I was going to provoke a revolution in the computer industry--and indeed, the world--with my mastery of technology. I could hardly wait to throw myself into an intense, highly technical curriculum and shine. But as I said, that was long ago and far away. Now I'm one semester away from graduation, with a 3.5 average overall and a lackluster 3.0 in CS, and I'm liking it less and less every day. I used to be able to say that at least it pays well, but now I can't even take solace in that. I drag myself to classes and through projects, and it all seems really pointless--I'm just implementing what's written in the book, and eradicating the countless off-by-one bugs is nothing short of mind-numbing. I'd like nothing better than to recapture the feeling of joy I used to get out of doing this, and to once again be able to say I'm doing what I love. What do you do when it isn't fun any more, but you'd like it to be?"

Stop playing CS and try Q3UT instead. Its got nicer weapons, a better looking engine, much better level design and runs great under Linux (well God - this is Slashdot after all).

See you in Rommel :D

Sure, although CS sucks,.. it does run fine under linux. Just like many other games.

Although I do have to agree with you. Q3UT is a hell of alot better than CS.
