TPU: The Addiction
Yup, I have to confess, there's something incredibly compelling about TechPowerUp. I can't leave it for even a minute. The addiction has got even "worse" since I started posting news - the buzz is awesome. Nothing gets close, not hardware upgrades, fast driving, not scary rollercoasters, not alcohol, not drugs, not food, not winning a million, not sex (lemme think about this one) nothing tops it. Ever.
I've got my Sandy Bridge upgrade sitting tantalizingly, seductively, in her boxes for over a week, untouched. Why? Because there's news to write! A physical social life? Nah, not a patch; why do I wanna be around smelly real people when I can have virtual digital perfection instead? Sleep? I reluctuantly succumb to my biological requirements. Eventually.
Alas, Real Life majorly gets in the way: I have to go to work! It all takes such an incredible amount of time away from my True Mission of writing news and making forum posts on TPU. At work, they don't like to see you using the internet, everything is logged and managers walk by all the time. However, that doesn't stop me. Nope. I keep a small Firefox window open and visit TPU discretely. If I can, I even make a few posts. Yup, dangerous but worth it.
And why is it so good? The staff and the members, of course. An aura of awesomeness emanates from our master, W1zz, infusing the site and all of us with it. We have the best mods and staff on the planet and our members are the best on the internet (yes, I've met them all). I am humbled to be a part of this.
Yeah, that's why you won't find better than TPU, online, offline, anywhere...
