Does gaming consume your life??

GameMaster · 03-13-2004, 09:30 PM

As of now, I think I spend more time on the internet than I do gaming. I like to check GT and talk to people online. And I like listening to music too. Right now the computer is my entertainment medium.

There aren't any games coming out that I'm interested, maybe in the summer. I still play Smash Bros. and CC about once a week with friends though.

Why now? Why? Do you ever get bored?I'm not sure if I would like to do check GT and talk to people online . What's it like?
I am glad we have something (listening to music) in common. You are not the only one.

allWas it plugged in?Maybe some of them are.What would make you stop play Smash Bros? Is Smash Bros a game or a musical instrument?Oh. Oh yeah, we were talking about
once a week with friends

I barely ever play games anymore. There used to be a time when I checked IGN every day and was obsessed with getting the latest news and everything. Now I just sorta read EGM every month and get my news from this forum and such. Plus, I rarely buy games...I'll get the ones I really want, and that's about it, never rent or anything. I've been playing lots of 64 and SNES recently too, I didn't even bring any of the next-gen systems here to college. So, no, the internet consumes my life more than anything.

That used to be me. But since I no longer have a gameboy or a gamecube, I am happily enjoying a new stage in my life where the newest videogames and systems matter nothing to me. Other than about an hour of a SuperNes emulator, videogames have become like wrestling to me ever since I've gotten older. Pointless.

Yeah, I'm on the net more than I play games, but I still play games a bunch.

During the week, I play about 1 or 2 hours a day. It kinda depends on the game I'm playing. If I have a new one (like now, Morrowind) I can play about 3 hours a day. But there have been weeks where I didn't game at all.
In the weekends, I can play about 8 hours in total perhaps...

But like the others, I spend more time on chatting/surfing/listening to music.

Oh yeah, I usual play music when playing games. I get bored with just doing 1 thing.

I play FFXI at least 5 hours a day everyday if not more.

ominub · 03-14-2004, 11:57 PM

hmm well I dont have much of a life because I play FFXI. Yeah it takes up about 10-12 hours a day. I have about 40 days gameplay now

I spend much less time gaming right now because I have work, school, and a girlfriend who I am very happy with, so maybe an hour or two a day if I have time to sit down and actually play.

No it doesn't consume my life.

All my friends know me as a "hardcore gamer" but I would choose going out with them ova a game anyday.

Gaming is just a nice hobby to have. I'd like to say it's relaxing, but sometimes it's real stressful (e.g. Warcraft online, Kof2003).

In this sense, gaming stimulates my brain a lot.

ZebraRampage · 03-15-2004, 10:16 PM

I hardly ever play anymore. I'm either doing homework, or out with my friends. I also listen to a lot of music now. I'm looking for a girlfriend at the moment and planning on asking someone out to Junior prom. Right now not my life consists of basically that. I also wish that someone would give me a damn job. Nobody has accepted me anywhere!
