Video games have ruined my life! Where do I go?

I was once a fun loving go lucky kinda guy. I was until I found the sweet nectar called video gaming!

Oh at first I would play for a few hours here and there. Then the hours increased until I was playing on average 8-10 hours a day! I wouldn't eat, shower on some days, etc... You get the gist. I'm overweight, women don't want nothing to do with me and I haven't completed college yet! Hell my gut is on my computer table as we speak! I'm disgusted with myself guys. :(

So where do I go from here? I could...

1) Quit video gaming and try to put my life back together.

I just don't know what to do :cry:

*looks up to the sky* "why god! why did you introduce me to video gaming."

:cry:

You're not the only one. I've been addicted since I was 5. Luckily I sold everything (from consoles, to giming rig, etc) and got into photography and school. You know, somethings that's actually worth it :)

Do something else then. Do you have a job?

Well, what I did was stop playing on PC.

Basically I use a console to seperate my "gaming" from my office so I don't get distracted by games.

Just use a cheap laptop for your desk.

Worked for me.

Aim

life isn't worth living anyways. Just do whatever the hell you feel like doing, that includes dieing if you wish.

Just sue them. You may say, "well I have no case". Not so fast. Trial lawyers today will find any bogus reason to sue. Your problem with games is directly the fault of someone else. YOu have no personal responsibility.

hmmmm you should try and find some new hobbies...

i use to kinda be like you playing games pretty much all the time, i still play games but not as much as i use too.

I could sue? eh, I like that idea!

It was the companies faults! Epic, EA, Bioware, etc...

I could make a fortune! :shock:

Also....either image...it is the same image.

Sometimes I play even 12 or more hours a day and I don't get any fatter, I have good realtionships with fellow people and I have a good hygene. I guess it's not just the video games that are ruining your life.

Hell my gut is on my computer table as we speak! Aim

Just chill out and play some Halo.

see a doctor

You ruined your life, not games.

Take whatever you play games on and smash it to bits. Has the feeling of freedom now swept over your body? If so, great! If not, well...sorry about that.

You could have just stopped videogaming.

A wee bit further investigation leads me to suspect that Aim is (a) some annoying troll (b) an alt account of an annoying troll, (possibly American 'cause he speaks English like a prick),

who or which awakens every couple of years to troll us in a shockingly underwhelming and boring manner. Didn't even bother to change the topic

I should probably expect you to come and post the same in 2015, then sit back and laugh in the dark.

I play video games all the time,and I'm not overweight.In fact,I would say I'm underweight.I'm afraid I can't help you too much.

become like me and stop caring about video games.

The gym of course.

the laste sentence of OP pretty much convinced me that he's not going to quit his current routine whatsoever.he just wants our green lights to keep it up.

Go to an arcade! :P

Don't blame video games for you having a terrible lack of self-control.
