Oh yes I enjoy off topic discussion =) I usually try to have a balance in my life and share the free time I have into many activities.But there have been times when videogames had been an escape -from -reality factor. (Mostly in my teens ). Nowadays videogames dont affect my life much but there have been some occasions when I have heard protesting from girlfriends but there was one time where I even managed to introduce a girl to Adventure Games .It was fun playing Monkey Island and Broken Sword together.You know what they say though....Good things usually don't last - and games are not a crucial factor for 2 people to be together(in that case it was my inability to accept her political views about superiority of race and crap like that ;P).
So,if you have had an experience were gaming affected your personal life in any way and want to share it,feel free to do so!
And ,as always, if my english sux blame my nationality ;)
