I with you on that one... I have a final tomorrow and yet I am here... Seriously, since I broke with my GF I have a lot of free time and all I am doing is a 50-50 between games & internet forums... Most of my friends are married and so nobody has time to do anything either... I need a hug lol...

What is this "life" that you keep referring to?

Well it's more than likely we all have a soul and infinite lives in infinite reality's, so why not spend this one on vgchartz lol ;)

I feel like I'm wasting my life doing a lot of things, vgchartz isn't one of them. As far as facebook goes I don't use it too much. Mainly because I stay away from posting about every little thing I do for all to know.

I do often ponder if i'm wasting my life, but VGC has little enough to do with that. VGC and the amount of time i spend on video games in general aren't a factor of my more pressing "what-ifs," but larger structural things.

Ive pretty much stopped discussing numbers on here unless its shipped, because the amount of massive adjustments makes a joke of weeks of debate all the time. I still like to check in every week for the community tho, and to see the general sway of sales figures on the platforms.

Time is a wasting. Here. There. Everywhere.

I've actually been pretty productive the last 3 years ... I graduate this December. I don't think I wasted my life here. It's my leisure time. My escape from real world responsibilities,

I'm totally in agreement with the OP.

Not only do I spend my 'dead time' here, I also browse around like a blind monkey while I could be;

Learning Linux
Learning GEANT4
Brushing up on Mathematics
Learning Quantum Field Theory
Learning Quantum Chromodynamics
Playing Cricket
Meditating
Reading profound books
Cleaning the house
Sitting outside in my garden and enjoying the Cape Town birdlife

*sigh*

It's insane, but I guess I'm an addict.

^ Playing djembe and practicing guitar should be added

You are planting dangerous seeds OP.

I tried to leave last year to focus on my studies, but somehow I did ok despite the piles of weed and internet addiction. It's pathetic really. I cannot imagine Richard Feynman or someone like that wasting time like I do.
