I Agree when you say that if you have a life and go out.. and you still play games Thats ok.... But don just sit near the system all damn day and play yaknow. I play a game called Socom 2 and i used to be so addicted to that game. I would stay in all day and glitch and play this game. It was pathetic but then i relized that i had a life. So i stoped playing
Video games are fun. Yes they are but at a controlable rate they are, when you just play non stop .. they suck. |

Well I don't really agree with you but I respect what you said (no I'm not a townie). I think gaming sort of helps you in a way, shooters increase your reaction skills and there are always strategy games, rpg games are also supposed to help you apparently but I'm not so sure...and most of all...they're fun!

game is a two way street. If you have a life, go out often, but still play games i dont think ANYTHING is wrong with that. Its what games are for.. to HAVE fun not to say oh this is a waste of time.. On the other hand, if ALL you do is play and you dont go out places just to play the video games then i think its a problem.

I don't think gaming is a waste of time - but it can get in the way sometimes.
I have no problems with sitting down in the evenings and playing for a while - or when my husband plays at night with his buddies on XBox Live. But it's never interferred with his life. I have however seen people that have become addicted to gaming - D&D was the sore spot for my brother.. I've seen others give up everything for Everquest - that's just rediculous. I think gaming is fine - in moderation. But that's just me. Durham Leafs Halo 2 Clan |

QUOTE(jjhou @ Dec 6 2004, 02:52 PM) game is a two way street. If you have a life, go out often, but still play games i dont think ANYTHING is wrong with that. Its what games are for.. to HAVE fun not to say oh this is a waste of time.. On the other hand, if ALL you do is play and you dont go out places just to play the video games then i think its a problem.  Its not just gaming but pretty mmuch anything, if a person becomes obsessed with a game then yes that can be a problem just like Diablo 2 when u see people on tv divorcing over it cause the husband doesnt go to work and ignores his family for the game, but anything can become an obsession, i saw someone say oragami, well you could become obsessed with that trying to always make a better swan and such, u may laugh but hey it can happen, also games are GREAT for your hand eye coordination and ive seen hospitals even reccomend for people to play video games for part of their reabilitation...but think what you want, games are here to stay and i love em

Maybe you're right. Gaming probably isn't very productive. Of course, that won't change anything
