melell Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Lol I remember being gifted a ps3 with red dead as a free game. I got really into online multiplayer (never played video games before), and I can remember for those few months I didn't do much of what I intended to get done. Games are a blast, but really unproductive.
ltjg45 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 It's a safe bet that I'm a gamer. I got a Nintendo 3DS in my pocket right now at work with Pokemon X in it with Pokemon Y back at home unopened. However, I only play for 4 hours at the most each day, sometimes 1-2 hours, and I don't own any other system. I stopped playing World of Warcraft and I can go days without playing at all. So I don't think I'm addicted anymore but I leave that up to everyone else to judge.
Titania22 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Wait you love SC2 and you're a female? Marry me! I'm committed to my love of SC2. I am female. But I don't believe in marriage. You can add me if you want. StarLight 754 on the NA server.

irc333 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Yep, problem solved. LOL I think I saw an advertisement on Facebook for "find a gamer chick" Find a gamer chick, and it'll be less of an issue. You need someone who shares your passions.
Titania22 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 You're a true diehard I'm too ashame to mention my SC2 name. I'm still in bronze lol Everyone starts somewhere, don't be ashamed. I play for fun and socialisation, not because I ever expect to go pro.
StanMusial Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 There is nothing social to do. Besides going to church. I don't drink and I hate bars in general, and my friends spend their time playing videogames and watching anime. The only other thing to do now is to try to cold approach random women and that has had a 100% fail rate for me with nothing coming from it. Or just try to find groups or something to join but for me I don't really have any groups I'd want to join personally just for the fun of it and not just to get closer to girls. It's sort of a chicken or egg sort of thing. Most guys I knew growing up and through college and beyond who played a lot of video games never had any girls. I don't know if its because they wasted time playing games or maybe they chose to play video games because they never had anything else going on. Let me put it this way, playing video games is very unlikely to help you get girls. So maybe you could try spending that time in a more productive way, out and about, not sitting around in fantasy land. 1
Els Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 The proper conclusion would be: unless you are/become and addict it would unlikely significantly affect your social life. The large majority of the younger generations and significant percentages of older generations are people who in varying degrees enjoy playing a video game. And last time I checked there is no breakdown of relationships forming so apparently they are unrelated. Heck, even tons of women play videogames. Concurring. It's not unhealthy per se, but lots of lonely, unhappy people who play video games fall into addiction because it's a form of escapism. Sure, enjoy your hobbies, but you need to instil balance in your life. Based on what I've read from your posts, your biggest problem probably isn't video games, though.
