I used to care so much about these aspects of Gaming - Console wars, the community, the news, the games themselves, E3, hardware specs, prices, sales, etc.

When I was 11, the first thing I would do is get up and go on the Internet and reply to YouTube comments involving games. And watch tons of YouTube videos about games. And when I joined VGChartz I used to come on here all the time. I played the first Uncharted almost 3 times in a year, beat Super Mario 3D Word 100% in 8 or 9 days, tried to play Zelda in the order of the timeline so I could experience it right, and I used to look up pornographic images for video games characters (Not male characters, I'm straight)... It was like a religion for me.

This goes infinitely past the line people should draw. I draw the line at less than an hour every week. So, rate this on a scale of normalness guys, 1-10.

I think you need to relax. Your threads have been a hot mess lately.

Are you telling people to play less games in a gaming forum? :/

I have been successful then. Most likely. Not that I want to offend people/make people sick of me.

Yes, but I didn't decide the line for you all. That's why I said, "I draw the line at less than an hour every week." instead of, "You should all draw the line at less than an hour every week.".

Don't think you're doing a good job in that department. Personally, I'm not offended but I imagine others are.

Playing to many games and all the time is a waste of time. Cause lets be honest. Its a game. Its not real.

If you play sometimes its entertainment.

You see we dont live forever and it would be a sad story that the legacy says u gamed all your life on that chair.
Neglect the human thing. Marry and have kids. Do fitness have a fight in the ring to evolve your fighting potential.

Game addiction is a bad thing and i learned it. I sold
Sega master system
Sega dreamcast
Sega saturn
Ps1 ps3
Xbox360

All i have left is a megadrive with flash cart. So also the games are sold

This gen i have xbone and wiiu. The wiiu is for family and fitness. Ofcourse bayonetta is ok

Replaying games is also a waste of time. What is done is done. Memories are in your head. Nostalgia is best placed to just remember. If you go back to the days u will find out its outdated. Excep streets of rage ;). Streets of rage is the best game ever.

All with all im concerned about the youth. The agenda of the west womanizes man and makes them sit on a chzir back to back. Being angry is a weird thing nowadays. If u get mad they will take u to the pshyciatrist. (No joke about it)
Stop playing to much.. Reclaim your family bonds hug your wife kids. Have sex with your wife. Visit your already getting old parents.

I converted to islam that worked for me.
And whatever works for you to balance your life do it. But dont overly play games. Your missing out on the world over fictive matters

Yea but its like coming into a gaming forum and telling people to play less games is like going to a tea party and telling people to drink coffee... The purpose of this site is for people that like to play games... If you don't like it, then there is no reason for you to be here...

Well yeah once gaming interferes with your work, relationships, and life in general it's overboard, but I think 95%+ of people here maintain a good balance and do gaming as a hobby/competitive thing to do off-time.

What is the exact difference between gaming all day and playing soccer all day? One is seen as "demonic" or a "waste of time" by ignorant/misguided people and the other is seen as a fun, socially acceptable way to spend a Saturday. The only difference is perception by others.

I'd say It's more like going into a Bar and telling people there to drink less (Not that Video Games are just as bad as Alcohol).
