Quitting PC Games until college

I know lots of you don't care but i still would like to share this with you. I recently had no life at all, I would just come home and play video games for hours. My parents would keep telling me to get off and go outside, but I would just tell them 5 more minutes which would become hours sometimes. I would basically never go out. I lost lots of friends, which i dont even hang out with now for many other reasons. For a couple of weeks now, I was thinking of quitting so i can start a fresh new start and maybe just get a psp or something. Well, farewell all and happy gaming :)

...you don't really need friends....

let the pc be your friend...pc's are excellent companions...log off gamespot...and log back into azeroth...

If you feel that your gaming habits are having a negative impact on your life, it is your responsibility to handle that. Its great you facing that problem yourself.

Best of luck to you.

I wouldnt put gaming totally off your schedule mate..... It might be good to game once in awhile when you are not at school, doing hoemwork or studying. If you enjoy gaming more then partying and puking all the time, then just game once in awhile when you have the time. In my opinion gaming is a great thing to keep your mind off of things.

Good luck with the school man!

Yup it takes the resolve of a jedi master to balance games and a soical life.... :D

You have a lot of will and a lot of power, but no willpower whatsoever :)

Anyway, good for you, when you come back from real life - tell us what's it like out there :)

Yeah that was the same for me. Love that firefightin'.

Playing games is fine, as long as you conserve your time wisely. I usually play 10 hours a day, but since i finished most PC games too quick, not counting online games cause they don't end at all, i only play 10 hours a week now.

And stop playing MMO's games or any other online games.

Yesterday I researched a interesting discovery. For the first time ever I discovered that the speed of Gravity travels at the same speed of Light. Infact it's said that Gravity bends light. Fascinating...

Give up for college? .. dude... College/Univirsity = Casual Sex, Friends, Gaming.

All you need. Unless you have an extremely time demanding course :(

Since you quit gaming, you should smash your computer and videotape it and then go to the library so you can post the video on youtube and send us a link.df853

no, no, no. if you have a nice computer, you should send it to me.

LOL! That is the worst advice ever!

That wouldn't be funny at all. I think smashing it would be hilariously awesome.

As some said above, the key is definitly balance. Though it is easy to lose your balance while gaming.

Meeting people who enjoy gaming could be good too, shared interest and all that.

Besides, pc gaming is way cheaper than getting drunk in college everynight.

but giving the pc to me would be fun for me.

to make up for the lack of funny in all this, i'll come over your house and smash your pc - i bet that would be pretty funny.

I LOL'd :lol:

Anyway, I know how you feel man. Sometimes it feels like gaming kinda gets in the way of everything else, and even though you could find a solution just by using some self-control, it feels much easier/better to just quit altogether. Been there, done that I guess you could say. ;) Good luck!

I don't know. Somehow that doesn't sound like a very good deal.

I do believe that is how worm holes are formed. Einstein made somekind of theory about that and something about universal phenomenons where you could see the light of stars millions of light years away because light was bended by the gravity of stars... or some crap like that, I'm not a physicist.

High School blows. Seriously, you aren't missing much even if you are playing games in excess. It's doubtful you will form too many lasting relationships in HS, and you will forget most of the people you knew there not long after you get to college. At best, high school is a time to experiment with different girlfriends and social groups, but I wouldn't take anything you do there too seriously. In any event, if you want more time for a social life, you just need to learn to manage your time better rather than give up something you love entirely.

There won't be much time later in life when you have a job and resposibilities that you can just screw off and play videogames, so enjoy it now while you can. And if anything you'll probably game even more when you get to college, as you'll have far more free time. In my case, college was the first time I had ever experienced high speed internet of any kind (damn I'm getting old), so you better believe I did assloads of online gaming.

Btw if some of you actually care im sophomore in h.s. and prolly not gonna play till i end collegePhantomSC

All right, mang. We'll see you in six years or so. Good luck 8)

I thought about this and I can't stop playing what I love, so... I've decided to manage my time while playing but also going out more.

P.S. Thanks for the support.
