Necromancer Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 There's a guy at work that lost his wife over gaming. He's a foreman at my plant. He has games set up on his computer and it's all he does on break and at lunch. He sneaks over to play during work hours as well. He tells stories of how he would send his family on vacations and lock himself in his VID GAME ROOM for the whole week and just PLAY. How ridiculous is this? And he's not the only one I know. Vid games are the worst rung on the ladder of NERDDOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Back when everquest was really big there was a help group formed for EQ widows. And there were thousands of members. I was an EQ freak and you can definately get consumed by role playing games like this. You become your characters. Thats why I gave up gaming almost completely when I got married.

Rush! Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 QUOTE (The Rocinante @ Jan 31 2007, 12:35 AM) pretty pathetic Yeah, I agree. It is very pathetic to let a game take over your life like that. I know a couple of people at my school who play that game, that's all they talk about. It controls their damn lives.

Slime Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 The worst part is some of the comments over on YouTube from WoW-ers trying to justify that particular asshole's gaming habits. And they wonder why they don't have girlfriends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Makes me think of the Southpark episode where the boys are playing it for like weeks, and they are all fattened up and nasty, covered in zits, etc. Probably is some truth to it I would imagine, if a guy will ditch his girl in labor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slime Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 The big fear is that, in a few years, there will be a very large group of people who simply CANNOT interact with society because all they've had practice with is pixels and polygons. Oh well. Their loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Their loss. Quick! Get all the socializing done now! Go bar-hopping! Go clubbing! Start a fight! The day humanity loses its ability to interact is the day we no longer deserve to be a species. And no, IMing doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
