Does gaming consume your life??
 

So I was wondering about you guys... How big a role does gaming play in your life? Are you satisfied with that?

There are people that don't seem te be interested in girls or don't try anything with them because they're computer nerds.
Others know A LOT about PCs and how to fix them and stuff. Gaming comes on a lower place.

For me gaming is just a nice form of entertainment. But I try to keep things in perspective. I have enough friends and I spend time with them. I'm doing very well at university and religion. I live a healthy life. Yadayadayada.
I've been playing less and less games, just because I grow up and realise I have more important things to do. So now I only play the games that are really cool. :)

On a sidenote, how much time per week (or day if you want) do you game?

I know a good amount about PC's and how to fix them, etc...and I game quite a bit also. And I don't see myself as just avoiding females, I'm just waiting until I see the right one:)

But Jonbo, when you meet the right girl, how will you know how to treat her?? If you've got no experience?? I mean, sometimes I'm not that sure about a girl, but I see how far we can get. And I learn from it. But let's not talk about that here.

This is about how much time you put in stuff! :)

I don't know how many hours a week I do it. It varies a lot. It's good to have a hobby like gaming. It's a great thing to play with friends.

So in question, no, gaming does not consume my life.. I make sure it doesn't. Which is why I still have countless games to finish.. but I'm pretty sure I'll be fine having not beat them later down the road.

Gaming is a good part of my life but its not around it.

There's other things that part me from other hardcore gamers, like the will to drive and breathe and watch T.V., to go to the park and play some games, snowboard, and stuff like that

As of now, I think I spend more time on the internet than I do gaming. I like to check GT and talk to people online. And I like listening to music too. Right now the computer is my entertainment medium.

There aren't any games coming out that I'm interested, maybe in the summer. I still play Smash Bros. and CC about once a week with friends though.

Why now? Why? Do you ever get bored?I'm not sure if I would like to do check GT and talk to people online . What's it like?
I am glad we have something (listening to music) in common. You are not the only one.

allWas it plugged in?Maybe some of them are.What would make you stop play Smash Bros? Is Smash Bros a game or a musical instrument?Oh. Oh yeah, we were talking about
once a week with friends

I barely ever play games anymore. There used to be a time when I checked IGN every day and was obsessed with getting the latest news and everything. Now I just sorta read EGM every month and get my news from this forum and such. Plus, I rarely buy games...I'll get the ones I really want, and that's about it, never rent or anything. I've been playing lots of 64 and SNES recently too, I didn't even bring any of the next-gen systems here to college. So, no, the internet consumes my life more than anything.

During the week, I play about 1 or 2 hours a day. It kinda depends on the game I'm playing. If I have a new one (like now, Morrowind) I can play about 3 hours a day. But there have been weeks where I didn't game at all.
In the weekends, I can play about 8 hours in total perhaps...

But like the others, I spend more time on chatting/surfing/listening to music.

Oh yeah, I usual play music when playing games. I get bored with just doing 1 thing.

I play FFXI at least 5 hours a day everyday if not more.

Re: Does gaming consume your life??
 

hmm well I dont have much of a life because I play FFXI. Yeah it takes up about 10-12 hours a day. I have about 40 days gameplay now :(
