I'm experiencing something similar in Fallout 3, it's actually taught me some pretty cool stuff. In Fallout 3 depending on your actions or how you complete certain missions you can get good karma or bad karma.
For example, turn of the atomic bomb in Megaton city and saving the people there raises your Karma by a large number of points. Wire the bomb to explode and you get paid lots of money but you also get negative Karma.
Lately I've being hearing Brent Smith talk about giving to give and how the universe rewards you for doing positive things, especially when you do things without expecting a return.
In Fallout 3, random people will give you stuff for free if you have positive karma, also certain characters will want to be your companions in the game and accompany you on missions. If you have high karma you attract more positive characters, if you have negative karma you tend to attract more negative characters.
So I've starting to play with the idea of doing things in real life that raise my "karma". Whether it is giving up a seat on a train to an elderly person, giving some cash to charity, just doing something positive for the fun of it and not expecting anything in return.
Fallout 3 - I had to promise myself to stay away from that game knowing I might kill several months of my life with it
Yeah, you are right, all fallouts are unusually smart games with a lot of both depth and humour to them.
If you think Fallout 3 is going to take several months or your life away just you wait until Fallout New Vegas. Apparently there is a hardcore mode where your character has to eat, drink and sleep regularly or he/she dies.
Anyway I might stay away from games for a while or limit myself to a half an hour to an hour a day.
Games are getting so huge now that they are really big undertaking.

What I have noticed thus far is that I'm slowly detaching myself from any outcome. In other words, being more indifferent. It's not very pronounced yet but more of a ongoing process. I'm figuring the Alpha Male program will really kick in to higher gears once I get to stage 2 and 3. More issues will wash up and will be dealt with in due time.
Sounds to me you're making good progress so far.
Thanks. Good to hear from you to. Yeah I noticed that. I've being more and more detached from the outcome over the last few months but the issues that are coming up are really hard core. Already feeling much better though.
I'm just a few days away from stage 3 and I tell you I can't wait to see what happens in September and October. The way I see is that I should finish the Alpha Set by sometime in January. I could start the woman magnet and finish that in the middle of next summer.
