So here is the scenario: it's Friday, you just finished work and you can't wait to get home to play some Call of Duty. You hop on WoW just for a little bit to check your auctions and all of a sudden you start one quest and then another and another and another. You missed out on your CoD time, you're too tired to play a single round. So here's the question: Where do you draw the line between games? Whether it be console single player, i.e: RPGs, action titles, etc. or multiplayer games, Call of Duty or Halo. Or if you want to get to that next level in World of Warcraft or Everquest.

With so many titles to be excited about, what game do you purchase and what game do you spend the most time with? Many games such as WoW suck you in and don't let you go from the hell that is, WoW addiction. You forget about everything else in your life. Family, friends, eating, blinking and even breathing (some cases have brought death) So the simplest way to play all of the games you would like to, would be to set up a schedule kind of like how Xbox Live has shown with their "Monday Music Nights" and their "Co-op Nights". Say on Monday after a long day at work kick back and unleash some hell on Call of Duty. Wednesday pop in the single player games. Friday join your buddies in some quests or raids on WoW. I say keep WoW reserved for Friday because it can last all weekend. Sunday relax yourself with an easy RPG. It's your choice on how you set up your "Schedule of Fun" but follow it and you will balance the time between your favorite games.

These two are the oil and water of life. You wish that they would just simply mix, but no matter how hard you try to make them they won't. What used to be your gaming time now becomes your with the girlfriend time, and it seems like your gaming time just gets smaller and smaller and smaller until it is non-existent. A simple talk you would think could fix this problem but the girl would just as easy say it's your fault for not wanting to spend time with her. Girls don't understand how guys need a form of release. We aren't the type who share what we feel or take out our frustrations by talking them out. So our way of dealing with things is grabbing a controller and killing a couple hundred zombies in Left 4 Dead, or trying to get that Nuke in MW2. Like what Will Smith said, "Parents just don't understand." but in this case, "Girls just don't understand." We give into their wants and needs, we go shopping, go with them to get their hair done, watch the movies they want with them, but they can't simply give us the hour we need to do what makes us happy. So all in all, girls and guys need to compromise and put together the realization that we each need to give a little to make the other person happy.
