Dude, just limit yourself to weekends. If you just vaguely say "Only for a little bit" or if you keep saying "Only for 30 minutes" or "Only for this round" you're going to be making planned short sessions into long one. So just bust your ass during the Weekday with schoolwork/jobs and then when it's Friday and Saturday game on till your eyes bleed. Sunday, you have to exercise some self-control and judge if you have any stuff to do.

Edit: But cutting gaming all together won't help either. Video games are just as valid form of escapism and relaxtion as any other thing. Addiction, dependency, and obsession are bad with anything. Jocks get bad grades by practicing/excerising too much, Bibliophiles will get out of shape and may not do their school work, etc. There's no good addiction, a dependency is always a weakness. Just make sure you can get by without something. Until you get to that point, have firm, clear, and easy to follow limitations. Weekend plan is the best, because there's no way you'll get around that.

 

yea, i think i will also be on here more too to help with the relapse haha,

TBH, I chugged 4-6 glasses of hot Green tea and I've been up all night (morning too)... so I played some PS3 as a result (better than fruitlessly lying in my bed awake)

Getting a girlfriend doesnt make you quit video games. it just makes you play them more secretively, when she is not around. Youve obviously never had a long-term girlfriend :P



 

 

 

 

 

Check out my pyro tf2 vid :)

 

Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)

knock on your neighbor's door and say "I have an early Christmas gift for your kids" and give them all your consoles and games... that should do it.

It's harder for PC gaming as... you actually probably need a PC for everyday use, but for consoles, buying one is a big step that you are less likely to make.

(preferably change neighbor's kids to cousin or friend or someone you like a little at least)

Just get a new hobby.

Like playing tennis, or learning guitar.
